Is This Election a Crossroads for the Church?

The political situation today in America has completely captured the attention of citizens who are at all aware of what is happening around us. The political issue that will ultimately determine our future as a free republic or a Venezuela-style, cultural Marxist, Socialist nation, is this: at such a crucial crossroads in time, which fork will the organized, traditional church take its people? Yes, I believe the church holds the key to our nation’s future.  I believe two forks are clear: Fork #1. “We…

Where Will We Go From Here?

As the recent election has unfolded, and the evidence for massive election fraud has continued to pile up, it has become obvious that the powers-that-be, Republican as well as Democrat, want nothing to do with truly investigating the situation. “We gave it our best shot and it’s time to move on” (read: ‘Now that we have gotten rid of Trump, let’s forget this unpleasant, four-year nightmare and get back to business as usual in the Swamp.”) I listened to Rush Limbaugh this morning playing…

What is My Next Step in My Journey to the City?

As I was thinking about writing this blog posting a few days ago, I was reminiscing over the 62 years since Jesus Christ first began to open my eyes to His desire to capture my heart. In my spiritual autobiography, Waiting for the City, I chronicle that journey.  What a trip! There have been at least 10 campsites where I pitched my tent along the way, thinking each time I had arrived at the City, the final answer to life. But at each site,…

Does Our Nation’s Future Ride on Your Vote Today?

It does only if God, Himself, is waiting to see who our electoral system favors to determine our President for the next four years. The Bible is clear about that. He is not dependent on us for anything: “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases” (Psalm 115:3). That means that God Himself “… removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding” (Daniel 2:21).  So, we can know for sure…

The Election is Finally Upon Us

The day the Democrats have been eagerly anticipating for four years is finally upon us. In two weeks they have the opportunity to bring America out from under the oppressive, fascistic, narcissistic, leadership of the bad, incompetent “Orange Man,” Donald J. Trump. They are rallying around a stalwart, charismatic, dynamic candidate to lead them to victory, Joe Biden. He brings a new vision of free abortion, free health care, free education and free baby-sitting for us, and even for our children! He promises to…

Where Does the Buck Stop in the Church? –

Some time ago, the pastor of a large, metropolitan church called and invited me to breakfast. As we talked, I learned that there was a large group in his church who were experiencing some difficulties with his leadership. He was a strong leader, and his church followed the episcopal church model that has one man as the ultimate decision-maker in the church ministry.  We had been friends for a number of years and had discussed the question of church government previously, always amicably agreeing…

The Sleeping Giant Church—an Atomic Bomb

Last week we discussed the differing opinions of John McArthur and Andy Stanley on whether the church should continue to meet, in view of the state’s mandate that they remain closed. We saw that In both cases, their churches fail in following all the biblical parameters of how a church meets. We saw that the Bible teaches that they are to be: 1.) a church that is visible, attendable and available; 2.) a church with intimately related members; 3.) a church where all participate…

Do We Obey the State and Close the Church?

Every church in America faces this dilemma. What do we do when the state tells us to close up shop and meet out of doors or online only? There are two famous pastors who are vividly demonstrating the two obvious options. John McArthur in California says, “We will obey God and continue to meet just as God has commanded us. We must obey God rather than man.”  He is doing so with a congregation of thousands, continuing to meet every Sunday morning. Andy Stanley…

The One Thing I Can Do

I have recently spent some time with a good friend of mine with whom I went to church some years ago. He grew up in the Catholic Church, and, as a young man, was seriously in pursuit of God, even briefly going to seminary to become a priest. He eventually found a vital, living relationship with Jesus, married an evangelical girl, and they have spent the last 35 years as very committed, church-going believers, raising five wonderful children who are now all adults.  As…

Why is Simply Following God’s Directions So Hard to Do?

It is difficult to come up with an answer to that question. It is amazing how consistent we are. Left to our own devices, we invariably think we have a better idea of how to live than the detailed instructions our Father left for us in the Bible. He told us, in great detail, how families function, how the church meets and is organized, and the task and limits of our civil government. Why is it so hard to just do what Daddy says!…

“Robert’s Blog” is a forum to investigate and then discuss the significance of both God’s law and God’s grace (the gospel). Who are these two fraternal twins, how do they relate to one another and how do they then work together to accomplish God’s ultimate intention for my life and in His world? All comers jump in; the water’s fine.
