“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.” — Martin Luther

Folks, the short version is this: the phrase “seven years” is never mentioned in the New Testament. Not ever. Never once. But somehow, it’s a doctrine in the minds of most modern evangelicals. Ditto for lots of other proclaimed doctrines. Amongst these are: A rebuilt temple in Jerusalem—never mentioned in the New Testament. Jesus said…

    Whose World is This Anyway?

    ,

    Last night, the Thursday night Bible study was yet another doozie. Folks, this group is so hung up on Premillennial Dispensationalism that it’s disgusting. First, they know that I disagree with them on eschatology; therefore, lots of prayers were offered that the Holy Spirit reveal the Truth to them by fiat. Intense study of the…

  • Folks, this blog may make you want to throw bleach over your eyes. It’s that bad. Jeffrey Pribble, a varsity football coach and teacher at Tracy High School, was arrested last week after police said his cell phone was found recording students in the boys’ locker room. Pribble, who began coaching at Tracy High School…

  • There is a lot of talk lately about Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania switching parties to the GOP.  This is because he has shown strong support for Israel.  Make no mistake about it, Fetterman votes with democrats 90% of the time.  Yet there is serious talk of a primary challenge in 2 years.  My advice? …

  • Exactly what the title of this blog says.  We have an election in November. It seems like everyone is saying the Democrats will win big.  I am somewhat skeptical.  Both parties are nominating whack jobs which can sink the whole party if not kept in check.

  • The full title of the book is “Nobody’s Mother: Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and the New Testament.” It is written by Sandra L. Glahn. Glahn is a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary. Yep, I actually read a book by someone at DTS. It’s probably the only title I have read during the current…

  • The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted in elections even if they are received after Election Day. The court was split 5-4 on the ruling, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett writing the majority opinion. She was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, as well as…

  • Ok Kids. First thing. This “Beast” has nothing to do with the Marvel comics character. Neither does it have much to do with modern prophecy pimps like Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHay, Jack Hibbs, or C.I. Scofield. The core of the biblical prophecies about the beast are found in Revelation chapter 13. First, there are two…

  • Fraternal organizations, church groups, volunteer groups, Kiwanis, Rotarians, Lions, Elks, even the Masons; when you think of them, you think service.  Charitable donations, raising money, involvement in the community.  One thing I doubt you think about?  A branded credit card from said organizations.  In a first, the laymen’s service organization of the Roman Catholic Church,…
