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 […]

When Trouble Is Your Fault

So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. – Jonah 1:15 Previous to Jonah being hurled into the raging, stormy sea by pagan sailors, there were a few things of note that occurred filled with instruction… And few want to hear this, even me, but […]

The Trials of Being Homeless
posted by Joel Taylor
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
posted by Joel Taylor
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 […]

Some New Thing
posted by Joel Taylor
For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing. – Acts 17:21 We live in an age when there is a great desire for that which is novel and different. The trend seems to be that what is old […]

Too Much Tebow
posted by Joel Taylor
Well, I waited. I tried to ignore the whole thing, because really, I just didn’t care. But, the blogosphere became all ablaze with Tim Tebow and his cancellation to speak at First Baptist of Dallas. Then, Dr. Jeffress responded publically. If I were politically correct and a bootlicker, I would rave and heap praises on […]
Guns and Crime
posted by Joel Taylor
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?
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 […]

He also demonstrates why it’s important to have a camera in your vehicle and, if you are stopped by police, record them. […]

Truth: It’s More Important Than Who Says It
posted by Joel Taylor
I’ve always found it interesting that so often in ‘reformed’ circles, people place more value and attention on who is speaking rather than what is being said. It’s dangerous to do that because men are men, and truth is truth. Men are fallible and truth is, well, not. We need to be careful brethren. Just […]
The Attempt to Eradicate Christ from Christmas
posted by Joel Taylor
There is an insanity that pervades our nation. It goes from the top governmental office of president to the lowest governing body. It is the aim of our university system, the NEA and the whole public school system. It is seen in the radical work of environmentalists with their doomsday global warming power-play to enslave […]
The Dumbing Down of Worship in America & Our Biblical Witness
posted by Joel Taylor
A big part of the problem is that we have gotten the unconverted in the church while still unconverted, and as such, they have no love for God, His Christ, His people nor for true worship. Over the last 50 years or so, there has been a dumbing down of Biblical worship and the witness […]
Dependency in America

The two “D’s,” debt and dependency, are taking America down the path towards doom. You already know about the debt, but you may not have realized quite how bad the dependency has gotten. …But perhaps the scariest chart in the entire presentation is the following summarizing the unsustainable welfare burden on current taxpayers: For every […]
Lecrae: “My Artistry Generates A Platform”

“My music, my artistry, is really generating a platform for me to be able to articulate the revealed will of God, and His manifold wisdom in that He desires to accomplish His work in and through the Church.” – Lecrae Well, Lecrae, that sounds great, except God never ordained nor instituted behaving like the world, […]
