True Conservative Pundit

By Jack Hibbs Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”   The bed of Arizona’s Paria River is notorious for its quicksand base, the result of flashfloods depositing silt…

Nero, as mentioned in one of our recent blogs, was the emperor of the Roman Empire and was responsible for a highly decentralized system of authority. Nero eventually killed himself. He was born on December 15th, 37 AD, and committed suicide on June 9th, 68 AD.  He became famous for the burning of Rome and for blaming and persecuting all the Christians, including Paul and Peter, two of the most…

By Jack Hibbs Revelation 1:17-18 “And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.’”   How vast is our Jesus… the Jesus of Christianity, the Jesus of the Bible, the Jesus who is the Son of God! He is altogether The Infinite. We…

By Adrian Rogers “Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: ‘You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may be an…

By Adrian Rogers “And He [the Angel of the Lord] said, ‘Let Me go, for the day breaks.’ But he [Jacob] said, ‘I will not let You go unless You bless me!’” Genesis 32:26 Have you ever watched wrestlers? My eldest son was a wrestler. I have two grandsons who are wrestlers. Do you know what muscle is most important to a wrestler? His thighs. His legs. That’s where his strength is. If you take away…

By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   How well do you think you know the Judeo-Christian roots of our nation? About 25 years ago, for the first time, I met author/speaker William J. (Bill) Federer, who knows them very well. I have interviewed him multiple times since. Bill is the author of the classic book, America’s God and Country, which contains quotes from the settlers and founders of America, documenting…

We can learn a lesson from a fig tree.  When I was a little bloke years ago, we lived at a place called Hamilton in New South Wales, Australia. Near where we lived, there was Gregson Park, and all around its borders were huge fig trees. They were everywhere. Dropping their leaves and figs all the time. We all had fun as kids, chucking figs at our friends and sticking them down the backs of…

By Adrian Rogers “When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, ‘Bless me—me also, O my father!’ But he said, ‘Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.’” Genesis 27:34-35 Isaac’s family was dysfunctional. There was favoritism. There were two brothers that hated one another. There was a dad who was caught…

By Adrian Rogers “And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.” Genesis 25:34 The birthright was a special blessing that belonged to the firstborn son. It linked everything in Isaac’s family to the blessing God had given to Abraham. God gave a blessing to Abraham. Abraham gave the blessing to Isaac. Isaac was to…

By Greg Holt There are two views on this, and obviously, one is based on complementarianism, and the other on egalitarianism. Complementarianism, in short, is the belief that – in the home, men are the spiritual leaders, loving their wives as Christ loved and gave Himself for the Church, and nurturing their children.  The woman willingly submits to the headship of the husband, loves and respects…

By Adrian Rogers “Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.’” Genesis 22:4-5 Abraham and Isaac came to a point beyond which the others couldn’t go. The others were told to stay back while father and son went to commune together.…

By Jack Hibbs 1 Corinthians 2:4 “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.”   The apostle Paul was a speaker par excellence, schooled by the finest scholars the world could offer. He could out-talk the best with the fewest words possible and leave them dizzy. Yet Paul understood that the kingdom of our God is…

Weddings are amazing – well, I feel they are.  I know some are different. I remember ours; it was quite the day. Some are full of good thoughts and lots of great memories. Some are full of terrible mistakes and lots of heartaches. There was one a while ago here where a whole bunch of guests were departing the wedding after the bride and groom had left. They had all had a great time, and they had…

By Jack Hibbs John 8:36 “Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”   It has been said that freedom is the longing of every human heart. When President George W. Bush assembled a coalition and made plans to liberate Iraq in order to bring freedom to its people, he made this assumption: give those who have ruled by tyranny a chance to be free and they will take it. But as the…

By Adrian Rogers “Concluding that God was able to raise him [Isaac] up, even from the dead, from which he [Abraham] also received him in a figurative sense.” Hebrews 11:19 Abraham took Isaac and started up Mount Moriah to offer his son. How was he able to do that? Hebrews 11:19 says he was “concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a…

By Adrian Rogers “For he [Abraham] waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Hebrews 11:10 Abraham had a pilgrim character. Now, that doesn’t mean he was a dropout. Abraham was in business. He had a family. He taught. He even had to go to war several times. But Abraham was not molded by this world. Read More

Ever read the Bible? I know I have, and it can be very sobering in that it can leave us really thinking about what it really means. When Jesus walked the earth here, and just five days before he was so mercilessly killed, he told a pretty cold and calculating parable or story to the masses, and also pretty much aimed at the Pharisees, who were so ready to get him out of the way so that they could…
