Not, “Why I left,” (The United Methodist Church) but “Why do you stay?”

Mike Adams is a conservative-minded faculty member at UNCW who writes a column on TownHall.com. He is an outspoken free-speech advocate and often exposes the hypocrisy of those who want to suppress truth under the banner of free speech. I have heard him speak in public and enjoy his articles (see link in my Blogroll). [...]

Tom Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.

The article doesn’t have any more information than quoted below, and has some sleezy ads, so clicker beware. The good thing about Tom and Scientology is that even the unbelieving world recognizes that they are silly and untrue. Not always a usual thing in the kingdom of the cults.
“For if someone comes to you and [...]

Brian McLaren questions “The Gospel”

Here is a great article by Todd Friel, from “The Way Of The Master Radio“ called “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” where he does an excellent job of demonstrating that the current seeker sensitive movement is not the problem, but a symptom of the problem of redefining the doctrine of justification. In this piece, he quotes an incredible interview with [...]

My observations at the Annual March for Life

The following is a news blurb from FRC regarding the Annual March for Life in Washington DC this past Monday.

Barnhouse on “Vincent Peale,” a story from Walter Martin

“I’ll never forget the time when my teacher, Donald Grey Barnhouse, told me of a luncheon he had with Norman Vincent Peale—who was then riding the crest of the wave on the power of positive thinking. They had chatted for a few minutes when Peale unexpectedly remarked, “I’d like a candid answer, Donald. I know [...]

“God divided the light…”

“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”—Genesis 1:4
Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of goodness, “Let there be light.” We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it than we are, and see more of God in it and [...]

Greed

“It takes away the life of its owners” – Proverbs 1:19
 Is your church’s philosophy geared toward appealing to man’s “felt-needs,” and thus encouraging greed through the confirmation of those “felt-needs,….”
….or does your church’s philosophy appeal to the Biblical demand that we lay down our “felt-needs” in order to follow Christ at all costs?

Why we die. Who to believe for the reason of death?

My friend Jon sent me a link to AiG’s study guide on Genesis 1. – Thanks Jon!
Some great points were observed:
