Taking on the idols
Once upon a time there were a few greedy men. These men loved money. They loved money so much that they were always trying to make more money in evil ways. They would lie, steal, and even hurt others to get more money. They loved money. One evening as they were sitting around their fire, sipping on fine liquor, one […]

Ok, I’ve talked about this plenty of times with several different groups of people. White, black, Christian, unbeliever, man and woman. I’ve heard all the defenses of all sides and heard how wrong I am and how right I am. In other words, I’ve had an exhaustive exposure to the issue of how men supposedly mistreat women. That exposure has pointed […]

It has recently come to the attention of many Christians a view called “postmillennialism”. For some this view has them shaking in their boots, reacting by hurling stones at other Christians, and with others it has given a much deeper appreciation for God’s promises and greater understanding of His Word. As with anything that threatens the traditions of men, strawmen […]

Many individuals have their own idea and opinions about what good and evil are. Some individuals even have varying degrees of good and evil. For some, adultery is not that evil if it were done in revenge and physical assault is justified if one were being slandered.

The Christian will face several issues within his lifetime. The Christian first encounters the transcendent issue; God and the sinner’s condemnation. After Christians respond to the gospel call (the effectual calling) the renewing of the mind takes place in the saint’s life.

Atheists are erecting monuments in favor of their unbelief and in opposition to religion, commonly towards Christianity, while gays/sodomites/homosexuals are becoming more prevalent in our society. Churches are watering down the gospel with ‘feel-good’ messages about self-improvement and positive […]
Read moreCivil Government and It’s Purpose What is the purpose of civil government? Should the civil government provide food for the hungry? Clothes from The Fifth Collection for the naked? Protection for the righteous? What is the role of civil government, and more importantly, who should be the one to answer these questions? If these questions are left up to each […]
Read moreThe pride and sense of accomplishment that used to come with voting has blown over like a 1990’s American fashion statement. The battle of “Left vs Right” has become a worn out slogan. The power of the county, district, and state to elect delegates and slate members is no longer a certainty, but is now under the jurisdiction of the […]
Read moreThe Boston Marathon, held on Patriot’s Day, was concluded with the explosion of two devices, leaving many wounded and a few killed. This event will be the start of something commonplace in American society as states, cities, and the nation moves towards a humanistic, progressive, socialist, anti-God civil government and culture. The event is sad, no matter how theological we […]
Read moreAs a Christian that has come out of nominalism, legalism, Arminianism, mild anti-nomianism, premillennialism, and an anti-theonomic system, I can see the errors I have made, and how I wrongly treated those that disagreed with me. I see the same thing being done against those of us who would hold to post-millennialism, partial preterism, or theonomy. Hardly are we ever […]
