Interesting video where Jack Moorman (KJV-only) and James White debate whether English-speaking folks should only use the King James Version of the Bible: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwe_nxeVwE0&w=420&rel=0] Hat tip to 5 Pt. Salt.

“We All Need Forgiveness…Forgiveness”
Driving a few hours too long Back in September I had to get our Cube back from South Dakota to New Hampshire, and had decided to take three days for the trek. When it was time to stop on day two, by the time I found what would be a good location, it seemed like…
My Favorite Song in 2012
The year is not over, but it’ll take a lot to knock this song off the top of my list of favorite songs for 2012: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfkhqpl81NA&w=512&rel=0] Thank you TobyMac, Lecrea, & Nirva Ready…and especially to God for giving them the talent and me the forgiveness… UPDATE: Proof that it's a great song. Augie asked for…
Pick Me! Pick Me!
One of the reasons I like being around young children is because their excitement is infectious—even when it is about inconsequential or mundane things. Michelle and I have been blessed by the fact that Augie is especially able to appreciate life's ordinary occurrences. There is no school day where he isn't thrilled to hear the…
What should a sermon about forgiveness include?
Alan will be preaching about forgiveness this Sunday. What do think the sermon must include? Also, do you have any forgiveness anecdotes?
“One Light” by 3 Doors Down
A great "almost Christian" song by 3 Doors Down: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alKUu4g-HM0&w=512&rel=0] I know what (who) the “one light to shine” should be…must be… (And, who knows, maybe this isn’t an "almost" Christian song…) P.S. As of right now you can get a free copy of this single here.
Psalms == Praise?
During this morning’s “wing-it” Bible study (please note I didn’t say “wing nut” Bible study :-)) the last minute leader, Stan, spoke about the various parts of worship…and signing came into scope. These two verses came up as I did a search in Crossway’s English Standard Version Study Bible on my iPhone: addressing one another…
Forgiveness
I’ll be writing next week’s bulletin article on forgiveness…it was inspired by a passing thought I had during my (work) trip to Hawaii. As a Christian it would almost seem “easy” to say, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do” if someone is torturing and then killing you. I’m sure “easy” isn’t the…
“Homosexuality is not an identity, it is a behavior.”
In a short clip about homosexuality, “Bible Answer Man” Hank Hanegraaff answers, “Can you be a Christian and actively practice homosexuality?” (The title of this short post is a quote from his response that is very important to the discussion…even in a secular context.)
Is free will an illusion?
Interesting video about free will (hat tip to Hot Air): [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q40PfsLxMzY&w=420&rel=0] During college I watched a debate between a Calvinist and a…well…I guess you would say a “non-Calvinist.” In it the Calvinist spent a little time waxing philosophical about free will, and whether it actually exists. Ultimately, he was arguing, you cannot do anything outside…
“Two rival religions? … The real struggle is between Christianity and Post-Christianity.”
There is a very interesting article by Albert Mohler that is worth your time titled, “Two Rival Religions? Christianity and Post-Christianity.” Not only does it explain why it is near impossible to convince a liberal Christian of something outside their worldview, but it (in great respect) puts into words how secularism is itself a religion with…
