Music – The Golden Calf – Part 3

Let’s take a stroll down history lane. In 1951, a relatively small-time DJ by the name of Alan Freed was about to make history for himself. Observing the style of the new music that was sweeping across America and gaining popularity particularly with a restless youth population, Alan saw what the new style was doing. [...]

Music – The Golden Calf – Part 2

We now proceed to look at a biblical example to answer the question of whether God accepts any type or style or worship simply by my telling Him that this is for Him. Let’s see whether this mindset lines up with the Scriptures or whether churches today have built a golden calf to be [...]

Music – The Golden Calf – Part 1

During the early part of their trek through the wilderness towards the Promised Land, the Israelites at the foot of Mt. Sinai decided to follow the paths of the Egyptians.

Biblical Worship in Marriage – Part 2

I would like to continue my thoughts on worship in marriage with a few observations which I pray will be helpful.

The commonly accepted worldview is each party to the marriage gives due consideration to the [...]

The Impeccability of Christ – Conclusion

Based on some of the responses both in comments and emails, it is obvious this is a doctrine that is not taught much or is completely absent in evangelical churches today.  Yet, it should be taught.  If it was, there would be many who leave the false teachers they flock after as they realize the [...]

Biblical Worship in Marriage!

While it is my intention to write on “Worship in Music”, I believe it vital to share a few thoughts and concerns on the matter of worship in marriage. With all that is happening in so-called Christianity (like failing marriages of the leaders), it is my prayer that this will be an encouragement and an [...]

The Impeccability of Christ – Part 2

This is the second part of an excerpt taken from Studies in the Scriptures, September 1932, by A.W. Pink.  This doctrine of the Impeccability of Christ is vitally important to the Christian faith.  I encourage you to read this with an open Bible and a searching mind to know the truth of God’s Word.  The [...]
