WARNING!!!

Before you continue reading, beware! If you are searching for a blog where the only subjects will be those that are popular, that is politically correct, where I will only preach to the choir, that steers clear of any controversy, that plays it safe, that does not "major on the minors", that does not beat dead horses, or that tickles ears, you have come to the WRONG place! If telling or practicing the truth from God's Word offends, then so be it!

Are you saying that this blog is one where you WILL "major on the minors" and you WILL "beat a dead horse?"

Yes, sir, that is absolutely correct.

For example, some consider wine/grape juice or KJV/modern translations minor issues, and should not be made tests of fellowship. The first involves the representation of Christ's pure blood, the second the Word of God. Therefore, they are not "minor". Determination of whether an issue is a minor one should not be determined by whether there is a unanimity or even a general consensus in the ABA.

As to dead horses, some would think that issues such as divorce/remarriage or boundaries of fellowship have been exhausted without resolution or would simply be "preaching to the choir". Again, these are very fundamental and timely issues. You would be surprised at those who are ignorant (btw, I simply mean without knowledge, and is not meant in a derogatory manner) concerning these things.

Thank you for asking.
