The Lordship Salvation Issue is surely one of those many topics where the less I say the better. Nevertheless, I do want to say something (with some sense of trepidation). Most of my friends are non-Lordship Salvation. Many are far more informed than I am. In many ways I'm over my head, and would rather avoid … [Read more...]
Reign of the LORD’s Anointed
The Reign of the LORD's Anointed is the sub-title under Psalm 2 in my NASB Bible. It could as easily be titled, "Why do the nations rage?"

Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture
Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture. To P.E. or not to P.E., that is the question! Years ago Grant Jeffrey excitedly announced that he'd found a pre-Darby pretribulational statement in Pseudo Ephraem (P.E.). My eschatological life began as a posttribber.

Are we good enough?
Are we good enough - that is, are we good enough for heaven? Are we good enough because we don't commit any major crimes or sins, and we do kind deeds? Will that get us into heaven? Are you a good person? I know I'm not. I'm certainly not good enough to get into heaven on my own steam. Yet how many times have I … [Read more...]

This was a question I sometimes asked of Full Preterists who assured me that Jesus returned in 70 AD - who even noticed? According to the social … [Read more...]
The Incomparable Christ
The Incomparable Christ is a a sub-heading in the book of Colossians in my Bible. Christ is indeed incomparable. There is no one like Him!

There’s Something about Islam
There's something about Islam. And it isn't good. I understand that where I'm not preaching to the choir, I'll be duly noted as an Islamophobe. That makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
