As we continue our exploration of the snares of the modern church, a challenging, yet important, topic comes to the fore: Consumer Christianity. This term, while perhaps unfamiliar to some, paints a vivid picture of a troubling trend. It points to the conversion of...
I'm not legalistic when it comes to what you wear to church, even if you're a pastor. But there is a such thing as reverence, and there are some who go out of their way to be irreverent in how they present themselves to the Lord for worship. Take Pastor Scott...
Those who profess Christ yet can't make up their mind if they're going to vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump, let me break it down for you, you're probably not a Christian. If you can't figure out whether or not you're okay with the murder of innocent children in the...
It seems the only standard now used by the media is a double standard. I remember when reporters (in all media) took pride in their independent, balanced, and accurate reporting. You know, the hard-hitting reporter who could not be bought, and was often underpaid, but...
If we do not study our history and its current events, we are doomed to repeat the same problems. Since the Unitarians have championed religious diversity, there was a time Classical Unitarianism prevailed up through the late 20th Century. Since the principles shared...
David Bumgardner describes himself as a "21-year-old student, theologian-in-training, preacher, and content-creator" who is a regular on several podcasts and radio shows, a speaker, and serves as a Pastoral Intern at Faith Memorial Baptist Church in Archer City,...
Heresy is best understood in its History. The beginning premises of the story, The Celestial Railroad, invites the reader to go with the narrator to the Celestial City upon the ingenuity of public transportation—the railroad. Although this journey is not new—for those...
History is not on your side, Pete. In response to ongoing discussion from Mr. Enns podcast, The Gospel Coalition Doesn’t Get Progressive Christianity, much concession and caveats were previously mentioned. Even while anti-intellectualism remains problematic for...
All principled people want everyone to have an equal opportunity for a good life, a safe life, and a productive life, whatever his or her race, religion, or region. That reasonable, humane, and kind attitude is the reason for a quick acceptance of the proclamation,...
This blog post unlike the ones published before, is theological and apologetic in nature. Although this post is not written from an authoritative source (viz., from a minister’s point), the points in this post come from an analytical layman’s perspective. After all,...
For roughly the last 8 years, the Evangelical Church has been stoking the fires of racial division by embracing a cultural movement that is opposed to the gospel and much more akin to Marxist revolutionary ideology than anything Jesus ever taught. Evangelical leaders,...
I recently did a podcast about love and tyranny. In that podcast, I talked about how love is being used as a cloak for tyranny. I focused on how some Christians are employing the argument that if you won’t wear a COVID mask, then you are not loving your neighbor. This...
Unbeknownst to the general Christian public, the American Revolutionaries were not the most unique among individuals in history without considering the religious nature of their involvement with their War for Independence. There was the Enlightenment, but for those...
John MacArthur has been almost single-handedly taking the heat from both the right and the left for his stand for religious liberty. As the California government has unleashed its wrath upon MacArthur, he and his congregation have stood strong in the midst of what is...
Several years ago, we broke the news that Hank Hanegraaff -- known as "The Bible Answer Man" -- had departed the faith deeply held by Protestants rooted on the five solas and, particularly, salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and joined the Eastern Orthodox...
(August 19, 2020 – Los Angeles, California -- Tom Ciesielka) Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, are the targets of a County of Los Angeles request to be held in contempt of court. Thomas More Society attorneys are...
by Don Boys Politicians and babies both need to be changed often and for the same reason, and Americans will be attempting to make changes in November. America’s future depends on what change if any, we make at the voting booth. And the results will depend on whether...
While Bigfoot, flying saucers, unicorns, and green, hairy monsters under your bed don’t exist, voter fraud is real as taxes and almost as certain to happen in November. Anything will be acceptable if it sends Trump from the Oval Office back to his New York Penthouse.
It is tempting to do one act of cruelty that would give sight to every blind person, permit the crippled to walk, and eliminate all deadly diseases in the world. However, my refusal would not be a lack of concern for others but because of personal honor, responsibility, and accountability.
Even though he candidly admits there are no laws that promote racial injustices like the ones prior to the start of the Civil Rights era, Phil Vischer does attempt to draw conclusions that these injustices likely occur today due to a systemic racism on an invisible front.
by Don Boys It seems to be one scandal after another for Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Liberty University. Now the World watches, smiles, and turns in disgust at the photos and video of the Falwell yacht vacation. Jerry is pictured with his arm around a woman...
by D.L. Parker Picking up on the same note of David Lane—“Op-Ed: If America’s Churches and Believers Don’t Stand Up For Government Tyrants, the Country is Finished,” there should be no surprise why this article was titled with a direct insult to the current populace...
