In addressing the questions raised by Aaron, we can examine them in whatever order we desire. However, since there is an order to things, a failure to examine them in proper order will yield some very interesting results for our doctrine. In the Scripture, there is an order to building doctrine, which is expressed in [...]

Whether we choose to believe it or not, there is such a thing as an invalid question. It has been said that “There are no stupid questions.” however, since there are invalid questions, we could well say that knowingly asking an invalid question to elicit a particular response, is indeed ends up being a stupid [...]

That verse is Isaiah 1:18, which states: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they [...]

I have added a new section to the website: Preaching. The Introduction begins with this: For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

This is not about “won’t read,” but about “can’t read.” Today, AFP reported the following from the Middle East: “Nearly one in three people in the Arab world is illiterate, including nearly half of all women in the region, the Tunis-based Arab League Educational Cultural and Scientific Organisation said Monday.” It is impossible to state how distressing this [...]
