Traitors for Christ
I am thankful… For a forgiving Lord who has promised an eternity with Him for those who believe (which came at such great cost to the Godhead). For an awesome family: my beautiful and undeserved wife Michelle, two tremendous girls April and Jennifer, and two incredible sons Michael and Augie. For the body of Christ…
Not a Christian song, but in great respect the attitude members of the body of Christ should have (and a tremendous version of this tune): [youtube=http://youtu.be/Aw2YvkxaD0U&w=512&rel=0] And a bonus non-Christian recent-tune favorite:
I’ve heard this C.S. Lewis quote before…but was glad to run into it in page 72 of my The Great Divorce: There are two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are…
Interesting talk by Phil Johnson at the Strange Fire conference: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlwCcIiQs1Y&w=512&rel=0]
My present “below 10,000 feet” book is The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. Without spoiling the story, it is a fictional way of discussing all the different excuses people have for rejecting the truth. In one of the interesting dialogues, the saved friend is trying to convince a to-smart-for-his-own-britches former (before he died) intellectual minister….
Scanning through various sites, I ran into two polar articles. First, a church stands for life: "No communion for Nancy Pelosi: Vatican court head" Second, a country stands for death: "Number of Dutch killed by euthanasia rises by 13 per cent" I disagree with the Catholic Church in major doctrinal ways, but kudos to them…
If you take the time to read (or listen) to my sermon from today, "Ya Got Trouble," then you'll agree that this article from August 31 (that I only saw today) is fitting: "If the Devil had to invent a game, it would be this one" It starts off like this: If the Devil had…
Here's something that probably won't surprise most men (or women)… "Brain scans find porn addiction" COMPULSIVE users of pornography show the same signs of addiction in their brain activity as alcoholics or drug addicts, a study has revealed. In the first research of its kind, scans showed that a central portion of the brain which…
Navy Yard Quoting from USA Today’s “Moment by Moment: How the Navy Yard Shooting Unfolded”: For more than 30 agonizing minutes, Aaron Alexis stalked his human prey with a 12-gauge shotgun, eluding several attempts by law enforcement officers to gun him down, police said Tuesday. Details emerging about the chaotic morning of violence at the…
Happy Birthday President Taft! According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, today is the birthday of our 27 President, William Howard Taft. If he were still alive, he’d be a spritely 157 years old. Not only that, but it’s the birthday of: Tommy Lee Jones (66) Oliver Stone (66) Dan Marino (51) Prince Harry (28) Agatha…
Escaping Is anyone here that also has felt that a perfect life would be a log cabin in the middle of nowhere—a million miles away from the hustle-and-bustle of modern times? Totally unplugged and just communing with nature and God? Go ahead and throw in space in your cabin for your loved ones…that is, if…
"Officials: Ohio man who held 3 women captive for nearly a decade hangs himself in prison cell" Versus… Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? (Ezekiel 18:23, ESV) Say to them, As I live, declares the…
There is someone on Twitter who I have grown to greatly appreciate (Evan Welcher). I feel like he and I have quite a bit in common thought-process wise, even if he is on the other side of the pond. He is suffering through something right now that is outside my experience. His "Resplendent Bride" is…
Before I loved the Lord I loved math…and one of the most difficult high school math courses I had dealt with logic and proofs. As such, it is also fair to say before I loved the Lord I loved logic. Which is good. Sound biblical interpretation and the formation of reliable doctrines require it. One…
It’s hard to know exactly how to properly interpret the data, but here is the top eighteen countries (by listener minutes) for Traditores Radio since January. (If you click on the image you’ll get a slightly larger version of it.) I’ll put the top 100 "below the fold." Once cumulative minutes for a country (since…
