If We Truly Believed Sola Scriptura
posted by Joel Taylor
If you give the Church fathers and tradition such a place in your heart, you must, in all fairness, allow the Roman Catholics to use the same to declare as divine authority such heretical teachings and practices as the use of holy water, prayers for the dead, the invocation of saints in prayer. Yesterday, after […]

What has happened to those stalwart soldiers of the cross who once marched to the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers? It is clear there is a present spiritual war in which men must fight if they would win. The fight is not for the faint hearted but for those who would be men of deep-seated […]
The Attempt to Paganize Christianity
posted by Joel Taylor
The attempt to paganize Christianity is nothing new. Indeed, it is an old tactic of the powers of darkness. To say that it has not been successful in its attempt is to fail to see the factual evidence in denominations and individual bodies professing the Christian faith. The fact that such bodies who declare the […]

“The Bible Doesn’t Forbid It, So It’s O.K.”
posted by Joel Taylor
I recently posted an article entitled Sola Scriptura, Faith, Practice & Evil in the Church, in which I concluded “that any practice by and within the Church regarding true religion and our Christian worship that is not found in God’s written Word is, indeed, an evil practice which God both condemns and abhors, being neither […]

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Jonah 3:4 Jonah preaches no more and no less than what God told him say. I would guess that he is pretty "put out" with the Lord anyway about having to […]
