Had to keep it to an hour today, but we started looking at some statements from Dale Tuggy in his debate from a number of years ago with Michael Brown in preparation for my second debate with Dale in Tullahoma next month.

Talked about debates and announced the upcoming debate with Dale Tuggy on 9/11 in Tullahoma. Looked at some amazing claims by a guy named Korean Baptist, and then spent the rest of the time looking at David Allen’s “the wooing of the Spir…
Good analysis of church history in relationship to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. I am impressed with this guy’s (says his name is Miles) channel, “Canon and Creed” about “Reformed Catholicism” (Reformed Catholicity – universal Christianity that is … Continue reading
Ever planned a worship service for Sunday morning? It is not as easy as it looks and can be time consuming. Pastors and worship leaders come together to plan services weeks and even months in advance as the people of God come together for corporate wor…
Ten thousand talents once I owed, and nothing had to pay, But Jesus freed me from the load, and washed my debt away. Yet since the Lord forgave my sin, and blotted out my score, Much more indebted I have been, than e’er I was before. My guilt is canceled quite, I know, and satisfaction […]

Father, You know that we could dig deeply into each of these, but sometimes just the sweeping elements of divine grace granted to unworthy sinners is more powerful than any one single grace. For all these gifts, all these promises, we thank You. And th…
Dear Mom, You are not the author of your own story. This statement goes against everything our world would have you believe. The message has been loud and clear: you create yourself through your own choices and actions. You make your own destiny. The results of this idea have been disastrous. If you’ve thought about […]

Michael Lofton just destroyed Roman Catholicism’s claim of being true and the one true church. What an amazing bunch of false-hood! Not only does the Vatican 2 documents and post Vatican 2 theology claim that Muslims worship the same God … Continue reading
