It wasn’t as much fun as I had hoped, though. To be honest, it’s hard to do that sort of thing. Obviously, it’s even harder to do it and be funny. (Insert “FAIL” graphic here.)
We were atheists, then Buddhists of various stripes, and then we ended at Scientology. Of all of [...]
Sinclair Ferguson again: “Vos says that the heart of legalism is when we separate the law of God from the person of God. And what we have got then are bare imperatives that don’t have an indicative that will sustain them.”
I am lifting this out of my shared links to point out an opportunity to think about worldview and apologetics.
The headline is “Man Finds God, And It’s Not ‘Doctor Who.’” I like SyFy Portal, but I admit that I don’t agree with the author of this piece, Michal Hinman, about much outside of science [...]
“Scotland Today” from Reformation21.
Check out this TeamPyro bit by Dan Phillips. I agree with Dan, for what it’s worth. Read it.
Next in Hebrews 3 we come to a section which implores us to enter into our rest. Strangely, I have seen a few commentators take the result of this argument in Heb. 4:9 and claim that this passage supports the ongoing requirement of Christians to keep the Sabbath (in some sense that includes resting [...]
James White put a short (3-3/4 minute) but powerful presentation up on YouTube. He shares three commonly misused verses, one each by Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Oneness Pentecostals and how those Scriptures should be properly understood. Yet another awesome resource from Dr. White.
Pastor Dave Harvey has a series of YouTube videos on his book, When Sinners Say “I Do”: Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage. Start here for the introduction to the book. Then go here (1), here (2), here (3), here (4), here (5), here (6), here (7), and finally here (8).
Update: [...]
In response to a friend asking about New Testament canon issues:
The “messy human business” (I like that phrase, it’s a good description of what people think) of the Canon is a fairly recent development in the history of unbelief, and it takes advantage of people’s lack of historical training and gullibility. (I’m going to [...]
T4G ads. Very funny stuff. Loved the picture of Al Mohler.
The following is from a newsletter I recently received from an organization (which will remain nameless) which purportedly focuses on preaching the gospel to the Lubavitchers or Chabadniks (the emphases were not added by me but part of the newsletter):
However within the darkness of the 600,000 Lubavitcher community (that I have written to you about [...]
I preached Sunday morning’s sermon at GCBC. Probably the most straightforward and hardest-hitting gospel presentation I have ever made in my life… and at the end of it I had two kids come up and comment on how they thought for a while that I was yelling at them. I responded, as straight-faced [...]
Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year. No, I don’t trick-or-treat. No, I’m not into holidays for the devil. But the last day of October has been more than “All Hallows’ Eve” for 489 years now.
It’s Reformation Day. It’s the anniversary of Martin Luther nailing the Ninety-five Theses to the [...]
This is excellent. I’ll have to post it on the front page.
Check out Jerry Bridges’s article, “Gospel-Driven Sanctification.”
I’d particularly recommend reading this article if you’re suffering from the fallout of years spent slaving away in a false, works-righteousness centered “ministry” like the University Bible Fellowship.
Speaking of UBF. At first [...]
If you are Roman Catholic, here is what the Apostle Paul might say to you:
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Listen
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? [1] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What [...]
I had the weirdest Father’s Day ever on Sunday. I started out by giving a panhandler a few bucks, and ended up driving him to Springfield.
It started as we were driving home from church. The man on the side of the road was sitting on his duffel bag and holding a sign that [...]

Hi Mrs. XXXXX,
If you mean that you do not believe you can discuss the Bible and its teachings with me, then I would have to humbly conclude that you are wrong. Certainly you know some of its main points, as I see evidenced below (e.g., “God is love,” “Jesus is God,” etc.). [...]
Imagine with me if you will that food is free, and what you get to eat depends on where you go. For example, there are a number of all-you-can-eat restaurants around; some serve mostly fast food, which is fine once in a while but when eaten too much makes you fat and sick. [...]
A site that hasn’t posted much (that I can find) related to the death of the Pope, but has posted a lot related to the false gospel of Roman Catholicism, is Christian Resources.
Go straight to the articles for the good stuff, among which you will find the following:
Justification, a comparison of the Biblical view of [...]
