    Fundamentally Proud

                Fundamentalism is a worthy cause.  From its inception, it has endeavored to take a strong and clear stand on traditional Christianity.  Beale defines a true fundamentalist as, “one who desires to reach out in love and compassion to people, believes and defends the whole Bible as the absolute, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, and stands committed to the doctrine and practice of holiness.”[1] Fundamentalists take a literal approach to the Word of God.  They are careful not to read any personal bias or opinion into the Bible.  Recognizing that the heart is deceitful above all things, they understand [...]

    Rom 7:13 “Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.” I am struck by the callousness of the world today. The majority of people seem to think that the rules don’t apply to them. They are arrogant in the way they carry themselves, daring anybody, even God Himself to challenge their behavior.
