Over at the Pulpit Magazine blog (http://www.sfpulpit.com), there is an ongoing series on Lordship Salvation. Over the last few weeks, there has been many valuable insights from the Grace team on what exactly Lordship Salvation means. The usual vocal opponents have surfaced, and voiced their normal objections.
One of the cornerstones of the non-Lordship camp [...]

The doctrines of unbelief
Posted in General Christian on October 21, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Those who don’t believe in God have their own doctrines, and since those of us who believe in the Doctrines of Grace have them neatly described, I thought I could also describe the doctrines of unbelief that I have encountered in debate.
1. Disbelief in the supernatural – Nothing exists outside the empirically verifiable.
2. Intellectual superiority [...]
Seperation of Doctrine and Morals?
Posted in General Christian on October 18, 2006 | 2 Comments »
There is currently an excellent piece on Christians and politics over at the Pulpit magazine blog.
http://www.sfpulpit.com/
It ties in a little with my “Call to Unity” post a few days ago. It also raises another important issue, one which I consciously chose to avoid, namely the seperation of doctrine and ethics.

Madonna to be crucified on NBC
Posted in General Christian on October 16, 2006 | 2 Comments »
The same network that thought it would be inappropriate to show the Danish Muhammed cartoons has ignored nearly 750,000 emails asking them to not show a music special where Madonna is “crucified”.
According to Madonna, “crucifixes are sexy, because there is a naked man on them”.
Apparently only those who show their displeasure with violence are heeded. [...]
Repentance-free zones

The last 3 weeks we have been going to a new church, based on the recommendation of a good friend. I don’t have too many qualms with it, the preaching is practical and the atmosphere friendly. It is non-denominational, in agreement with my policy of not wanting to mix church and theo-politics like at a [...]
The ethical consequences of the Theory of Evolution
Posted in Uncategorized on October 9, 2006 | 2 Comments »
In my previous post I mentioned the statements made by Brian Rohrbough, and the subsequent outbursts against him for daring to infer that the acts of the Columbine shooters were influenced by the theory of evolution.
Firstly, those who attacked him responded with ad-hominem attacks against him, but did notr really address the facts. The Columbine [...]

I don’t know how many people read this blog. Does it matter? Maybe not, although I believe that there are some important messages here. I read many blogs, newspapers and forums, at least 15 per day. Secular, Christian, sports, news etc…and from it all I try to form an opinion of what is going on [...]

The Power of the Gospel
Posted in Theology on October 2, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
What exactly is the Gospel? It is the word of God, and it describes man’s inabilities and God’s love. However, it is more than that, it is the word that gives life, it is the verbalization of salvation. It is the call of God, the supernatural words that opens up change in man.
How powerful is [...]
