I made a DVD of a verse by verse look at the book of James. Anyone who wants a free copy can PM me with an address and I will send one. The central thesis is that James was written to believing Jews early in church history while the offer for Israel to receive the kingdom was still open. His...

The term “Invisible Hand” was coined by Adam Smith in 1759 to describe how he saw the economy and trade conducted. It seemed organized even thought there was no script or agency of control. Like an ant colony what is observed is the collective effect of individual actions. There is no central...

Here is an interesting web page with 10 short videos (approx 5 min each) that describe why our world seems to be going insane. It puts forth the idea that Satan (who sets the course of the world insofar as he is allowed by God) has over the centuries worked to bring us to a collectivized state...

I was reading about a parent that was having difficulty with her teen daughter on another forum and I thought the advice given might be helpful for other parents who might face similar problems. One might not expect the problem in Christian homes, but the influence of the world is pretty strong...

I joined Mensa over 40 years ago. Over the years I have also hosted a SIG (special interest group in Mensa) for bible study in the town that I lived in. I rejoined Mensa last year and found that the group in general was much less tolerant of Christianity. I suspect that as colleges transitioned...

Modern man is so inculcated in organizational systems such as school, government, corporations, and even church that it is difficult even to imagine any other sort of life. A friend who was a seminary graduate was once a little irritated with my criticisms of contemporary church that he asked...

A key to understanding dispensationalism is to understand what the job was of a steward of a household. There were no corporations for employment. People would either work for families as members or as slaves. The steward would be like a foreman handing out tools, supplies, clothing, money, etc...

In one thread the question was asked if Quiverfull was dying. I think so for several reasons. One is that as a sort of brand or packaged requirement, it never found a place outside of a narrow denominational niche. A larger reason is that in an age of prosperity, having children represents a...

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I...

We have a son 23 and a daughter 20 who would like to find like-minded Christians for marriage. Since we live in a rural area and most churches seem to be going in a liberal direction, I thought I would ask if there were any other Christian parents that might have a desire to make family to...

Darwin had two theories that he thought worked in concert. The first was a theory that postulated through mutations that new genetic information was being added to life forms continuously. The second thesis was that because these differences would also differ in survivability, those that were...

I used to teach a bible study at a juvenile detention facility. The boys would frequently ask, "What church should I go to?" It was a hard question to answer. I would tell them that almost any church would take one look at them and ship them off to youth group where they would have pizza and go...

I was curious to what extent if any young people would view an active role by their parents in connecting with other families as a positive step. I am not suggesting arranged marriages, but family to family connections might allow for young people to explore the possibility of mutual interest...

Ten years ago a short book titled “The Shack” exploded across the Christian community in popularity. This month a movie adaptation is being released with a similarly expected popularity. The book is presented as a way to make God more accessible. It has often been critiqued on the basis of flaws...

The recent media coverage of Bruce Jenner has revealed that he claims to be a Christian. Some might dispute his claim. However, In an age where Satan has accomplished so much, I do not think we should be surprised to see what many might consider "walking wounded" on the Christian battlefield...

Another thread posed these questions and I thought it might not be a bad idea to start a new threat to answer them; So, what is a "Fundamentalist"? And, could I be one? The term "fundamentalist came into popular usage in response to a series of books that were printed to bolster Sunday School...

Our children are getting to the age where they are going to start dating/courtship. They are somewhat isolated for three reasons. Firstly, we live in a rural area. Secondly, we have home schooled our children. Thirdly, our beliefs are not compatible with most Christian practice as we desire to...
