A fellow believer said in effect that Christianity does not really allow for political activism. Others have said we should agree to disagree when it comes to beliefs about the nature of the church. We can disagree whether there should be pews, or instruments, or five hour services, or only professional singers. But the church … Continue reading What Is the Church?
Voters need to exercise Christian principles and vote for candidates who demonstrate Christian principles. Notice that I use the term Christian principles, not Christianity, so this doesn't mean to base support on whether the candidate claims to be Christian. For instance, Jimmy Carter claims to be a Christian, but he did not govern according to … Continue reading What Is an American Christian’s Political Responsibility?

A Liberal believes that America's Founding Documents are the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence. A few Liberals might add the state Constitutions from that time. Whatever limited number of documents they choose to acknowledge, liberals insist that these documents need to be interpreted. They might not mean what they "seem to" or "appear to" … Continue reading So What Are America’s Founding Documents?
I cannot begin to count the number of times someone has pointed me to the book of Acts and the early Church as support for "Christian Communism." "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need." … Continue reading Can Communism Be Christian?

We are to speak the truth in love. At the same time, Jesus began his ministry by knotting together a whip of cords and driving animals out of the temple (John 2). He did the same thing the week before He was crucified. Though the Bible does not say this, I believe that Jesus probably … Continue reading Love Does Not Rejoice in Iniquity
She had met her beloved at the studio where she worked in Munich, and had first been introduced to him as Herr Wolff. She remembered him as a “gentleman of a certain age with a funny mustache, a light-colored English overcoat and carrying a big felt hat.” He liked her eyes. He said they reminded him … Continue reading Her Name Was Eva and She Was in Love — Guest Post by Brad Francis
Many people have told me the book of Genesis is an allegory. I am not "educated enough" to understand it's "higher meaning," its true "moral purpose."Luke 16 records Lazarus and "a certain rich man" dying. In the torments of hell, the rich man was able to speak to Abraham. He asked Abraham to send someone … Continue reading “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Matthew 5:17,18 A jot … Continue reading Is Genesis “Allegorical?”
To anyone who remotely believes in the inspiration of the Bible, who wrote Job is an either/or question. Yes, there were probably multiple authors over a period of time. But the scenes in heaven were either divinely revealed, or they were made up, invented, manufactured. There is no middle ground on this issue. Words mean … Continue reading Job Is a “Litmus Test” for Liberalism.
The book of the Apocalypse (unveiling) is a "Revelation" or vision ("I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day"). A vision occurs when someone is awake, while a dream occurs while someone is asleep. Either way, the Spirit of the Lord supernaturally enables someone to remember the details of the vision or dream long … Continue reading Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth: Interpreting The Book of Revelation
Certain types of relativity can be traced to the ancient Greeks, but an adequate study really begins with the classical or mechanical relativity of Sir Isaac Newton.
