This will be the last post on the Sabbath for the time being. It has been a fruitful discussion so far, and I appreciate all the feedback I received, but it is time to move on to different studies.
Today’s post will be a summary on my convictions, and why I believe Sabbath-breaking is still a […]

I’ve been on vacation this week (hence the inactivity here), visiting my family in Denver, CO, and I had an opportunity to do something that I’ve rarely had before: with no time-constraints or obligations, I entered a bookstore intent on spending the entire day browsing and reading books. Cup of coffee in hand, I was […]

Dead Churches: we’ve all been there before. Regardless of the doctrinal stance, size, location, affiliation, etc., most of us have experienced a ‘dead’ church or two in our lifetime. Some of us may have even had the unfortunate circumstance of actually being a member of a dead church. But what is a dead church, and […]

This is now part 3 in a short series concerning the 4th commandment and whether New Covenant Christians are obligated to ‘keep the Sabbath holy’. P1, P2.
As I have previously stated, I am troubled by how readily Christians now days dismiss this commandment engraved on stone as if it were patently obvious that it has […]

For my part, I study to speak as plainly and movingly as I can (and next to my study to speak truly, these are my chief studies), and yet I frequently meet with those that have been my hearers eight or ten years, who know not whether Christ be God or man, and wonder […]

In the introductory post to this topic last week (the Lord’s Supper), I asked the question of whether the command to ‘examine yourself’ was being accurately defined is many conservative churches now days. I also pointed out that many common teachings, such as ‘pass it on if you deem yourself unworthy’, or ‘examine your repentance […]

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body […]

This is the second post on the Regulative Principle of worship. The first one can be found here, as it simply provides a definition/foundation for a continued discussion on this matter.
When examining modern-day churches that have the Regulative Principle spelled out in their church doctrine, there are usually two interesting distinctions that we will discuss […]
