The doctrine of atonement is at the core of the Gospel. Therefore, it is essential for salvation. But through sanctification, God willing, I also believe in limited atonement, substitutionary atonement, and penal substitutionary atonement. But sadly, penal substitutionary atonement is a neglected doctrine. Arminians and many dispensationalists don’t want to believe God hates the sinner, not just sin. And that
One way professing Christians can examine themselves is how their attitude responds to the weather. In California, many grown men whined when it was “too hot.” And then they grumbled when it was “too cold.” Now in Tennessee, I’m experiencing this Freezing Rain phenomenon, but thankfully I hear less complaining. I guess some of the
Take note that I am not telling others whom they should vote for, but I will share my convictions here. I will not vote for Nikki Haley. The world wrongfully proclaims that men and women are equal, but that is an incorrect teaching. Albeit men and women are equally created in the image of God, women
Over the past ten months, we’ve visited over ten churches in the Bible Belt, and are thankful for the experience. One church we remained for two months, and another church for three. Out of all those churches, and all those Lord’s Days, not one practiced the command to participate in communion, not even once. One
The last time I applied medicine for Pink Eye was on horses, and that was ointment. Today I went to Stockdale’s and all they had was spray, and so I applied it according to the directions. I regret not shopping for ointment. #Donkeys
On January 8, 2023, at approx. 1830 hours, Reno Police officers received a radio call of a suspicious circs on Sky Valley Dr. Upon arrival, the call escalated from a possible battery investigation to a shooting. Officers then attempted to detain the suspects, but a shooting ensued. Two suspects were shot by police, but unfortunately,
Some of you have enjoyed going on this virtual ride with us. Thankfully our Shop has been completed, and it is already in use. Though our radio room will not be in the shop. Hopefully, in the future, I will erect another radio tower somewhere behind it for one of our High-Frequency antennas. In the meantime, I have
We’ve been in Tennessee for ten months now and are right-on schedule in making our homestead more self-sustainable. This week an Electrician installed our Generac 26kW Guardian Series Whole House Generator. Twenty-Six thousand watts is plenty to run everything in our home. And the model we chose has more bells and whistles than we’ll ever use.
There’s been much discussion on the internet on this subject, and I have been asked to clarify my position. This is not an article or a position paper. It is merely a blog post to state my position on these doctrines. These are not secondary issues. Common Grace The doctrine of Common Grace wrongfully teaches
America has gotten weak, fearful, and soft, including her Christendom. I long for a Christianity that is a risk-taker, that’s hated by the world; even willing to die for the cause of Christ (Acts 21:13, Matt 5:10-16, Matt 10:28, Jn 15, Philippians 1:19-26; chap 3, James 4:4-5, Fox's Book of Martyrs).
Last night my wife and I enjoyed a trip to a quaint little town. We had a jeweler install a new battery in my watch, ate some delicious Italian food, then looked at some Christmas lights. And of course, handed out Gospel tracts at each location. But what would not escape my mind while watching
This new implement will give us a big bang for our buck, and this is my first time using it. It took a while to understand this. But the horsepower rating has nothing to do about the power or torque of the tractor. But everything about the size of the tractor. So, the reason it
Heard an animal screaming outside, went out to investigate. Once I realized the attack was over, or they devoured something else, I went back inside to grab a camera. By the time I set it up on a tripod, the predatory Turkey Vultures were eating their breakfast. This is proof they don’t only eat roadkill.
Some of the most misused, misapplied, misquoted or twisted Scriptures are Matthew 7:1, Matthew 18:20, John 3:16, John 8:7, Matthew 25:31-36, and either Matthew 11:19 or Luke 7:34. But via sloppy hermeneutics, Romans 12:18c is increasingly being used out of context. Romans 12:18c says “live peaceably with all men.” Compromisers that misquote this partial verse want us to
