Be Careful Who You Listen To
Don Johnson In discussing the interpretation of Psalm 44, my friend Mark Ward observes, “Psalm 44 doesn’t just express the nation’s feelings of frustration; it expresses their faith. They still instinctively reached out to Yahweh and not to other gods.” It strikes me that we can see this on display in Jeremiah 27 as well,…

George Stiekes Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But WE KNOW THAT THE LAW IS GOOD, if a man use it lawfully. I Timothy 1:7-8 The Ten commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament with the exception of keeping the Sabbath. Of course, Jesus…
Read MoreComments on Baptist Fundamentals – The Significance of the Ordinances
Don Johnson The installment from Baptist Fundamentals this week is one of the shortest pieces in the book, an exhortation on the ordinances: “The Significance of the Ordinances.” As such it is much more ‘blog-length’ and perhaps easier reading than some of the earlier pieces.

Frank M. Goodchild, D. D. Pastor, Central Baptist Church, New York City “I accept the Bible unmutilated.” That was part of the statement I made thirty-two years ago to the council that examined me for ordination.

Pastor Mike Harding1 Marriage is the first and most basic of all human institutions. Before governments, schools, and churches, God established the home, and all institutions issue from it.
