The Thin Blue Line vs the Thin Theological Line Whenever a ‘professing’ Christian frequently and consistently talks more about his sin(s), that he was allegedly “set free” from, that is always a red flag to me. When they constantly say “I used to do this,” or “I used to do that;” there’s a good chance they
It was encouraging to watch this video of Ronnie and his team preaching at Santa Monica High School. As expected some of the students could care less, but others were very interested in hearing more. But sadly at the end (beginning at timestamp 28:20), you will see a female police officer approach Ronnie. The officer
Police Officer’s Death Investigations – a Theological Perspective Warning: This article is Rated ‘R’ for graphic content, viewer discretion is advised. In law enforcement, I investigated with corpus delicti in mind. Then, as a private investigator, building a case for habious corpus. But as a theologian, what matters more, is the knowledge and faith in His
Admittedly years ago I needed to repent from my patriotic view of the Scriptures, and so I say this with love and concern. Sadly within America I am seeing an ‘increasing trend’ of professing Christians acquiescing to the entitlement culture.

Rather than Hibbs be a strong under-shepherd, he engaged the congregation in a lot of emotionalism, and sensationalism. Their pastor even told his
A Biblical response to the hysteria of this 2016 Presidential election by Bill Rhetts A post to all professing Christians: An element of salvation is repentance, faith, and trust in the Lord, all of which the Lord gives vertically to those whom he saves (His church). That repentance, faith, and trust should become evident, as
Last night on television, during the vice presidential debate, Mike Pence publicly gave his testimony regarding his faith. He stated, “My Christian faith became real for me when I made a personal decision for Christ.” Bear in mind that the aforementioned ‘statement of faith’ was seen and heard by an estimated viewership of over 50,000,000 people
From Chaplain Bill, I’m just an ordinary sinner, saved and changed by an extraordinary Savior. What I’m about to share is not politically correct, but it is Biblically correct. Yesterday I received a personal message from a Facebook friend that I’ve personally known for a while now. For the record I’m all for Biblical instruction,
My brief election sermon that perhaps would be heard from the pulpits of our Nation centuries ago By Bill Rhetts This post applies to Christians only, and does not apply to non- Christians; nor should we expect this from them. One of the worst characteristics that the Lord Jesus refuted, resisted, and rebuked; was hypocrisy.
Now that the other candidates have stepped down from the presidential race, I will respectfully say this. I am not ashamed to be an ‘out of the closet’ conservative (a real one), and most importantly a born-again Christian. But sadly much of America does not understand what a true conservative is, nor do they understand
