Just found this at Fox News' website. Just issuing a challenge to those who profess Christ yet don't believe that the Scriptures alone are sufficient and that we must "be relevant". If you ever find yourself in Thailand, maybe you should consider taking "relevance" to a whole new level??? Just another way to get your mystical spiritual trance...a new "spiritual discipline" perhaps??? I'll leave

Here's an excerpt from "Watchers Lamp": "In Christianity Today's Interview with Rick Warren, CT asks the following question regarding Warrens PEACE plan agenda: CT: There are more than 1 billion Roman Catholics and Orthodox believers. Where do they fit in? RW: We need to mobilize a billion Catholics and Orthodox [believers]. I'm not really that interested in interfaith dialogue. I am

Listen, about the only channel I watch is FoxNews and that is when I'm visiting my mother's house. But even I have heard about "Religulous". It's being advertised left and right, even on FoxNews. In the movie, Bill Mahr wants to make fun of all religion. Of course this includes an attempt to "debunk" Christianity. The clips I've seen show attempts that are both weak and stupid. But Bill Mahr's

Yes, it's been quiet around here on the blog for a few days. Lots of personal and professional stuff going on. Just got back from a funeral today. My wife's uncle died a little over a week ago and the week progressed more slowly than usual. Visitation last evening and the funeral today. My wife is doing well but she is understandably grieved. Her uncle was a nice guy to be around. Very friendly

You should see this movie! Here's an excerpt from his recent post: "We gave it two thumbs up. The film was made by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA—the same church that made "Facing the Giants." I'm sure a lot of secular reviewers will complain that "Fireproof" is too preachy, because the gospel is at the heart of the story, and it's not slipped in there subtly or couched in euphemisms.

Found this over at LifeSiteNews.com. I place this post because of the importance of the abortion issue. Regardless of whatever else Barack Obama stands for, his stand on abortion is totally contrary to anything I can vote for. By the way, there is a link to the video at the article at LifeSiteNews.com. While I do not agree with Obama's view on economics, I don't post on such here. However, the

From TeamPyro: "Here are a couple of items that have been in my "maybe you want to comment on this" file since last December. One is an article about Zondervan's "Bible Bunker," where publishing executives find ways to trick out the Bible and boost its market appeal.

From "Grace To You": "As long as it takes to cover the passage adequately! I do not think the length of the sermon is as important as its content. At times I have preached fifty minutes and it has been ten minutes too long. Other times, I have preached an hour and twenty-five minutes and it has been just right.

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48 "Our Lord's exhortation in these verses is to be generous in our behaviour to all men. In the spiritual life beware of walking according to natural affinities. Everyone has natural affinities; some people we like and others we do not like. We must never let those likes and dislikes rule in our Christian life. "If

"There is a powerful ad put out by a pro-life group called Born Alive Truth which features Gianna Jesson, who survived a saline abortion. The ad takes on Barack Obama for his opposition to Illinois' Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which was brought up to stop IL hospitals from leaving babies who actually survived their attempted abortions and were allowed to die.

For the proponents of man-caused global warming, I'm sure it never seems to end: "I recently came across a research report written by Don J. Easterbrook, a Professor of Geology at Western Washington University that explains his theory of global cooling, which he says began in 2002, was interupted by the El-Nino of 2005, and will continue, by his projections until 2040.

Ok. It's come to this. I have to put this out as an issue. I think it is that important. There has been talk about Ray Comfort's speaking at conferences which includes "Word of Faith" leaders. Then there is Ravi Zacharias who is now becoming involved with Robert Schuller at "ReThink". But the issue I'm addressing here has become intensely personal. Here it is as follows: It is no secret that

We've all heard lots of jokes about Vegans and radical vegetarians. I haven't spread any of them, but here's a study covered by the Times of India about a study in Melbourne which reveals that a diet which is completely meatless may indeed be bad for you. If true, this wouldn't be surprising. Remember, God created us as vegetarians but after the fall stipulated that meats were also included in

If you're like me, you may well be frustrated over the lack of depth you hear from pulpits today. As I posted some time ago, my wife and I have renewed our search for a good church. It can be very frustrating, especially in a town of 35,000 such as ours. There is an absolute lack of good expository preaching. Everything kept very shallow. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds but

I'd like to thank Christian Worldview Network for picking up my previous post on the Obama lip slip. While I wasn't originally planning on commenting on the incident, I think I need to address a larger issue that surrounds this whole "I'm a Christian" claim by Obama or anyone else for that matter. The issue I'm speaking of has to do with the watering down of the meaning of "Christian". If you

I knew it was coming. Mom has been emptying out her home of all the extra things that are there since my dad died two years ago this coming November. Giving away old books of his that I remember even from childhood. I helped her take some of them to the library for donation. . .after I sorted a few out of course. But she's also suggesting that I take home a little of this and a little of that.

"Rivers of living water." John 7:38 A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus says if we have received of His fulness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the outflow - "This is the work of God that ye believe. . . ." God rarely allows a soul to

It was last December that I started a discussion of Biblical Hermeneutics. It was written to meet a perceived need in view of the popularism of "the dialectic method". And you can read that first post here. In that post, I began to list the general principles of hermeneutics. Two months after that, I posted part one of this series on Biblical Hermeneutics. In it I discussed the first of the four

How many times it has been that I've heard someone claim "I used to be a Christian, but I don't believe that any more." They have become agnostics, atheists and pagans. Conversing with them has become an apparent lost cause. At one time they bought the false gospel of modern "evangelicalism", walked an isle, maybe been baptized and been told that their conversion rested on a prayer they prayed.
