Ken Myers calls the “Music Comparison Chart” idea (“if you like artist ‘A’ in secular music, then there’s a good chance you’ll like some of the music of ‘B’ in Christian music”) “striving to conform to the world.”
It’s refreshing to see a non-partisan like Myers say something like this, something so apparent and yet so much denied, even derided.
I’m done addressing KJV-Onlyism at the popular level on December 31, 2024 (with a few little exceptions I mention in my wrap-up video), so I’m clearing out my files—and posting a few scripts that never made it to the channel. I get letters like the one below on a...

I just broke my two-year silence regarding Confessional Bibliology with a big video on my channel that you don’t want to miss—a discussion with Drs. John Meade and Will Ross about the recent Reformation Bible Society LXX Conference. I think I need to explain why I’m...
A dear friend of mine recently asked me if complementarianism is used to justify sin. I gave this quick answer: Yes. Just as I think egalitarianism can be used to justify sin, including sexual sin. For example, the guy who really thinks his secretary is hot and knows...

I understand something of the biblical requirement that we be separated from a Temple of Idols. But when I read 1 Cor. 5:10, I wonder if our separation is *not* to be _Associational_ (don’t do the general cultural stuff that unbelievers do, often stylistic stuff) but rather _Ethical_ (keep God’s Moral Law). If we should be Ethical Separatists rather than Associational Separatists, while I see Myers’ point as a matter of regret (Why aren’t we the cultural leaders?), I don’t see it as necessary error. On the other hand, if we are especially supposed to be Associational Separatists, then I would see your point.
What do you think?
