Eschatology Considered
In my eschatology (the study of the End Times), I’m a premillennial dispensationalist. I believe in a return of Christ before the 1,000 year Millennium in which Christ will rule the earth from Jerusalem. I also believe in a pretribulation rapture of the Church, where Christ will meet us, His saints, in the air. We’ll…

Some thoughts on America
One of the things which I admire about President Ronald Reagan was his ability to work with Democrats in Congress, and have true bipartisan cooperation. Democrats and Republicans still had strong disagreements, yet for the common good they found ways to come together to benefit the citizens of our great country. Today we rarely see…

Worship Music
How we worship God matters. And part of worship is our music. David sung praises unto the Lord with his psalms. Yes the psalms are meant to be sung! Have you noticed that so much of what passes for praise music these days is utterly banal, if not outright blasphemous (viz, Jesus as their boyfriend). …

American Gospel
I just saw the documentary “American Gospel: Christ Alone” (2018). It clearly presents the Gospel and shows how for many Americans, they are merely nominal, cultural “Christians” who were raised in churches, read the Bible, even attend Christian schools, yet they never repented and believed the Gospel. They never trusted in Christ Alone. It also…

Sadly in recent decades fewer people in America now identify as Christian, and the number of people who are unaffiliated with no religion has increased to 33%! According to recent polling by…

The Immaculate Conception of Mary Debunked
Bernadette Soubirous, a young teenager in France in the 19th century, reportedly experienced 18 visions of the Blessed Mother Mary. She appeared to Bernadette in a grotto near Lourdes. In one of these visions she exclaimed, “I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION!” From Wikipedia: The Marian Apparitions at Lourdes were reported in 1858 by Bernadette Soubirous,…

Scrooge 1935
Here we see the opening credits at the commencement of the story in the book: “I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, and each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses…

Christmas Reminiscing
I would like to wish all my readers a very happy, blessed, and merry Christmas! I know some Christians believe only Biblical holidays should be observed – those who follow the regulative principle of worship, which only allows that which Scripture explicitly allows. I follow the normative principle of worship. I believe we can do…
