Last week I wrote a little bit about the way Biblical covenant communities work. The heads make an agreement with God and everyone in his group, from then on, abides by that agreement. This happens for those who have no idea what is going on as much as for those who know exactly what is […]
I was thinking about the movie Braveheart the other day and specifically about the scene where the armies are lined up against each other getting ready to get to it. All of a sudden it occurred to me that I had always thought of myself as being one of the guys in the front row, […]
This is a quick update. I still look to the hills for my help. Nothing new there. When I received the news about my cancer not showing up on the PET scan the nurse who shared that news wasn’t as excited about the information as I thought she should have been. So, last week I […]
One of the great blessings I’ve had in my life is to watch, from a pretty close vantage point, the way God uses generations to spread his Gospel. I met Doug Wilson around 1973 or 74. We were stationed on the same submarine and in the same division. While we were together Doug talked about […]
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2) This has been one of my favorite passages ever since I first heard it in a song back when I was in the Navy, in the 70s. I heard the […]

I was reading a young lady’s post about why she is no longer a Christian, and this was one of her reasons, “There many other books that could have been in the canon – and in some cases, were in the canon but got removed later.” Here’s what I think about that. What this person […]
These are notes of a talk I gave at a conference in February 2022. The talk was filmed by Canon Press and when I find out where that can be viewed, I’ll put a link to it. Because these are notes, you should know that there is a lot of information, not here. If you […]
This morning I ran across an article by Dr. Bart Ehrman called Inside the Conversion Tactics of the Early Christian Church.” I’m not sure what his point was, or reason for writing, but because Dr. Ehrman is such a popular figure in some circles, and this article is so easy to pick apart, I thought I’d give […]
