Church or Weekly Speech?

Posted on 04/03/2011 by Paul Pavao

Today, when we stopped for our lunch in the midst of our travels, I watched Dr. Drew on TV. The emphasis here is on “watch.” There was no sound. I was in a restaurant. It was apparent that Dr. Drew … Continue reading →

What Are the Implications of an Old Earth for Christians?

Posted on 02/09/2011 by Paul Pavao

I really love our God, and I believe he’s way stronger than our ideas. He can take care of us even while we enjoy searching out the truth. Those who seek find. He doesn’t give snakes to children who ask for eggs. Let us not be “ye of little faith,” but let us address him as Father and trust him as children. Continue reading →

Real Spiritual Battles

Posted on 01/01/2011 by Paul Pavao

I’m not going to get up a post every day in 2011, nor even one each day in January. It was fun pulling that off in December, but sometimes these posts take me a couple hours! Anyway, there was more … Continue reading →

Too Lazy to Reason, Part II

Posted on 12/28/2010 by Paul Pavao

So, if you get your tradition from a good source, a source that bears good fruit, then you’re okay. You don’t have to do all that research. You can let them do it for you, and you can trust them. Continue reading →

Polycarp, Anicetus, Popes, Tradition, the Passover, and Easter

Posted on 12/15/2010 by Paul Pavao

From great to small, Christians were known for their bravery. Not just men, but women and children scorned the punishment of Roman persecutors, passing judgment on their judges by their joy in facing death, and knowing that every drop of blood they shed was seed. “The more often you mow us down, the more of us there are,” they would boast.

Denominations and Going to Hell

Posted on 12/06/2010 by Paul Pavao

Sorry for the purposely shocking title. You can decide for yourself whether it’s accurate. I’m always surprised that no one ever talks about the fact that Galatians 5:19-21 says that those who "practice" denominations will not inherit the kingdom of … Continue reading →

Unity and the Protestant Church

Posted on 12/05/2010 by Paul Pavao

I said yesterday that Protestant denominations are not any different than the apostolic succession Rome is trying to enforce on us. Unity is not agreement upon doctrines held by an organization and enforced upon its members. Jesus said that our … Continue reading →

Unity and the Roman Catholic Church

Posted on 12/04/2010 by Paul Pavao

It seems bizarre to me that anyone would suggest in order to have unity, the Christians in Selmer, Tennessee … should … become members of the church in Rome, Italy. Continue reading →
