Welcome to SolaScripturaToday!
SolaScripturaToday is devoted to the exposition and defense of the Word of God: it is elegant, beautiful, the source of all authority and worthy of all praise.
Pro 1.7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Psa 138.2
I will bow down toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.
As the first text above tells us, there will be those who reject the authority of the Scripture; they are the fools of every age. It is, therefore, necessary to call out that which is contrary to the Word of God, items such as:
- unashamed and humanistic "interpretations" of the Word of God (at the expense of sound exposition);
- that which is commonly called conservative evangelical Christianity (because it frequently distorts the Word of God to suit its humanism);
- the false exercise of that which is called "fellowship" (at the expense of true "oneness of mind");
- theological frameworks of every kind, including Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism;
- eschatological frameworks of every kind, including (especially!) Amillennialism and Postmillennialism;
The purpose of my site is to expound Scripture, and thereby help you to identify the false doctrines and frameworks, persons, churches and sites to avoid. My goal, like the Apostle, is to:
Act 20.27
For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God.
I'm currently working on a series of future articles to rebut the eschatological train wreck known as Amillennialism (and to a lesser extent, Postmillennialism).
I have learned over the last 54 years that the Bible is not truly honored by those who claim to fear and revere the LORD's name and Word. Instead, where there should be sound, solid Bible exposition by men who have stood in the pulpit for 20+ years there is instead religious "fluff", a terrifying readiness to set aside sound doctrine for that which is actually contrary to Scripture, careless "exposition", a conflation of theology with humanism, sight and sound entertainment by talented bands with expensive audio and visual electronic equipment—all of which produce humanistic side-stepping around what the Scripture really teaches. Essentially anything is acceptable as long as it brings in contributors and/or makes people "feel good about themselves". A thoroughly fake "fellowship" has been created by people that is based on feelings and "getting along" on a Sunday morning (or Saturday night!).
The Lord Christ asked the question nearly 2000 years ago:
Luk 18.8
“However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
There is nearly nothing left that is truly biblical; as a result, true churches have nearly disappeared from America (in spite of the fact that they are located on nearly every corner). The preachers and pastors who occupy the pulpits in these so-called churches and have become the vanguard for America's steady moral decline and rejection of the LORD's authority. So, in answer to the Lord's question above, my reply is, "Yes, but just barely."
The Apostle Paul, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, warned us about what was to take place in the "last days":
2 Tim 3.1-5
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
This is the situation we now observe in nearly every "church" in America (aka., the Institutions of Theological Gaslighting). By design, the articles on my site are not light reading; they demand careful reflection. If you are not willing to spend the time and thought, then my site is definitely not for you; you probably should go elsewhere. However, it is my hope and prayer that as you read and consider the Bible exposition on this site, you'll come to the same conclusion that I have:
The 'Christian' church in America is in real trouble and bears essentially no resemblance to the pattern for the Body of Christ set forth in the Scripture.
The "church" has been in this miserable state nearly since its beginnings. Like the ancient church in Ephesus, the modern church also has "left [its] first love", the Lord Christ. (Rev 2.4) If it comes about that you become convinced of these things as I am, then it is my prayer that you will leave the dead "churches" you currently attend and instead take up the mantle of the true Word of God and seek out the biblical "oneness of mind" with other true believers as the LORD commands. We will always be the remnant—true, consistent, biblical Christianity will never be popular. Get used to being in the minority, shunned by those who consider themselves believers but have none of the fruit of true faith and certainly don't know the Scriptures. (Mat 7.20) This includes those who stand in the pulpit!
