Slight Change of Plans

Not to pick on Elmo, but I will use his comment to springboard what a slight change of plans.
I’m inclined toward preterism but if you can show me where I’m wrong then I’m interested.
I do hope to show you where I believe you’re wrong. I planned on writing an essay, or just a really [...]

Shop Lowe’s

Lowe’s isn’t caving to the PC presure. They have decided to continue selling Christmas Trees in their stores, and that’s exactly what they call them too.
In the day of the war on Christmas, I’ll go out of my way to buy from stores that recognize exactly what all the money is being spent on in [...]

By the Grace of God I Am What I Am

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain. – 1 Corinthians 15:10
The way we continually talk about our own inability is an insult to the Creator. The deploring of our own incompetence is a slander against God for having overlooked us. Get into the [...]

The Absoluteness of Jesus Christ

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
He shall glorify Me. – John 16:14
The pietistic movements of to-day have none of the rugged reality of the New Testament about them; there is nothing about them that needs the death of Jesus Christ, all that is required is a pious atmosphere, and prayer and devotion. [...]

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
Being justified freely by His grace. . . – Romans 3:24
The Gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the revelation which it brings is not palatable. There is a certain pride in man that will [...]

Coming Soon – Refuting Preterism

Every so-often, I come across someone with minimal theological understanding that buys into the absolute crap that is Preterism. Preterism is the doctrine that all end-times prophecy was fulfilled by the year A.D. 70. It sounds plausible to people with poor theology and no understanding of history.
It is my goal to write an essay, which [...]

Distraction of Antipathy

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. – Psalm 123:3
The thing of which we have to beware is not so much damage to our belief in God as damage to our Christian temper. ‘Therefore take heed to [...]

Boycott Target

This edition of “Companies I avoid” is a temporary one. I love Target, and my wife and I shop there all the time. However, we’ll be staying out of Target this weekend and joining the AFA Boycott.
Banning of the words “Merry Christmas” in retail stores is something that deeply offends me, and I go out [...]

Shallow and Profound

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31
Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow concerns of life are not ordained of God; they are as much of God as the profound. It [...]

It Is Finished

Today’s My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. – John 17:4
The death of Jesus Christ is the performance in history of the very mind of God. There is no room for looking on Jesus Christ as a martyr; His death was not something that [...]
