Every word which men speak or hear in worship must either renew that word or cheapen it. God has determined to sanctify us through His Word, and therefore, because of our sinful inclinations, we tend to invent various shifts and devices in a vain attempt to keep this sanctification from happening. Of course, overt denial …
If At First You Don’t Secede . . .
“But let me defend them to this extent. They do not want to maintain a distinct Southern heritage because they are afraid that some Yankee judge will outlaw grits. Please note where we actually are as a nation — just a few week away from the full faith and credit clause of the mangled Constitution, …
Oops
Sorry about the silence everybody. Yesterday I was pounded, and today somebody apparently cut the fiber optic line between Pullman and Moscow on accident. Back up now.
On the Prowl for the Lord’s Will
“How should a young man seek a wife? What should his criteria be? First, a few important pointers on what not to do. Do not hand out photocopies of this chapter at the college and career class at church, announcing in a loud voice that you are ready for the marital state and are earnestly …

Referring to the editor of World magazine as “Olasky the Jew” would be one example that I believe I have …

Four years ago today, two airliners flew into the World Trade Towers in New York City. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon. Another plane, perhaps intended for the White House or Capitol, was heroically crashed in Pennsylvania by the passengers instead. At the time, we declared that all this was a portent of God’s …
That Wall of Separation
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed the bill just out of the California legislature, a bill authorizing homosexual marriage in that state. He did this in spite of the fact that he actually supports the right of homosexuals to marry. Let’s try to translate it into terms we all understand. In other words, he is “personally …
A Steep Staircase
The staircase down to Hell is steep enough as it is, but many insist on going even faster, lunging and clattering down as rapidly as they can. They industriously work at damning themselves, and what they receive at the end of their efforts is simply and solely a wage. They arrive at their destination by …
Marriage As Manifest Glory XXXI
INTRODUCTION: We now come to look at what submission actually is. We have been careful to avoid distortions of this teaching because in our generation it is both embraced and rejected wrongly. THE TEXT: “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but …
