I wonder...

I wonder if saying grace at a resturant falls under the category to be seen of men?

I wonder if you make a billboard about how abortion breaks God's heart and you put a picture of Jesus on it you violate an image commandment?

I wonder how much theology God is involved with?

I wonder how many are drive by friends looking for gossip and not true friends looking to build up, encourage and listen?

I wonder if we showed our brokeness and absolute need of God and His grace while being totally vulnerable, that geniune community could take place?

I wonder if we really think other people are worth all the heart-ache, hassle and inconvience to us but when we have that thought do we think of Jesus putting up with us?

I wonder if we really want to understand others or we would rather acknowledge from a distance while sounding spiritual?

Culture and Change

Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Many of my independent, fundamental Baptist brethren have made issues and doctrines out of our culture or the change in our culture. They will make these areas a focal point in their preaching or writing. They will preach against them as though there has been a doctrinal dissertation written in the Word of God. However as the Bible clearly teaches in Romans 14:14 that there is nothing unclean of itself - this means that someone may consider something unclean or wrong while another believer may consider the same thing to be clean or right. But the thing or issue is not unclean by itself, this would also include our culture or the change in that culture. It only becomes unclean by a person esteeming it to be unclean. The emphasis is on the person making something or an issue unclean, not the object itself. The G...

Fundamentalist or Biblicist?

In looking back retrospectively over the last 30 years of my Christian life I can see a definitive difference of philosophy between those who are first and foremost a modern day fundamentalist compared to those who are first and foremost a Biblicist. As myself and other Pastors have noticed a trend of the fundamentalists departing further and further from the Bible in favor of man-made platforms as did the Pharisees in the day of Christ. Concerned more about their 'threatened' authority, with their 'outward' appearance, with the 'results' and not with the plain Biblical commands in Scripture such as John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. "Is it fundamental" is a question that resonates from the modern day fundamental Preacher as they push their congregations further and further from the Bible and look to move to the right and be separate from people and institutions that God never commanded ...

What is True Biblical Separation?

Exodus 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. In many realms of Christianity we are told what separation is and what it is not. The person in leadership believes it is his or her God given right and duty to tell other people how they are to live a separated life. What they can do and what they cannot do. Where they can go and where they cannot go. What they can eat or drink and what they cannot eat or drink. Who they can hang around with and who they cannot hang around with. What music you can listen to and what music you cannot listen to. The problem with this is that separation is not a list of do’s and don’ts. It is not whether my wife wears earrings larger than a dime, or hoop earrings or even pants but does she have the presence of God working and leading in her lif...
