Preaching ‘special day’ sermons is an American tradition. Along with Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc, many pastors substitute the sermon with special occasion messages which are sentimental, humanitarian and patriotic. I’m all for American traditions, within reason, but it is troublesome to me that so many seem led to preach by what is expected from […]

Just A Few Will Be Saved
posted by Joel Taylor
Most people believe it is an easy thing to get to heaven. Look at how most people live their lives. Watch how they react to God’s man, the preacher, who is truly proclaiming God’s Word. Look how many say ‘Amen!’ to Sola Scriptura, yet deny it with their lives as a rule of life. Contrary […]

For the Love of Money
posted by Joel Taylor
J. Paul Getty, oil tycoon, reportedly was asked the question regarding his wealth, “When will you have enough?” Getty replied, “When I get just a little bit more.” Getty is not alone in this craving for more. At the other end of the money spectrum there are those whose desire for, or greed, is equal […]

Keeping ‘the feast’ on Memorial Day
posted by Joel Taylor
Pay attention to all that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be heard on your lips. “Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me. You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat […]
When Pastors Void the Law and Commandments
posted by Joel Taylor
Pastors have forsaken God’s laws and commands, and in fulfillment of His many warnings and promises, He has forsaken America. As we look around at even professed Christians, we wonder why Christianity does not keep “believers” out of the worse sins of the world: murder, theft, fornication, adultery, sodomy, &c. We see even adulterers and […]

The knife nearly everyone is wielding at today’s O.K. Corral is the Second Amendment right to bear arms. As with all rights, this knife is easily licensed and limited. Ted R.

The Trials of Being Homeless

Homeless man Ronald Davis discusses the trials and tribulations of being homeless in Chicago. He truly puts things in perspective when he tells the interviewers how he can’t get a job without a phone, and can’t get a phone without a job. When I first saw this interview, I could not help but […]

“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 […]

Not Your Daddy’s Star-Spangled Banner

Madison Rising is a band on a mission: “to not only make great music, but also send a message that American culture is alive and well.” I’m all for patriotism, to a point, that is, but I’m not so sure about ‘American culture’. That’s a pretty broad brush and includes many things I’m sure most […]

A Lesson from Jonah
posted by Joel Taylor
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 […]

Five Friends of Freedom
posted by Joel Taylor
From Our Baptist Heritage: In I Corinthians 9:19, we see a paradox that Paul presents to the Corinthians. He was free from all men while being bound to all men. His freedom related to his position as an apostle (I Corinthians 9:1- “Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen […]

You remember the fourth amendment, don’t you? It states: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, […]
Guns and Crime

More guns equal less crime. Maps made by the U.N. office on Drugs and Crime (circa 2007) clearly show that where gun ownership is highest in the world, crime is lowest on a per capita basis. And….. Any questions?
