Clark, I concede that it’s hard to draw a line between “express command” and “inference.” There’s always inference at some level. Therefore, were I arguing Campbell’s case for him, I would (and do) take a different approach. I just think we need to take the numerous passages promising salvation to all with faith in Jesus [...]

Brent, Thanks for the story. It sounds like that church split over whether to allow instrumental music in a wedding! Very, very sad. I was just told that a Church of Christ in town figures they can’t fellowship my own church because we clap. We clap to the music, and that evidently puts us outside [...]

Dwayne,
I just checked. No web cam on my monitor — just the way I ordered it.

Verses 1:11-12
(Eph 1:11-12 ESV) 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
As will become clearer [...]

Abilene Christian’s lectureship, now called Summit, begins September 19, and I’m planning on attending along with some of the elders and staff here. I won’t be able to stay for the entire event, due to work commitments, but I expect to be there at least the first couple of days. I am excited! The last time I [...] -

I know all about dry spells, been on a long one! I always enjoy your posts and I wouldn’t have known from recent ones that you were ‘running out of words/thoughts”. Very interesting thoughts here today, following Jesus means at times we too will experience being outside in lonely places. I have often wondered about [...]

Guy, Dan H is right. I might could have said it better, so let me try again. You can’t assert that someone is not true to the Restoration Movement regarding a dispute about the instrument when the Restoration Movement was not about the instrument. Barton W. Stone, Walter Scott, and Thomas and Alexander Campbell founded [...]

I would never call it sinful to use intruments in worship. But I call it inconsistent with the idea of Restoration. If we strive for unity through going back to the “Ancient Order of Things”, a-capella worship (to be sure) is one of the “minors”. But it always becomes an issue, when people want to [...]

FryerTuck, I agree. Last year, Va Tech was crushed by UA and looked overall like a good, mid-level SEC team. Boise State has proven that it could be 4 and 4 in SEC play — hardly national championship credentials. Laymond, Does TCU play any serious competition this year? Or is it, like Boise State, trying [...]

Sid,
Thanks for the punch lines. I had to re-open the old post to remember what “More Calvnist Humor” is, and I got to laugh all over again!

You have to watch the video, even if you’ve seen it before. It’s funny. It’s so funny I posted here a while back … just because it’s funny. I appreciate and enjoy the humor. I do. This is an example of ironic, Postmodern humor. It’s very hip, and just the kind of humor that young [...] -

From the great American, the late Lewis Grizzard,
Our Way Against Theirs I was walking behind a friend and his wife as we entered the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans on January 1, 1981 to watch Georgia play Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. If Georgia won, the Bulldogs would be the 1980 national collegiate football [...]

Anonymous, Luther’s anti-Semitism help create the Holocaust, I’m persuaded. In the 20th Century, much European scholarship sought to write Judaism out of the NT. Judaism was perceived as too primitive to be worthy of consideration. This attitude led to some very bad scholarship, much of which filtered down to the grassroots. I have study Bibles [...]

Laymond, From Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill–
(Act 17:30-31 ESV) 30 “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given [...]

There is nothing more fun that college football in the Southeastern Conference. Don’t disagree unless you’ve tried it. It’s not a hobby around here. It’s a way of life. And I’m so glad that the college football season has FINALLY returned. No insult intended, but San Jose State never had a chance against Alabama yesterday. [...]
