Part 1 In the previous post I concentrated on men in England who helped me learn about the Bible and Theology. Quite unexpectedly, in God’s providence I came to the States in 1996 to work at a Baptist Church in Fairfield, California. That only lasted a year but I made some good friends. I also met the future Mrs H. there! Anyway, after leaving the church in Fairfield I started a church plant in Napa, which I pastored for over five years …

What with pastoring a church, teaching a weekly theology course at another church, dealing with the joys of a new baby girl, and working on the new house I am finding myself with too little time on me hands. One of the things that is having to “give” is my beloved Telos Ministries. The present website needs an overhaul and the newsletters aren’t getting our as they should. Well, that’s life! To keep something going I have been releasing some …
My readers know that I don’t go in for autobiographical writing at my blog. But here is a brief note about my celebration of God’s living providence. Perhaps it will encourage one or two of you? The beginning of September 2016 finds me fuzzy headed with limbs aching after moving to our new home, only four miles away from our old one. The new place has three bedrooms with space for a fourth and plenty of yard. The old house …
Some of you know that I am a reluctant dispensationalist. In writing this (actually re-writing it) I thought it appropriate to use my moniker as a title. Dispensationalists have not always done themselves many favors. They have sometimes squandered the opportunity to make profound long term contributions to the Church through the publishing of detailed commentaries, biblical and systematic theologies and the like, for the sake of short term pragmatic and populist goals. Bestsellers seldom influence the direction of …
I wanted to write a ‘Facing the New Year’ post to focus myself on the main things, but I came across this piece by Dr. David Allen which I don’t think I could improve upon. Hope it blesses you. Happy New Year! Two things are important when you take a trip: transportation and discrimination. You must know how you are going to get there and you must determine what to take with you. If you want to ruin your …

I thought I’d do something different for a change. I seldom write anything about myself on this blog, but I had the idea of putting down a few words about the men who trained me and to whom, to one degree or another, I owe a debt. None of them is responsible for how I turned out. The monster was self-made. But I want to introduce you to these men: The first man is David N. Myers M.Min., a knowledgeable …

Here is a very informative link to what the justices of the Supreme Court have said, pro and con, about their 5 to 4 decision to legalize Gay Marriage. http://erlc.com/article/50-key-quotes-from-the-supreme-courts-same-sex-marriage-ruling The kind of “reasoning” employed by Justice Kennedy et al could and will be employed by pedophiles, polymorists, and even those who want to marry their dog. This is what godless law looks like. …
For those readers wandering why I haven’t posted for a while let me explain. 1. My sister is in town and we haven’t seen each other for 13 years. 2. I have just finished doing a conference. 3. I will be attending the Moody conference coming up. I ask for patience and prayers! Your brother, Paul …
