You've heard the phrase "innocent until proven guilty. Yet in some circumstances people are regarded guilty till proven innocent. The media kerfuffle between Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh is both fascinating and deeply frustrating. I don't want to analyze the debacle here - and it is a debacle. I'm … [Read more...]
A Tale of Two Social Justice Statements
A Tale of Two Social Justice Statements - the ongoing Spiritual Warfare. Attacks on God's Word are as old as God's spoken and written Word. In all likelihood whenever "fundamentalists" recall the Serpent's original deception in the Garden of Eden, more enlightened, progressive Christians, will shake their heads in … [Read more...]
Vern Poythress Theophany and the Seven Seals
Vern Poythress is an amillennialist. From my premil perspective I disagree with much of his eschatology. For example, in one article he writes: The new appreciation of inaugurated eschatology has already generated an atmosphere where we find some fresh exegetical argumentation in favor of amillennialism. Geerhardus … [Read more...]
On Dead Bodybuilders and Immortality
For most of my early life I was a biggish kid. Not tall, just...well let's say I was largish sideways. Sport wasn't in my genetic make-up. I preferred reading books. I also loved my comics. At the back of the comics there almost always was an ad aimed at kids like myself. If you sent someone money they'd mail you a … [Read more...]
Conversations With God?
Can one really have conversations with God? I mean other than praying to Him. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against … [Read more...]
On Thralls and Palestinianism

But enough of her problems - here I am again ranting about one of my favorite vexing topics. Where am I going with all this? Let's start with Thrall. One … [Read more...]
Millennial Definitions
Let's briefly look at some millennial definitions. First of all, what does "millennium" mean? In eschatology (the study of Last Things) millennium is a word used for a period of time. It is taken from the Latin meaning "thousand." In Revelation 20:1-7 the Greek word "chilioi" (thousand) is used six times and … [Read more...]
Experiencing Prophecy Burn-Out
Are you experiencing prophecy burn-out? I expect many of us usually can't get enough of prophecy updates and daily Middle East news. Many also thrive on the latest potential prophetic theory of Christ's return to rapture us out of here, based on some new Blood Moon or other discovery. I've watched my share of … [Read more...]
If You Had a Time Machine
What if you had a Time Machine? A secular friend posed this question a few weeks ago. He asked, "What if you had a Time Machine, would you go forward or backward - and why?" The stipulation was that you could only view a single event. In the ensuing conversation, that stipulation was modified to a narrow period no … [Read more...]
A Growing Lawlessness
One only has to read one's preferred daily media feeds to see that there's a growing lawlessness in this world. That said, I should also interject myself here and admit that some people don't believe the world is getting any worse from a moral or criminal standpoint. A friend once mentioned an article which cited … [Read more...]
