“God is wrong.” “God Never Forgets.” “What are the differences between being anxious to please God, and being anxious to please a man?” “God never has an opinion about anything.” “Is miserable. * cheerily *” “Is cannibalism wrong?” “Is polygamy wrong?” Those are just a few of the controversial statuses that I have propagated over [...]

For some reason over the past couple years, people have found it incumbent upon them to ask what my views were on Israel. Yeah, right, as if you really wanted to know. * shakes head * But evidently, they do. And they aren’t talking about my fascinating views on biblical government and Old Testament Israel [...]

I recently posted the above title as a status on Facebook, and several people immediately proved that it was a controversial statement. Why? Because it is commonly believed that when God forgives our sins, He remembers them no more, thus forgetting them, meaning that He blots them from His knowledge. So if you ask for [...]

Laugh. That comic is funny, but it is also very true. How many times do we get bent out of shape, and spend precious moments of our time (and every moment is precious), trying to convince someone just because they are wrong? Think about it: there are over six and a half billion people on [...]

It is no calumny to be mistaken. Indeed, it is not even a very great fault. And although it is preferable to be correct, other matters of far greater importance ought to pull rank on any division over a matter of correctness. There are, of course, matters in which correctness is of vital, nay, crucial [...]

I have been thinking about appetites lately. It started back when I listened to the Reformer’s Unanimous message on Principle # 4 again: “You cannot satisfy a fleshly appetite by indulging in it,” a couple weeks or so ago. It is really a very good principle. There is a lot of truth packed into it. [...]

Me: “I believe that the Bible should be our foundation for discerning how we ought to influence government.” Someone-else: “You are advocating a theocratic utopia!” Me: “Ummmm… No.” The above exchange is all too common, unfortunately, to be more than slightly humorous to me. I get that response all the time, and it is, to [...]

Greetings and Sincere Felicitations, As many of you know, I am not a Calvinist. I harbor no ill-will towards those of you who are Calvinists, and I do not disassociate with those who believe in TULIP.
