Discussing Ken Wilson’s Work, Part 13 – Augustine Refutes Wilson’s Insistence That He Remained Manichaean
In Part 6, we discussed how Augustine would have refuted such claims that he either remained a Manichee or that he would sneak in some of their beliefs which were not in the Christian Church up to that point.

Does God Accept The Worship of Other Religions?

Thoughts on Inauguration Day
1. Remember God is in complete control. He removes leaders and appoints them. Daniel 2:21 says, “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings.” Take heart that no matter what, everything is coming to pass according to God’s perfectly wise and eternal decree. His purposes are good, holy, and just. Let […]
"God Hath Decreed…"

Prayers for Kings
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 […]
Favoritism in the Church
We all have favorites. A favorite restaurant, a favorite musician, a favorite author, and even a favorite TV show. I wonder if we have favorites when it comes to the church we attend. I am not speaking about a favorite sermon or song in worship. I am r…

Dismantling Dispensationalism: The Origin, Necessity, and Interpretation of the Bible
Christianity is true insofar that the Holy Bible is God’s self-revelation to mankind.[1] The entirety of the Christian faith and its corresponding worldview hinges upon the Bible being the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God (2 Cor. 2:17; 4:2). At least two frightening consequences would result from the Bible simply being another book from […]
Eschatology Will Matter Soon—In A Way We Did Not See Coming
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 […]
Thoughts in the Darkness
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 […]
