The Final End of the Wicked

Posted on December 27, 2018 by Alan

I’ve been blessed by a brother in Christ who recently moved to Strasburg (he and his wife being potential attendees of the church I am minister for). When I meet with a possible new member who especially cares about theology, I figure it is best to be up front about anything he or she might…

The Gospel Message in the Sermons of Acts

Posted on August 25, 2017January 27, 2023 by Alan

A continuing debate about interfaith dialogues on Twitter often hinges on whether a full gospel declaration was provided. For my undergraduate degree at Liberty University I wrote a paper, “The Gospel Message in the Sermon of Acts,” that first had to define what is in the gospel. If you click on the title, you can…

Damien and Augie’s Sermon on Angels

Posted on November 6, 2016 by Alan

Last Sunday… Last Sunday Damien came over after church, and he, Augie, and I were chatting at the kitchen table. I cannot remember if I specifically asked what they would like me to preach on, but, regardless, the two boys ended up telling me they’d like one on angels. And this sermon is a result…

“The Walking Dead: Man’s Fallen Condition”

Posted on February 3, 2015February 3, 2015 by Alan

A great article by @soteriology101 on total depravity from an Arminian-ish view: “The Walking Dead: Man’s Fallen Condition”

Au Contraire Mr. Edwards

Posted on January 31, 2015January 31, 2015 by Alan

Depending on your picture of the Most High, this may sum up your perception of Him: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31, English Standard Version). Perhaps the most famous sermon based on this sentiment is Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”…

“Is Homosexual Practice No Worse Than Any Other Sin?”

Posted on January 17, 2015 by Alan

Another (even longer) article worth your time: “Is Homosexual Practice No Worse Than Any Other Sin?” Although I can’t say I agree with Robert A. J. Gagnon entirely, I appreciate his logical approach and ultimate appeal to Scripture. Interestingly enough, where I might differ in accepting one sin as being greater than another is somewhat…

“Critique of The Final End of the Wicked by Edward Fudge”

Posted on January 11, 2015January 11, 2015 by Alan

Well, I thought my previous post was a little light on Scripture when it got to the section on hell. This one does a bit better…. Alan Fahrner Theo 202 S04 Summer 1 06 Critique #4 Critique of The Final End of the Wicked by Edward Fudge Critique Although I personally think Edward Fudge did…

“The Destiny of the Unevangelized and the Nature of Hell”

Posted on January 11, 2015January 11, 2015 by Alan

I imagine it’s far from the first time John Piper gave his view of annihilationism, but within the last 24 hours he wrote this: Annihilation is what the unrepentant want, not what they dread. It would be a reward, not a punishment. Non-consciousness knows no loss. I’m not going to debate the merits of his…

“What God Has Joined”

Posted on April 27, 2014April 27, 2014 by Alan

Jesus’ words about divorce appear to leave little room for the practice in a Christian context: It was also said, “Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.” But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and…

Is it Okay to Test God?

Posted on December 8, 2013December 8, 2013 by Alan

A new Twitter friend posted an article which showed that prayer had no effect on the success of heart bypass surgery (and that, actually, those who knew they were prayed for fared worse). For her consideration I shared my article, "A God that Does Not Want to Be Measured Will Not Be Measured." Although she…

God Gives Us What We Want

Posted on November 1, 2013 by Alan

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…

Jesus’ 7 “I Am” Statements in John

Posted on November 1, 2012December 30, 2013 by Alan

Jesus’ 7 “I am” statements in John for my Twitter friends Julie and Mike: John 6:35 (ESV) Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 8:12 (ESV) Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light…

“Homosexuality is not an identity, it is a behavior.”

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Alan

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.)

Quick Arguments Against Pluralism

Posted on July 15, 2012July 15, 2012 by Alan

Overall it seems that arguing with pluralism is like pushing against the wind. If a pluralist will not even concede the validity of the law of non-contradiction, there is nothing to "push against" to even begin an argument against pluralism. Having said that, there are two approaches: one for a believer, and one for an…
