  • Carrickfergus revisited

    I blogged about this amazing performance before. See below. Yet, coming across it again I felt compelled to write a little more. This performance is pure magic!

  • Pat Robertson: A Good and Faithful Servant

    Pat Robertson did more for God, and more to advance the Kingdom and help people hurting than every single one of his detractors combined! All this demonstrates the love of God!!! If you have perfect doctrine, but possess no love, you are Hell bound! I’ve seen some Christians on Facebook assert that Pat didn’t preach…

  • Towards a Godly Theocracy: Enlightenment Secular Ideals, or God’s Word to Govern Us

    Background In this article, I discuss what an ideal theocracy would look like, and why I think a modified theonomy within the context of a constitutional theocracy is the best model for Christian governance. To that end, I posit that the Golden Age in America was during the 17th and early 18th centuries when the…

  • Covenant Theology vs Dispensationalism: Towards a Definition of Reformed Essentials

    Introduction Covenant Theology (CT) and dispensationalism (D) are both frameworks created by man to understand and make sense of Scripture (both the Old Testament and New Testament). They are meta-systems of analysis and synthesis. Think of them as interpretive grids. Theological propositions or rather truths are distilled into a framework that aids in understanding the…

    FULL POWER!!! The overwhelming opening of Fantasia Super: Komm, Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott, performed by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, refers almost literally to the opening lines of Acts 2 from the Bible, which say about Pentecost: “And when the day of Pentecost fully came, they were all with one accord in one…
