Their Reactions are the Witness that It’s Not

People don’t say, “Superstitious nonsense,” when listening to a medical practitioner explain medical cures. Why not? People don’t say, “How ridiculous,” when listening to a school teacher explain the importance of education. Why not? People don’t say, “How gullible,” when listening to a motor mechanic explain the necessity for regular car service. Why not? People don’t say, “How brain-washed,” when listening to an insurance agent …

These Great Documents of the Christian Faith

Recently I spent some hours re-reading, The Westminster Confession of Faith (1643-46), Articles of Religion (Thirty-nine Articles 1571: Church of England), The New Hampshire Baptist Confession (1833), Baptist Faith and Message (1963 version) and The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978). For any Christian today who’s in doubt and confusion, or who simply desires to be refreshed in spirit and mind as …

There is a Church that has Not let us Down

In a Television discussion devoted to religion, marriage and euthanasia, a prominent ex-politician told the audience she was disappointed in all of the churches. She said, “they have let us down in a whole variety of ways but, there is a place for someone, certainly other than the state and certainly other than just Rafferty’s Rules (no rules), …

Feeling Restless and Joyless?

A Christian man recently told me that in the last ten years or so he and his wife had left three churches because of unsound doctrine and Scripture compromise. He doesn’t know how long they’ll stay with church number four either, because it practices infant baptism as well as believer’s baptism – a tradition going back nearly …

Who’s The Real Spiritual Rapist Here?

When I first shared the gospel with family and friends twenty-eight years ago, at best there was laughter and ridicule, at worst there was scorn and abuse plus labeling; “religious nutcase” and “fundamentalist idiot.” Two years later when I began in earnest to systematically study the Scriptures, I was warned to prepare for an all-out attack that would one day come …

My Possession of the Mind of Christ

What’s the difference between Christians and other religious people? Simple answer, but a profound truth; we have the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16, which means we have the mind of God. Nobody but a Christian can legitimately claim such for themselves because everyone else rejects the deity of Christ. Reject that reality and you reject God Himself Luke 10:16. “There are two types …

Who’s Building The House?

I’m noticing of late that it’s not only cynical unbelieving people asking, “If God exists, then why doesn’t He show Himself?” But some Christians are asking it too. My answer to the cynical unbeliever is simple, “God reveals Himself to humble, repentant people. Besides, you know He exists.” But that’s not my answer to a brother or sister in Christ, who …

Watch Out For Charlatans and Wolves

Christians have asked me, “What does the Bible mean when it says…….?” When responding by saying it means exactly what it says, they seem rather taken aback. It’s as though they’re thinking, “But there must be more to it than that.” Often such questioning can be a key indicator of what kind of teaching they’re getting. Take salvation …

Looters in Business Suits

The old man learned that one or two of his farm neighbors had their homes looted during some recent floods. It was sad to see the surprised and bewildered expression on his face as he said to the news reporter, “Oh ya can’t do that. That’s not right.” In his late seventies, he was a man who lives by …

Will You Let Truth Bless You or Bite You?

Just a few days before he killed himself, mad Adolf Hitler said to some of his generals, “Everyone has lied to me, everyone has deceived me, no one has told me the truth.” Hitler loved lies; some twenty-five years earlier he made the decision to base his entire life and mission on them. Karl Marx did the …
