Despising a Holy God
Thursday, January 20th, 2011Sharing from Psalm 51, Art maintains that until we know our every sin as being a sin against God, we do not know the essence of the evil of sin; it has not registered in our spirit and on our consciousness.
The Christian Mindset (5 of 5)
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011Spoken in 1984 from Acts 17, Art maintains that the church should not allow the world to go on with the understanding that the secular and the sacred are separate and legitimate distinctions, for to do so is to honor them in a lie that God never intended.

Cautionary Thoughts on the Revival Phenomena
Friday, December 17th, 2010I venture out with some trepidation to raise some questions about a “revival” phenomenon that is already perplexing many. Unlike such previous moves of God as the Welsh Revival, noted from its inception for its unmistakably holy character, the present revival generates mixed reports from unequivocal enthusiasm to those that are dubious, critical and utterly rejecting. Some suggest there is more than one stream with a fleshly counterfeit paralleling the God-given and authentic. Via video tape of the principal and evidently original stream, I have been able to observe things that I find entirely repugnant. Ministers of the word were ostensibly so drunk in the spirit that they were unable to be coherent, railing finally into a collapse from their stupor. I found this entirely unbecoming to the dignity of their professed call, and felt the preached word to he denigrated by joking references to the feeble results obtained by it in comparison to the results procured now by the experiences of the “power” to which they were testifying. In watching some helplessly convulsing in laughter, I sensed that they had been gripped by something beyond their control and was actually causing them a physical pain? Can those manifestations be described as “holy”? On the contrary, they appeared to be irreverent if not indeed demonic and hellish.

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010Drawing on theologian Karl Barth’s exegesis of Psalm 24, Art examines the characteristics of the person God distinguishes as being the one who will ascend His holy hill.
The Knowledge of the Holy
Friday, October 29th, 2010Art urges us not to be satisfied with our present knowledge of God, especially if our sense of God does not evoke in us an awe, reverence, devotion and adoration toward Him.

Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God” (Ps. 87:1-3). If He loves the gates of Zion, what ought our attitude to be? If we have difficulties in identifying what […]
In the Year of King Uzziah’s Death
