The Regulative Principle of the Church, Sam Waldron

A Careful Baptist Statement of the Regulative Principle of Worship and its Practical Outworking Note: The fact that this is a well-written statement does not constitute an endorsement of Calvinism or of any type of church other than an unaffiliated and separatist Baptist congregation.

The True Meaning of Easter, Greg Wilson Note: While Wilson makes good points, neither his TULIP theology nor his Wednesday crucifixion view (cf. Luke 24:21) are Scriptural.

The Regulative Principle of Worship and Christmas, Brian Schwertley Warning:  Schwertley is a Presbyterian who is for exclusive psalmody and against instrumental music, positions not mandated in Scripture.  Also, the Lord’s Day is not the Christian Sabbath, contra Schwertley.  Furthermore, churches have the liberty to meet on any day of the year and to preach on any Biblical topic on any day of the year, so they can preach on the incarnation on December 25.  With these important caveats, Schwertley’s article makes many points well worthy of consideration.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (going to a secular college rather than a Biblical and Christian one is extremely dangerous, but if one is determined to do this very dangerous thing, the FIRE organization provides ratings that illustrate how likely Biblical speech or anything that dissents from socialist radicalism is probably going to be tolerated.  The guide here also provides helpful information.)

Useful Sources for News

Fundamental Baptist Information Service, by David Cloud.  Useful daily articles on the modern religious scene and on Biblical theological topics.  Most articles are not about politics.  About 99% of them are Scriptural, accurate, and reliable. (Subscribe to this newsletter on the webpage here.)

Washington Update, by Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. (Subscribe to this newsletter on the webpage here.)  A useful daily news source with valuable and reliable information, although it defines “Christian” in a very broad way that would include any religious organization that claims the term, even those with terrible false gospels.  (See a Biblical analysis of various false “Christian” gospels by clicking here.)

The Federalist  A useful news source from a conservative, constitutionalist perspective.

There are many other valuable sources of news and information.  I wish I could, for example, recommend the Patriot Post, for it has reliable, quality news articles.  However, it will occasionally print h-ll and d–n as curse words and take God’s holy name in vain.  The National Review also has good articles, but with even more frequency it will do the same wicked thing.  There are also news sources such as WorldNetDaily that should not be recommended because of their sensationalism, salesmanship, and too-often inaccurate content.
