Yo Momma! There has been countless harsh reactions, everything from tongue-lashings to homicide, brought about by insulting another person’s mother. Regardless of what the facts may be regarding the charge it is seldom received lightly by the son or daughter of the accused mother. It is obvious that such situations escalate to higher plateaus of […]

God Said, "Let Us Make Man." Man Said, "Let Us Make God."
God Said, “Let Us Make Man.” Man Said, “Let Us Make God.” In Ex 32 Aaron’s excuse in making a golden calf says that the people said to him, “Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, […]
Intellect Or Faith?
Colossians 1:1-29 Which is more important, intellect, or faith?—that seems to be the question of the hour. Among Christians these two ideas fight for preeminence. Some think the two are mutually exclusive – you either have blind faith or you have intellect – but not both. Others say that our minds are the most important […]
No Vote Can Veto the Voice
The Voice is Greater than the Veto God’s church was meant to function with a voice not a vote. It is a “voice crying in the wilderness” and not a “consensus of the multitude” that progresses the church of Jesus Christ. Isa 58:1 ‘Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and […]
Religion Becomes Only An Affair Of The Feelings Without Biblical Doctrines
I have become wearied at times as I have sat listening to certain preachers that place one story upon another story that leads to yet another story –without one hint of Biblical substance. And people seem to love it — but if that is what it is all about we ought to trade in the […]
The Semantic Slide To Schizophrenia
I was raised with the concept that words means things. As a preacher I am convinced that propagation of the gospel demands proper wording else it resides not in the highland of the clear and concise but flounders and sinks in the murky sea of fog and confusion. Habakkuk 2:2 reminds us that clarity of […]
It’s Not The Thing That’s The Thing
Regardless of would be firearms barn burners that screech, howl and pound public podiums railing against the private citizenry’s right to bear arms, the fact will always remain, even if it is a bitter pill to swallow for some, that the gun is not the thing that is the thing. The pistol has no innate […]
The Doctrine of Doctrine
The Doctrine of Doctrine Every Book in the New Testament, except perhaps for the Book of Philemon, contains some sort of exhortation to pursue sound doctrine. Clearly the Bible tells us that a person who does not have the doctrine of Christ does not have God (2 John 9,) and that a person who teaches […]
The Light Doctrine
By J.R. Ensey In a nutshell, the “light doctrine” is the designation given to the theory that the full gospel of John 3:5 and Acts 2:38 was completely lost or perhaps “hidden” during the Dark Ages, and those who lived during that period of time and obeyed all the gospel they were taught or knew—i.e., […]
Not The Wearing Of Gold
Not The Wearing Of Gold. By Verbal Bean Praise God! I have some copies of an Associated Press International article, covering the history of the ring, and it’s helpful in teaching why the Bible said, “Not The Wearing Of Gold” (1Peter 3:3). A ring’s entire history shows it is wrong. It started out wrong. The […]
