There’s nothing wrong with setting aside a special personal day to honor your mother and father. But as time goes on, I see an increasing number of Churches incorporating National holidays into their “Church” services, even with birthdays and graduation ceremonies. They’ve become increasingly pragmatic, horizontal, and idolatrous. Last year on Mother’s Day I sat
Having said all this. Discernment is not the ability to see and expose the more obvious and egregious violations of a regulative principle of worship like this. Biblical discernment is the ability to detect the lessor violations because a little leaven leavens the whole lump. The solution to this sinister minister and their not a
No, this presentation is not political. The RINO I spoke of is a church, or person that is Reformed In Name Only. This is a historical overview of a Reformed – Calvinist church. Regretfully I failed to mention the importance of covenant theology over the errs of dispensationalism that have crept into some so-called “reformed”
This is why I refuse to disclose my birthdate to a church. It is not about me; it is not about us. It is everything about the Triunity of the Godhead – Christ is the Head of His church. A solution to this silly horizontal worship is repent, not repeat, and practice a Regulative Principle of

In this PowerPoint, I present the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture and sola Scriptura vs. solo Scriptura. I also address the growing trend of “churches” that no longer practice this doctrine. “In this way the sola Scriptura first became a thesis and then received a polemical and hermeneutical function in the actual life of
I’m enjoying this excellent biography, the Life and Campaigns of Stonewall Jackson, written by his Chaplain, Robert L. Dabney (a Confederate States Army chaplain, and reformed Theologian). The following are some excerpts, as well as my thoughts and applications. Chapter IV – Life in Lexington Jackson now professes faith in Christ and has been baptized.
Years ago, while visiting my first reformed church I asked a fellow “When and where does your men’s ministry meet?” He replied, “We don’t have one, they’re not Biblical!” I was taken aback by that. But being taken back is a good thing. I didn’t fight it. I investigated it and learned the difference between
Recently after visiting another church here in the “Bible Belt,” I posted the following on my Facebook wall. “Visited another church this morning. Immediately upon entering the building it looked like a scene from the movie Jaws. Then the sanctuary looked like the beach, even a surfboard, shorts, and guitars on the stage. I’ve come
