• A Dialogue Between a Traditional Text Advocate and a Critical Text Advocate -- “Vanquished by the Word Incarnate, Satan next directed his subtle malice against the Word written. Hence, as I think,—hence the extraordinary fate which befell certain early transcripts of the Gospel.”
• Biblical and Historical Studies for Roman Catholics -- “The true church teaches that the 66 books of the Bible were all ‘given by inspiration of God’ and are able to make the believer ‘perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works’ without any other authority, such as unwritten tradition.”
• Christ or Chords? The Manipulated Emotionalism of Hillsong, Asbury, and Pentecostalized Evangelical Worship -- “Unbridled emotion is actually a mark of spiritual immaturity, while true spiritual affections have more modest affects upon the body.”
• Doug Kutilek’s Incredible Errors: An examination of his article “Wilkinson’s Incredible Errors.” -- “Each quotation is allegedly an ‘incredible error’ made by Wilkinson or Fuller. Seven ‘incredible errors’ made by Fuller or Wilkinson are examined.”
• Edward Hiscox: A New England Pastor -- “If you could travel back to 1814, you probably wouldn’t notice a young pastor’s wife giving birth to a son who would grow up to be an important Baptist pastor in his generation, Edward Turston Hiscox.”
• Essay from Received Text Anthology Under Fire -- “At the center of this controversy is the claim that such divergent texts are not accidents of history, but intentional corruptions introduced to deceive well intentioned, God fearing Christians. This seems to be a major contention on this topic.”
• Hand Symbolism on Gravestones -- “Fingers pointing upward indicate that the departed has gone to heaven and beckons grieving loved ones to look up.”
• How the cops buy a “God view” of your location data -- “According to a recent investigation from Electronic Frontier Foundation and The Associated Press, a company called Fog Data Science has been gathering Americans’ location data and selling it exclusively to local law enforcement agencies in the United States.”
• KJV in the USA: The Impact of the King James Bible in the USA -- “The rise and fall of the King James Bible in America is, of course, part of the larger story of the rise and fall of the Bible in America. For the most part, the United States is a post-biblical country.” (Interesting, but also supports certain urban myths)
• Produce Better Readers, Not Easier Bibles -- “Hidden in the assumption that the average Christian cannot read the KJV is also the assumption that the average Christian is effectively reading at a lower level than a publicly educated high schooler. This, to me, is deeply concerning if it is true.”
• Social Media and Electronics: Addictive Drugs for Christians? -- “Physical substances are not the only drugs that are addictive and which turn your brain into putty and your conscience into a wreck—social media and electronic devices do as well.”
• Spirit Baptism: A Completed Historical Event; An Exposition and Defense of the Historic Baptist View of Spirit Baptism -- “Many conflicting views of Spirit baptism compete for adherents in the modern religious milieu. One prominent view, which will be referenced below as the post-conversion special power (PCP) view, affirms that the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which it avers continues to take place today, occurs after the point of conversion in the life of some, but not all, Christians.”
• TGC Co-Founder Tim Keller Dies at 72 -- “With great sadness we mourn the loss of Timothy Keller, 72, who died on May 19, more than three years after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.”
  
• The Textus Receptus’s Canonicity in Baptist Confessions -- “The church, as the depository of God’s words (1 Timothy 3:15), led by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13), recognized and received (John 17:8) the words of God as they were given her by Christ her Savior.”
• The Hypocrisy and Deceitfulness of the Chief Critical Text Attack on the Received Text of Scripture -- “Ross showed how that in over a hundred places a line of reading in the USB/NA has no (zero) manuscript evidence. White has one example. Ross had over a hundred.”
• Why Faithful Exiles Can Bow to the Golden Statue -- “It has recently come to our attention that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego have put forward the argument that any Israelite who bows down to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue has departed the faith and become apostate.”
