Speculation. We’ll have none of that here. Let’s stick to “What saith the Scriptures?” First, Revelations 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which […]

Christians Provoking Sinners to Sin
posted by Joel Taylor
Nowhere in Scripture are Christians taught to provoke sinners to sin. Yet that is exactly what these well-meaning (I hope) professing Christians were doing. This is not living as a witness – which is what we are to do, it is provocation, something we as Christians should never practice. Too often, Christians are attacked not […]

Pentagon to Christians in Military: Share the Gospel, Get Court-Martialed
posted by Joel Taylor
The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: “Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian […]

Is there such thing as a ‘good man’?
posted by Joel Taylor
Today a very common thought and teaching was tweeted by New Calvinist Burk Parsons: It's not hard to be a good man, it's impossible. — Burk Parsons (@BurkParsons) April 22, 2013 Is this true? What does God’s Word tell us? Who should we believe? A good man will obtain favor from the Lord, But He […]

Should Christians Pledge Allegiance to The United States Flag?
posted by Joel Taylor
R. C. Sproul, Jr. Because I wish to answer some likely objections before answering this question, you will likely guess my answer. When the Bible calls us to “pray for the peace of Babylon” (Jer. 29:7) I believe that means we are called to pray for the peace of our nation. When the Bible calls […]
Why Some Christians Don’t Vote
posted by Joel Taylor
Voting is a sin, and doubly true now, after the French Revolution. – J.N. Darby One reason many Christians refuse to be involved in politics and/or choose not to vote in political elections could be a result of the influence of modern dispensationalism as founded by J.N. Darby and the influence of others such as […]
The 2012 Dearborn Incident
posted by Joel Taylor
I’ve read the article and seen the rapidly popular video (strong, foul language) on the recent incident of a reported ‘stoning’ of Christians at the annual festival in Dearborn, Michigan. Personally, I’m not impressed. Mainly, because there was no ‘stoning’ on the video. What a joke. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid. First of all, there’s no such […]
Christians Gone AWOL
posted by Joel Taylor
Will you be found working when our King returns? In truth today, there are a lot of Christians who are AWOL today. They have been saved but they refuse to serve the Lord with faithfulness. They are afflicted with what the Bible terms “divers diseases”, Matt. 4:24. Notice some of these afflictions: 1. Sundayitis – […]
The Happiest Man in the World
posted by Joel Taylor
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having […]
More Than A “God Bless.”
posted by Joel Taylor
There’s an old saying, We are not here to see through each other, but rather to see each other through. It’s true when it comes to life within the Church. Christians who are an open book and who have lived even a short time have less need to size up others as there is […]
An Open Letter to Lew Rockwell & Laurence M. Vance
posted by Joel Taylor
Dear Lew…and Laurence, I realize it is perhaps unusual to write an open letter to two individuals at the same time. I’m not sure if it is copasetic or not, but, I suppose it really doesn’t matter. You both write for the Lew Rockwell website (LRC) with you Lew, at the helm. Laurence, you are […]
The Happiest Christians

This precious value, then, is for you who believe. – I Peter 2:7 (NASB) They are the happiest Christians, who have the lowest thoughts of themselves, and in whose eyes Jesus is most glorious and precious. – John Newton’s Letters
And to the angel of the church in America write:
posted by Joel Taylor
The words the Apostle John received from the Lord in the Revelation, and delivered to Laodicea, could very easily be applied to the professing church in America, couldn’t it? “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. “‘I […]
Jonathan Edwards: Christians Are Kings
posted by Joel Taylor
When Christians are called kings, the Scriptures include both what they actually have in this world, and what they have in a future state. The reward which our Lord Jesus promised to his disciples was a kingdom, Luke 22:29, And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me. Christians, having […]

The 20 Worst Christians Of All Time?
posted by Joel Taylor
Note: I believe the following list is neither edifying nor humorous. Actually, it is just wrong. I encourage you to make your comments concerning the post to First Things.com since the post originated at that particular site. – JT Joe Carter of First Things crosses a line: “Out of all the gangsters, serial killers, mass […]
MacArthur To Christians: “Don’t Fornicate with the World”
posted by Joel Taylor
Here is a message the body of Christ needs to hear over and over again. As compromise of biblical truth continues to give a foothold to the church-growth movements and strategies; as young believers continue to bring the culture of the world – music, circus-like entertainment, etc. – into the life of the church fellowship, […]
