Why do so many of our opinions rest on an unfalsifiable hypothesis while yet claiming the mantle of "science" as the basis for believing them?

The Bible contains surprisingly few occurrences of the words "happy" and "happiness."

This lesson explores the ongoing process of sanctification, emphasizing its cooperative nature between God's grace and the believer's obedience, while firmly rejecting errors like carnal Christianity ... sermonaudio.com/sermons/722251…

There is the battle: Satan either (1) raising doubts about the truth of God's word or (2) quoting scripture in order to distort its true meaning; and Jesus correcting false doctrines, false interpretations, and human traditions with the word of God properly understood.

Here's an important clue for the clueless: where there is no gospel, there is no church. Let the reader understand the essential difference between the poor church of Smyrna and the rich church of Laodicea.

There are bigger lies behind evolution--particularly a persistent belief in an old universe. Geological uniformitarianism also helped set the stage for evolutionism. Big Bang cosmology props up long ages. But take away deep time, and these other belief systems crumble.

Maybe it's part of the process of socially conditioning the masses to pay people for doing absolutely nothing. And as the WNBA now illustrates, employees likewise demanding to be paid to work for a business that has never actually made a profit. IOW -- it's socialism.

At a current average temperature of 57 F, we have a long way to go before we reach 212 F.

Grok estimates that the NBA has subsidized the WNBA to the tune of $500 million since it was first formed. The WNBA has never made a profit. It only remains in business with money from the league that actually makes a profit because people actually watch the games.

First century Christians were accused of "turning the world upside down." In fact, they were turning the world right side up with the truth of the gospel. Shall we aspire to less than this?

How serious is your sin? More than you think. Far more. Literally nothing but the blood of Christ could save you from it.

Friendly reminder: Christ ever lives to make intercession for his saints.

You should take no comfort--no comfort at all--in any form of religion that requires the merit of your filthy works or the works of any other but Christ alone.

The problem with "science" is its unwillingness to differentiate between facts and fanciful fabrications.

Here's the "TL;DR": Socialists are liars and thieves. Taking another man's labor by force is enslavement.

The man who thinks his salvation is mostly a matter of his choosing the offer of grace is a man who has an insufficient understanding of the burden of debt he bears in relation to God and the one-sided nature of God's forgiveness toward the offender.
