Ecumenical Document on Justification is Obfuscation

Ingrid over at Slice of Laodicea had an article recently on the Joint Declaration document signed between the United Methodist Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Ingrid calls it the “anti-reformation,” and I have to agree with her. Does anyone in either church understand the doctrine of Justification? Is unity to be worshiped over [...]

Ecclesiastes 7:28: Who is the wiser sex?

I was once told by a friend, that someone they were talking with had accussed the Bible of teaching in Ecclesiastes 7:28 that men are the wise sex and that women are unwise:

“while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman among them all.”

By posting the [...]

More emergent nightmares as the church becomes the world!

Folks, why is it that churches today can’t seem to realize that in order to reach the harlot with the gospel, we don’t need to set up a brothel in the church?
This is a clear example when you open your heart too much, feelings take precedence over wisdom, when you open your mind too much, [...]

Church marquee messages: “Fight Truth Decay, Study The Bible Daily”

I like church marquees. They often tell a lot about a church, good or bad. Sometimes in an effort to be pithy, church marquee writers leave a lot to be desired in the truth department, or even expose readers to erroneous theology.
I saw this marquee at a local church, and not only is it a [...]

The Tragedy of the Religious Left – Worshipping the Goddess of Tolerance

Chuck Colson had an excellent article yesterday on the “fruit” of ‘tolerance’ for the sake of tolerance, and what happens when ‘tolerance’ trumpts truth. No comment is necessary.
What do you get when you hold a conference with 1,200 people who are all afraid of offending one another? I’ll tell you what you don’t get. You [...]

PCUSA Panel says ‘apostasy’ cannot be reversed

Many PCUSA church members are themselves no longer defending the actions of their denominationand are coming to the realization that like the UCC and Episcopal churches, the PCUSA is jumping headlong into apostasy. Please pray for these PCUSA members who are struggling very much with important decisions of whether to stay or go. I know, [...]

REV. C.H. SPURGEON – “On Repentance”

“If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready.” —Psalm 7:12.
How many of us are like men who see their faces in a mirror, and then walk away and forget what we look like! Yes! My friends, it is not your promise of repentance that can [...]

NANC Biblical Counseling & Discipleship Training

Last fall I went to NANC’s Biblical Counseling Training. If you have ever desired to help someone overcome any of life’s issues using the Scriptures, the only thing that is sufficient for all of life’s issues, I can’t emphasize this training enough. It will be the best money you have ever spent, as you are [...]

Persecution of Christians on the Rise

Remember, Joel Osteen says the Christian life is suppose to be about living “your best life now.” Sorry, that’s a lie!”All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” Mark 13:13
DRESDEN (ANS) — The number of persecuted Christians is on the rise worldwide, according [...]

On Being Reformed

Doug VanderMeulen writes on his blog about “On Being Reformed” where he asks some important questions like:
“What does it mean to be Reformed”?
Can we love being named among the protestant/reformed tradition while living as if the Reformation never happened?
There are those who identify themselves as Calvinists who worship like Arminians and evangelize like Arminians. [...]

The Family that Fil-A’s Together…

…stays together. Or, at least that’s the hope of S. Truett Cathy, founder of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain. Cathy has implemented family-friendly policies for the 600 employees at his Atlanta-based company. Mr. and Mrs. Cathy themselves have been blessed by a 57-year marriage, an inspiration for some of the pro-marriage seminars [...]

“Peaceful” religions or knowing God?

Many times, when witnessing and sharing the gospel with unbelievers, the objection is raised of how “religion” has started more wars and killed more people than other organizations. The obviously intended conclusion of this objection is that “religion” isn’t good. In a sense, but not as the objectors intend, I agree.
“Religion” isn’t good!
“Religion,” is man’s [...]

What comes out of you when you get bumped?

I poured myself a cup of water as I began to speak to the young teens. Purposefully I filled it too full, almost to the brim of the cup, and then I asked for a volunteer from the audience. A young lady near the front raised her hand, so I asked her to come up [...]

Did the media do “a hack job,” or did the PCUSA hack the truth themselves?

I have heard some PCUSA members during the last few weeks, on the heels of their denomination’s conference, state that “the media did a hack job on us.” But the question remains, whose media is doing the hacking?
The “media” I have read has accurately related the things that actually took place at the conference. I [...]
