My pages are loading very slowly. I am aware of that situation. I do not know for certain what is going on. Unfortunately, neither does my Internet Host. We have tried moving my site to a different server with little or no effect. They found some “stuck processes,” whatever those are, on the server and [...]

My Mother forwarded this joke to me. I had to share it. A preacher, who shall we say was “humor impaired,” attended a conference to help encourage and better equip pastors for their ministry. Among the presenters were many well-known and dynamic speakers. One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd’s attention, [...]

I found this while doing my research on my previous post. It is hardly professional, but is still funny. It is called the Federal Vision Rap. Much of the humor, other than the obvious body movement and style, relies on some inside knowledge of the Federal Vision “doctrines” and participants. I can give some explanation [...]

Is it just me, or is there a striking resemblance between the theologian John Piper and the character actor Austin Pendleton? To my eye, they could be brothers, if not twin brothers.

I have the option of transferring my website to another host (again!) or closing up shop myself. I have chosen the latter. I have pretty much shut down posting anyway, due to [...]

There are times when my daughter or son return from a Youth Group Meeting or Bible Study and I cringe thinking of the future for those who call themselves Christian.  They bring me back reports of rampant immorality among their peers and a general malaise or even abject disdain for any of the ethics or [...]

II have a brother-in-law who is probably almost perfect.  Just ask his sister, my wife.  According to her, he is living in the perfect state, weather-wise (Colorado).  Every time it gets dreary in Ohio (which is about 9 months of the year) she never fails to point out that fact to me.  I also pale [...]

Of what race was Jesus? In some ways, my last post revealed my answer to this question too early.  In other ways, it masked the answer with its piety. I noted that through the power of the Holy Spirit uniting the various peoples of the earth, the body of Christ is now made up of [...]
