Christian Issues
I voted for George Bush and have supported many of his positions; however, recently I realized that if I were his pastor, I would have no choice but to confront his heresy and unchristian living, request his repentance and if he refused, have him voted out of our membership!
Must Church Leaders Always Obey the Law?
Government is about control, and officials cannot abide ordinary citizens telling them, “No, I won’t obey that law.” According to Francis Schaffer, if you affirm that government must be obeyed under all circumstances then you have made government your god and you are a slave. It amounts to state worship.

Did Trinity Baptist Leadership Cover-up the Bob Gray Mess?
According to my informants, rumors regarding Gray have been circulating for many years. It’s been reported to me that several Baptist leaders took the position that the rumors were “all lies.” I have enormous respect for those men but how do they know “it was all lies.”?

A Christians Unconventional View of Terror
I am not a hand-wringing, soft-spoken, lips-pursing pacifist! I believe in personal and national self-defense. But I have an unconventional view of terrorism.

Catholic Bishop More Principled than Baptist Pastors!
It is past time to revive that discarded, disabused practice of church discipline and use it against erring laymen and pastors. If not, how can we call ourselves “Bible believing," Bible practicing Baptists?

Why Would a Baptist Church Hire an Accused Child Molester as a Counselor? Part 2
I have observed a “cover-up” mentality in many large Baptist churches that seems to be systemic. They emphasize the inerrancy of the Bible but are very weak on implementing Biblical procedures of church discipline. Why boast about preaching the very Word of God if it is not practiced in personal lives and in church procedures?

Rise and Fall of Southwide Baptist Fellowship!
The music became louder and more contemporary and “progressive” pastors began to dominate the platform. Southern Baptist preachers became more numerous until some of us thought they were equal partners in the deal. They never were.

Are Trinity Leaders Dumb as a Box of Rocks or Spiritually Sensitive as a Stump?
Numerous questions were raised by various people over the years but “the king could do no wrong.” It was sacrilegious to even suggest that impropriety was taking place. “After all, look how God is blessing.” One Gray supporter even told me of him preaching then lying on the platform weeping for people to trust Christ. Could such a man molest little girls? Well, if I had been French kissing little girls for decades, I would be lying on the floor weeping as well.

Fundamentalists Must Face Child Abuse by Pastors!
I wept as I saw the photographs of Dr. Bob Gray led away in handcuffs. Dr. Gray, thought of as one of America’s greatest preachers and church builders, was arrested for molestation of little girls under his jurisdiction.

Reformation Leaders Tortured and Killed Dissidents!
If we focus only on Roman Catholic persecution of Christians without admitting that most reformation leaders did unspeakable things to their enemies, it is dishonest. As soon as the Reformers had the power to persecute they did! Tit for tat.

Sexual Predators in Pulpits: It’s Time for Baptists to Act Like Baptists!
This present generation abhors all confrontations and considers those who try to be true to Scripture as being “judgmental,” “unkind,” “pugnacious,” “unloving,”

What’s Going on in the Churches?
One night a group sang the theme from the “Lord of the Rings” but not one Scriptural song! Each night there was an hour and half of music, some was good, some bad. Everyone seemed to have a “good time.” But is that why they were there?

Should Government Have Access To Church Records?
I'd rather see a religious criminal go free than see the Church of the Living God ravished by secular authorities.
