One of the common assumptions made by some of my adversaries is that I have been very reluctant to talk about certain incidents/controversies in the past (as I certainly have been). But they then go on to assume that the reason for this reluctance is that I am interested in covering stuff up, for I …
A Quick Follow Up
This last weekend I wrote a detailed account of the disruption in our church that happened after I came to paedobaptist convictions. When I wrote this, I did not have certain documents with me, thus preventing me from quoting from those documents verbatim. That deficiency has been remedied, and so I would like to follow …
Airy Fairy Stuff
“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 45 The most persistent heresy that the Church has had to deal with, over the course of our centuries, is the heresy of Gnosticism. In countless ways, Christians drift into the dangerous assumption that spiritual means immaterial and that unspiritual …

No Buttercup
You are the people of God, and as Christians you bear the name of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord God is jealous for His name, and so we know from His Word that He will deliver His people from the troubles that confront them. He does not always deliver us on the …
Morning Star Ventures
A friend of mine has a venture out of Alaska (through the magic of the web) that is worth checking out. You can find it here.
Behind Closed Doors
I have heard a few commentators say that at least the Terri Schaivo debacle has taught many Americans the importance of having a living will. It ought to have taught no such thing. This is not to say that having a living will is useless or ought to be rejected out of hand. It is …
