Christian? Husband? Father? Pastor? Educator? Philosopher? Evangelical, Reformed, Kyperian, Presupp, and Bills Mafia? In other words, am I a normal human? Yes.
Simple. Straightforward. Sola Scriptura not Sola Feels.
The great mass of Christians are starved for many things, but one of them is certainly this: Courageous leaders. Pastors, aim to be men of courage and conviction, not managerial slaves of popular opinion, always holding a finger to the wind of fashionable notions.
Do you suppose that these adulterers were worse than all the other adulterers because they suffered this fate? I tell you no, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. (Lk 13:1-5)
This is all over the place in Matthew. I personally am convinced that Matthew recorded many verbatim teachings of Jesus that he originally spoke in Greek and reveal Jesus’s wit in said language. Just look at the alliteration in the opening or the sermon on the mount:…
“Many are called, few are chosen” (Mt 22.14) sounds like a nice, memorable epigram in Greek (polloi kletoi, oligoi eklektoi) but not in Aramaic. Wonder whether the Lord originally said this in Greek...
From just 88 piano keys that sit there silently before us, Bach was able to discover sequences and harmonies of sound to produce over 1K opal compositions. And from just 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA, the Lord was able to encode sequences of over 8 million species of life forms.
This label has been attempted to be put on me. However, it fell off like a square of butter applied to hot Teflon turned sideways.
Even though I’m 62 I suppose I’m a “disaffected young man.” Disaffected is the new deplorable. #pcaga
When you’re falsely accused let the burden of proof remain with the accuser. Just say, “Prove it.”
Men: Focus on your labor in a distracted world. Keep pouring into your projects and the labor God has set before you. Avoid antagonists and contrarians who troll. Block generously. If you engage, they will gladly drain you. Therefore, engage selectively. The vast amount of…
Was present for this interview. The same applies to the small group movement.
Voddie Baucham sees churches that have multiple services as a problem: “We’re no longer ‘a’ church, we’re multiple churches that use the same building.” Is Voddie right? If a church holds two separate services, are they really two separate churches?
We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep. (Lk 7:32) Tone is not the issue.

Impacts of Femenism. Men are having to work twice as hard as their grandfathers to win the affection of women who aspire to be 1/10 of what their grandmothers were.
Fight libs, don’t get your votes, and be sad. Give in to libs, don’t get your votes, and be sad. Either way…
Jesus is Prophet Priest and King. As Prophet, He represents God to man. As Priest, He represents man to God. As King, He represents God to the world.
Happy Pentecost Sunday! - Remember the mission. - Finish the mission.
Daniel 7:18, the power that Musk and Trump are quarreling over has already been gifted to the saints. And soon enough, we shall possess it in fact, not only in name.
To be a leader in the home is to be the person who uses “Let’s” a lot. Let’s read the Bible. Let’s pray. Let’s sing a hymn. Let’s go for a walk. Let’s plan how to get to church on time. Let’s go help your mom. Let’s have fun today. Let’s go share the gospel with someone.
