Like many others, over the last two years, my wife & I have lost money that we’ve invested in retirement accounts, etcetera. But we know the Lord decrees these things, perhaps as His inevitable judgment. As this worsens, sadly, people with no hope will sinfully commit suicide. But by faith, we do not complain but
In one of the many churches I’ve discerningly visited here in the Bible Belt, the pastor told me that Christians who refuse to apply for membership are intentionally “avoiding church discipline.” I suspect he was referring to me because, at that time, I had visited that church for three months (though no longer there). But
Today I was enjoying my personal study so much, that I wanted to share this portion with others. Most Dispensationalists won’t understand the Old Testament in this way. They often quote John 3:16 as their ‘go-to’ Gospel verse. And while doing so, they wrongfully teach a universal atonement. I know this because I was that
The doctrine of atonement is at the core of the Gospel. Therefore, it is essential for salvation. But through sanctification, God willing, I also believe in limited atonement, substitutionary atonement, and penal substitutionary atonement. But sadly, penal substitutionary atonement is a neglected doctrine. Arminians and many dispensationalists don’t want to believe God hates the sinner, not just sin. And that
Last night my wife and I enjoyed a trip to a quaint little town. We had a jeweler install a new battery in my watch, ate some delicious Italian food, then looked at some Christmas lights. And of course, handed out Gospel tracts at each location. But what would not escape my mind while watching
Let it be noted that I don’t write this with a self-righteous attitude like, “How could they do that?” Regretfully, decades ago, I utilized the professional services of a psychologist, who referred me to a psychiatrist, who gave me prescriptions for psychotropic drugs. But as the old adage says, “If only I knew then, what
Working as a police officer in the big city, I testify that every Halloween there is an increase in crime and demonic activity. There was a season when an initiation for want-a-be gangbangers was to assault children while they went trick or treating. Hence, a little boy in my LAPD beat was tragically shot &
My preface If Christian men are going to engage in the defense of Biblical masculinity (via apologetics). Then it will be necessary to oppose egalitarianism and feminism while doing so (via polemics). So, yesterday I posted the following statement on social media. “I’m convinced that the sinful growing trend of females leading in their homes,
A friend from California emailed the below video to me. This incident occurred back on March 31, 2020, and a judge recently ordered its release for public view. This video depicts multiple California Highway Patrol officers having blood drawn from a DUI suspect. The suspect had refused to comply and resisted the lawful demands of
As you know I made a podcast calling out Josh Buice and Paul Washer for their false teaching and application on Romans 13. A fruit of that teaching was the cowardly closure of churches during Covid. Had it been their own private decision between their Elders, I would have remained silent. But what provoked me to
Well, the Lord has spoken. Via His Divine decree, He has orchestrated events that made it clear we are to retire to the State of Tennessee. However, for personal reasons, we will maintain dual residency in both states, but only for a few years. Though my wife will still be in California much of the time.
While serving in the 90s as the elected Vice President of a police organization, the President (a moderate Republican) warned others about me saying, “Watch out, he’s to the right of Reagan!” Those words were meant to insult me. Nonetheless, those words have stuck with me all these years, and I receive them as a
Today many pastors across America are joining Canadians in their protest against Canada’s ban on conversion therapy, as well as their new laws that limit their speech in regards to what the Bible says about sexual immorality. The Church today would do well to repent from embracing, following, or emulating postmodern pastors. Instead, they should
The reason I decided to make this blog post is this. Today I watched a video of a professing Christian telling anyone that does not agree with his public display of alcoholic consumption to more or less pound sand. That’s the inconsiderate selfish arrogance that we must push back on. I say this with love
Based on social media posts and conversations I’ve had with some; it is obvious that many are becoming faithlessly desperate for a better nation. And for most of them, their solutions are not Biblical, but rather are carnal, secular, political, and/or pragmatic. Consequently, I’m seeing a rapid increase of bringing nationalism into the church, and a
In July of this year, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at the 412 Church in Murrieta, California. That news gained my attention for two reasons. First, this church is located in my Inland Empire region, and I’ll tell you the second reason later. I watched the video of Greene’s speech, and I agree with most
