Saviors of the World…

Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to save the world - others have sacrificed others in order to save it…
Our world is full of ideological  “isms”. Marxism, Nazism, Feminism (abortion), Environmentalism (see my post below) etc. What many of these “isms” have in common is that they see themselves as “saviors” who are either fighting some sort [...]

Martin Luther on Beer and Wine

Do not suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object which is abused.  Men can go wrong with wine and women.  Shall we then prohibit and abolish women? The sun, the moon, and the stars have been worshiped.  Shall we then pluck them out of the sky?
…see how much he [God] has been able [...]

A Sober Exortation to Preachers and Future Preachers…

This is taken from a message I gave a few years ago to a few future Pastors and Church leaders. I have condensed it for this blog…
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be [...]

Christ and Culture

Culture receives its meaning from the meaning of history… Historic Christianity… believes that Christ stands at the center of history…. According to Scripture, Christ is king not only in his natural prerogative as eternal Logos, co-equal with the Father and the Spirit, but he has been anointed Mediatorial king in virtue of his obedience and [...]

Parents! You are fashioning the destinies of immortal souls!

What we want to do with our children, is not merely to control them and keep them in order–but to implant true principles deep in their hearts which shall rule their whole lives; to shape their character from within into Christlike beauty, and to make of them noble men and women, strong for battle of [...]

Evangelism vs Politics?

If some of you don’t know it, I am involved with the American Heritage Party. The Heritage Party is an explicitly and unapologetically Christian Political party. I believe that as a Christian living in a “democracy” governed by “we the people” I have a certain responsibilities before God and my neighbor, a responsibility to bring [...]

His Life is the Textbook

(J. R. Miller, “Uniting with the Church” 1912)

Bible knowledge alone, does not make one a godly Christian. One might know all the great facts and doctrines of the Word of God, might be a profound Bible scholar and a wise theologian—and yet not be an advanced, or even a growing Christian! [...]

Dallas Willard, Greg Bahnsen, Law and Theology

Christopher Neiswonger has an interesting post at Christian Theology blog (BTW for you TIU folks he is a TIU Law school guy) here is a quote:
Bringing together theology, and law, as you well know, is not at all easy, and antinomianism is overwhelmingly dominant in Christian culture. Part of the problem is that Christians [...]

Public Schools - Educational Neutrality? (The Real Agenda)

“I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classrooms by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the new proselytizers of a new faith, a religion of humanity. These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preacher. The classroom must [...]

“Self-Government” or “Tyrannical Government”

All societies of men must be governed in some way or other.
The less they may have of stringent State Government, the more they must have of individual self-government.
The less they rely on public law or physical force, the more they must rely on private moral restraint.
Men, in a word, must [...]
