Wow, looks like Power to Change, along with the Christian & Missionary Alliance (last May here), has really taken a liking to Erwin McManus and his plans to awaken humanity. Click here to see how much:http://powertochange.com/crave/erwinmcmanus/They are also promoting all his books and things (videos, website, resources, etc.) on their website now. Have they stopped relying on the power of God to

Not another one! Another battle, another Bible version...~ ~ ~The battle for truth in Bible translationAssociated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The Gospel of Luke records that, as he was dying on the cross, Jesus showed his boundless mercy by praying for his killers this way: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."Not so fast, say contributors to the Conservative Bible Project.

Here's one for that certain someone who likes to read their Bible in jungles, rainforests, and swamps...or here in beautiful rainy British Columbia. Amazingly, it's completely waterproof, can be written in with a ballpoint pen or a dry highlighter, and it's KJV ( New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs - the only thing missing is the the other half of the Bible).Saw it here at The Berean Call and

This is a very good article from Moriel Ministries that speaks to the current 'common ground' issues of the day...There is a unity that glorifies God. There is a diversity that glorifies God. There is a division that glorifies God. God is clear on what unity, diversity and division is acceptable to Him and brings glory to Him. The Bible reveals that in the Last Days there will be a one world

I'm sure they have their reasons, but I'm not so sure that some of these leaders should have signed this thing...especially after seeing all the contemplative books and things being promoted by this ecumenical group.

An amazing truth...Not the Book of the Month, the Book of the AgesThe Bible is not the book of the month. It is the book of the ages.No book has ever had as much opposition as the Bible. Men have laughed at it, scorned it, ridiculed it, burned it, and made laws against it. Many a man has preached the funeral for the Bible. The only problem is that the corpse has outlived the pallbearers.The Bible

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8Some days I forget, as we so often do when things get back to normal. We may have at one time taken for granted what is the most precious gift to us...how often we learn that the hard way. But God, who has a miraculous way of taking back what the enemy has intended for evil, refreshes our

Okay folks. I have blogged all that was simmering on the back burner, and now this blogger must take a time out for some family things. In the meantime, ya'll will just have to find your own books and things to read. :)

A strange thing is happening across the land of Christendom, something more far reaching and damaging in the long term than any flu. It's a new spiritual phenomena that begins when an evangelical pastor starts to re-examine the sacrificial atonement of the Cross and entertain 'alternative' theories. This very act of doubt and questioning soon morphs into a belief that truth is found only in the

What a thing to say..."The phrase “the Second Coming of Christ” never actually appears in the Bible. Whether or not the doctrine to which the phrase refers deserves re-thinking, a popular abuse of it certainly needs to be named and rejected. If we believe that Jesus came in peace the first time, but that wasn’t his “real” and decisive coming - it was just a kind of warm-up for the real thing -

In Chapter 5 of Peter Scazzero’s book The Emotionally Healthy Church called Look Beneath the Surface, we read a quote from Dag Hammarskjold (p. 73):"The late Dag Hammarskjold, once the secretary general of the United Nations, suggested that we have become adept at exploring outer space, but we have not developed similar skills in exploring our own personal inner spaces.

This was a question someone asked me last week:What happens to a church congregation that gets involved in practising contemplative prayer and meditation?My over simplified answer was somewhere along the lines that the ones who stay in such a church where these practises are being introduced will soon become very different people than they used to be, because God will give them over to the error

Kudos to 100 Huntley Street who has removed the Rob Bell November 18th interview from their website. Who says blogging does not pay? Not that I am taking credit for it, on the contrary, all it takes is one discerning influential person to to know the truth, and apparently someone over at 100 Huntley is truth loving, God fearing, and brave enough to take it down. It was a most unfortunate thing

I get a lot of e-mail and questions every week, and it never fails to shock me to hear about the next main stream evangelical church or Bible school that is now introducing Roman Catholic practices and contemplative spiritual formation. Funny thing I notice from my e-mails, it always starts with books. It may sound simplistic, but typically, the pastor or Christian leader might get a few of these
