Blessed Assurance
There are many hurt people out there. The unfortunate thing is that some have been hurt by people that name the name of Christ, and this has the effect of turning people away not only from the people that have hurt them, but from God Himself and His Church. Many of these people struggle to [...]
Equality and the Bible
I once read that one of the interesting things about C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia was the whole concept of multiple kings and queens of Narnia and one High King. The reason that this is interesting is that we usually don’t think of anything but a King being the absolute ruler, but in Lewis’ books [...]
Science Does Not Have All the Answers
The way that scientists tell it, there’s only one way that you can be sure of the truth—if a scientist says so. I frequent different forums over the Internet, and on Reddit it’s easy to get into a debate about Creation and Evolution that easily devolves into “I’m right because I’m a scientist”, even though [...]
A Free Garage Sale
Bible Baptist Church in Bonner Springs, Kansas, has an idea that I think my church should try—it’s a free garage sale: Members of the Bible Baptist Church of Bonner Springs, 426 Emerson Ave., began the program they call “Neighbor Helping Neighbor” last year. They collected donations over several months and then opened their doors to [...]

Are You a Provider?
Sometime ago I received an e-mail from a Gary Hyink in reference to my Godly Husband article, and though I won’t reprint it in its entirety, I think his conclusion is something that we must all consider:
What Can Kids Get Out of Church?
A lot, if you’ll let them… As Josh found out: Anyway, as part of the new schedule of things on Saturday nights, we started using the same curriculum for the elementary kids in both hours. By doing this, we are encouraging parents who are there for both services to take their elementary child with them [...]
Created To Be God’s Friend
I had done Blackaby’s Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God Workbook and I have to say that I totally recommend that book. It’s a 12 week workbook that takes you through looking at the world from God’s perspective as well as your place in it. Since I enjoyed that book so much, [...]
10 Stupid Things That Keep Churches From Growing
As someone that is involved in the leadership of a local church, I find that I often have to think about what we’re doing as a church—why is it that some that come in the door never return, or why is it that some people leave in the first place. That’s one of the reasons [...]
Jesus and the Bible
…The setting is ripe for a fight. The Sadducees are trying to spark some theological controversy. Jesus has his mind on the cross. The other religious leaders have been barking at he and his disciples for years now. Satan continues to pursue and press upon him. This begs a frustrated response. Instead, Jesus calmly and [...]
If You Could Hear Christ Praying…
“If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me. (Robert Murray M’Cheyne p. 179) HT – The Ordinary Pastor
The Inspired King James Version
One of the more recent causes for head scratching has been the King James Version and its veracity. If you’ve followed this blog for any amount of time you know that I’m not wedded to any particular version—I regularly read from the King James, I own an ESV, my kids read from NIV, and my [...]
Sometimes It’s Impossible to Agree
There are many things that I puzzle over on a regular basis. Over the next few days I’ll attempt lay out some of them—just put them out there—and see where (if anywhere) the conversation goes from there. We’ll call it the “Points to Ponder” series. The first one is the difficulty that people have in [...]
Who Is Esaias Anyway?
For a moment, let’s accept the KJV Only argument that the King James is the best translation from a manuscript standpoint as well as from tradition. My question, that has yet to be answered, is “Why has it not been updated since the 1800?” To give a reference, here’s something that always baffled me as [...]
Gender-Neutral Bible–NIV 2011
I didn’t like it when they did it to state and local Constitutions, and I don’t like it when they do it to the Bible. What I’m talking about is the wholesale editing of an historical document to make it say something something that it hasn’t said and does not say for the purpose of [...]
