The following was originally a Twitter thread. In light of many threads today: ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις προσευχὰς ἐντεύξεις εὐχαριστίας ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanks, for all men (1Tim 2:1) followed by the inclusion of kings and those in authority. The string of nouns together with the specific command to include “kings and all in authority” is often […]

Those who know me know I have avoided, assiduously, conflict over the topic of eschatology. Raised dispensational pre-millennial, I was taught in the circles of my youth that this was a definitional issue, and that divergence from that narrow viewpoint was a sign of significant theological error. In Bible college I encountered other views, and while at first repelled, I […]

Remember, we are but mortals, seeing not even an inch in front of us into the future, and forgetting so quickly the past. We judge by the present. We judge in deep ignorance. Even three centuries of darkness would be but a brief interregnum of just judgment in God’s purposes. What if, just perhaps, such a period will reveal with […]

“In this world, therefore, the dominion of good men is profitable, not so much for themselves as for human affairs. But the dominion of bad men is hurtful chiefly to themselves who rule, for they destroy their own souls by greater license in wickedness; while those who are put under them in service are not hurt except by their own […]

In the future it will be wise to speak…well, with wisdom, in what is posted initially in a public setting. It seems bots are often only interested in certain words and phrases at the start of things. So my first paragraph might seem somewhat disconnected. You’ll get the hang of it. So Alaric was a Visigoth leader who led his […]

Want to be ready to survive the coming global socialist revolution? Oh, I don’t mean survive literally—that is in God’s hands. I mean survive spiritually, with a strong heart, sound convictions, and most importantly, a clear conscience? The fast rising “soft totalitarianism” we are facing uses shame as its greatest weapon. Shame on you for holding those ideas! Shame on […]

Most folks know A.W. Pink for his book on the Sovereignty of God. You may have had a “cage stage” Calvinist slap you upside the head with a copy. I still remember the first time I read it as well. It is definitely a classic, well worth the time to ponder. I was thinking about the events of Christmas. I […]

I wanted to share this sermon from two weeks ago from John chapter 9. This chapter’s importance is often overlooked.

Most of you are too young to remember an edition of the Living Bible (paraphrase) called The Way. I still have one from about forty years ago. They were big with the teenagers, as was that phrase, “the Way” (and about the same time, “One Way” with the index finger pointing upward). Many folks will recognize that the phrase “the […]

We will do a special edition of The Dividing Line on Monday at 4pm EDT to respond to this statement from Jimmy Akin. Rome’s apologists have lived for decades on attacking sola scriptura. Pope Francis shines a light they cannot diminish on their systemic failure. But I would like to also look at some comments from “Pastor” Dr. Raphael Warnock […]

Oh King of all the nations! You have blessed the United States of America for more than two centuries. Through wars and strife You have honored the recognition contained in our founding charter that mankind has certain inalienable rights. Even when we did not consistently apply those truths, You honored Your truth, and used this nation to defeat great evil […]

There was a time, not long ago, when a debate was a big deal. Much time and effort went into arranging it, preparing for it, setting up, etc. Of course, those doing the debates, if they were serious minded people with long-range goals, would spend hours and hours and hours preparing, studying, reading, listening. I can honestly say that for […]

John Piper’s article demonstrates that even godly men can fall into the same pit of error: this isn’t about either Trump or Biden, both of whom are horribly flawed candidates. This is about a Marxist revolution and whether you will even *get* to vote in 2024. The reality I wish he understood is seen not in Trump’s arrogance or Biden’s […]

A brief reflection on suffering and God’s comfort set to the virtuoso guitar artistry of Seb Goldswain with pictures from my recent rides around Arizona. Please share with someone who might need encouragement in Christ.
