The truth of 1 Corinthians 10:31 has echoed from all eternity and will echo into eternity future: “Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do all to the glory the glory of God” (ESV). Contemporary culture appears to have more in common with Romans 1:23-25 than 1 Corinthians 10:31. The apostle Paul writes, “For althoughContinue reading “SOLI DEO GLORIA – TO THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE!”

A Response to Ed Young: “Cool-Aide Homeboy”
Reformed theology has been on the rise for several years now. Some pastors are discovering the doctrines of grace for the first time; others are waking up to the beauty of Calvinism, the dogma that Spurgeon called a “nickname for biblical Christianity.” However, whenever a movement of God ascends, opposition tends to rise. Consider theContinue reading “A Response to Ed Young: “Cool-Aide Homeboy””
A STALWART OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: JOHN STOTT (1921-2011)
On July 27, 2011 one of the stalwarts of the Christian faith, John Stott went to be with the Lord. I credit Dr. Stott with instilling an early love for theology. His book, The Cross of Christ (1986) is one of the first serious books I read as a Bible College student. I’ll never forgetContinue reading “A STALWART OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: JOHN STOTT (1921-2011)”

CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?: Teaching Intelligent Design to Children
Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859 and set forth his theory that all living organisms, including humans descended from a single primordial form. Evolutionists bombard students with the erroneous notion that we are a result of a cosmic accident; that human life arose by chance. Indeed, evolutionary theory teaches that man isContinue reading “CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?: Teaching Intelligent Design to Children”
ON THE MOVE – Bono
I have followed the Irish rock band U2 since 1984. Bono, the lead singer and front man, has never been shy about voicing his concerns about cultural problems. On the Move is the speech that Bono delivered at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. in 2006. Bono begins by sharing a bit of hisContinue reading “ON THE MOVE – Bono”
THE EROSION OF THE CHRISTIAN MIND
Erosion occurs in the Christian mind when we do not carefully evaluate the propositions that bombard us. And make no mistake. The mental assault is relentless and subtle. For instance, consider one of the central statements in the movie, Megamind – “Destiny is not the path given to us but the path we choose forContinue reading “THE EROSION OF THE CHRISTIAN MIND”

He endured eight months in that filthy place. Hus was tortured and ultimately burned at the stake on July 6, 1415. Prior to hisContinue reading “REFORMATION DAY: THE SWANS WILL NOT BE SILENCED!”
A BLACK-AND-WHITE PROPOSAL: FAREWELL TO FUZZY THINKING
Donald Miller raises the banner for “fuzzy thinking” in a recent blog post entitled, “The Problem with Black-and-White Thinking” (re-posted on relevantmagazine.com). His main thought: “Black-and-white, either-or thinking polarizes people and stunts progressive thought.” Additionally, he holds that this kind of thinking stunts our “ability to find truth.” DEFENDING THE GOOD IN MILLER’S PROPOSAL MillerContinue reading “A BLACK-AND-WHITE PROPOSAL: FAREWELL TO FUZZY THINKING”
