The LORD rebuke you, Barack Obama.

Yesterday, President Barack Obama spoke in Minneapolis, MN and decided to invoke the name of God to support his contention that we all should have government mandated and managed health insurance forced upon us. Fundamentally, I disagree, Moreover, I have major problems with him invoking God in any way to support his socialist cause. The [...]

Beyond Our Design

On the 25th of June, 2009, the rock singer Michael Jackson left this life and entered eternity. By all reports, he was not prepared for that final journey. It was revealed in numerous articles that he was abusing prescription drugs, and was not functioning anywhere near normal. It was sad to read of someone who [...]

Spiritual Maturity?

Comments (4) Filed under: Christian Conduct, Doctrine, Society, Thought of the Day by: Paul
Tags: America, Christian, Christianity, church, religion, Scripture, Society, worship

From time to time I receive notifications of the surveys Barna Group does relating to religion, and specifically Christians and Christianity. The title of the latest survey is “Many Churchgoers and Faith Leaders Struggle to Define Spiritual Maturity“1 The results, though distressing, are not surprising. The sad truth is the results should not surprise anyone familiar [...]

A Mislabeled Can

From time to time I received notifications of The Barna Group’s studies and surveys of American Christianity. It is helpful in understanding why this country is in the mess it is in, and how supposed Christians seem to have little to no influence on this nation. Well, the latest Barna Survey shows exactly why [...]

Set-up for the Anti-Christ

Tags: America, Anti-Christ, Charismatic Clavinism, Society

Out of the blue, on Saturday morning, I received an e-mail from Aaron, the gentleman I have been contending with over the issue of Calvinism. Now, Aaron is not just a Calvinist, but a Charismatic Calvinist. Personally, I don’t see how the two fit together, but there are a number of folks who are just [...]

Why America is Condemned

Comments (2) Filed under: Christian Conduct, Society by: Paul
Tags: America, Baptists, Christian, religion, Society

It pains me to have to write this, nonetheless it is utterly necessary as Americans need to understand what is happening to America and why. America is condemned, and will be destroyed — end of story. There is at this point, literally nothing that can be done to stop it. Why? Because America has totally [...]

Recovery

Well, last week was quite the week, with the worst ice storm I have ever experienced. And, according to several lifelong residents of this area, the absolute worst they have ever seen in this area. Generally speaking, Northwest Arkansas does not get bad ice storms, and when one does occur, it happens so infrequently that [...]

Caving to Evil

Comments (0) Filed under: Society, Thought of the Day by: Paul
Tags: Germany, Islam, Israel

NOTE: This is one of my few digressions to something not specifically and expressly addressing Scriptural doctrine. However, it is quite needful to call attention to this particular item as it affects everyone, not just Israel and the Jews. Today (1/11/2009) Arutz Sheva, Israel National News reported on an incident in Duisburg, Germany. The report was [...]

Communist Goals and Christians

Comments (0) Filed under: Christian Conduct, Society by: Paul
Tags: communism

One of the most distressing things about modern America is the total lack of understanding about how an individual’s thinking (and hence behavior) affect society and contribute to the destruction of the United States. Today, it is not just communists that think like communists, but fundamental and evangelical Christians as well. Why? Because they have [...]

Dangerous Thinking

Comments (0) Filed under: Society, Thought of the Day by: Paul
Tags: Baptists, Constitution, government, politics, Socialism

I don’t usually make political comment. However, when certain events occur, which have bearing on, and reflect, certain modes of thinking, I do like to use them to point out flaws in the way we (by that I mean particularly fundamental Baptists) think. This is not to say that all the thought processes are wrong, [...]

Post Policy

I reserve the right to edit posts after they are published to correct typographical and sentence construction errors. I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks when it is necessary to clarify a point made.

At no time will the doctrine or teaching of a post change through post-publication editing. The doctrine I hold is Scripturally accurate and thus set.

Please read, learn and enjoy. If you happen to find an error, please drop me a line using the following address:
paulATreproachofmen.org

Just replace the AT with @ when cutting and pasting the address into the field.
Comment Policy

In the interests of discussion, "Comment Moderation" has been lifted. However, I reserve the right to delete comments that are abusive, vulgar, or offensive to decency and off-topic. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If comments become egregious, as they have before, then "Comment Moderation" will be re-enabled without warning.

I do not like comment moderation, but will invoke if it becomes necessary.
Link Policy

This will probably offend some, however I find it necessary to explain my position with regard to linking to other blogs.

Generally, if someone wishes to link their blog to this one, that is fine. There is an exception when it comes to those who are cults, or hold beliefs so egregious that they cannot be accepted at all. The same goes for blogs where immorality is advocated.

On the other hand, I may not reciprocate the link. It depends upon the doctrinal position of the individual or organization. The guiding rule for this is my Statement of Faith. This does not mean that I demand that someone walk “lockstep” with me before I will link to them. What it does mean is they must be solid on the doctrines. Linking, whether we like it or not, does indicate approval of either the individual, or the content of the blog (or site). I am very careful of what I “approve” of as it can and will be used against this ministry. This is not to say that the opinions of others dictate who I associate with. Rather, it is about witness and testimony, and being effective in presenting the unvarnished truth.

So, if you desire that I reciprocate a link, send me an e-mail indicating so. On the other hand, if I have time, and can go through your blog, I may reciprocate without the e-mail, but that’s not guaranteed.
