Pastor MacArthur has a hard-hitting message for the modern church here. He examines the culture of mediocrity, and how that has found its way into the church of today. This is one of the best messages I’ve heard on this topic. Please take the time to read it.
“But that’s not what they get most of [...]

Is God dependent or sovereign?
Posted in Theology on April 20, 2007 | 1 Comment »
When Paul speaks in the middle chapters of Romans, he does a couple of things. Firstly, in Romans 5-8, he explains how we are saved by faith, and what the nature of the saving faith looks like. It is all that is required to be saved, no works or efforts required from the human side.

It is amazing how much Monday-morning quarterbacking is going on from the media, those in chatrooms and even around the watercoolers. Blame the college, blame the police, blame the gun-laws…
Forgotten, or mentioned as an afterthought, are the victims and their families, the friends and colleagues and the community. All the retrospecting will not bring them [...]

Greg Koukl from Stands to Reason Ministries wrote a good article about the underlying motives and battleground of abortion.

God is cruel, the Bible is a fairy tale, Jesus never rose from the dead, religion is evil and other gems frequently flow [...]

Two people walked on the road to Emmaus when someone else joined them. He asked them what they were talking about. Well, they said, we thought we had a king, but he was betrayed and killed, and he’s been gone for 3 days now, and the funny thing is, his body is gone from the [...]

It was windy and dusty on that hill. Noisy too. A mixture of shouting, weeping, the clanging of shields and swords and spears. People milled around, trying to see better, trying to worship, say goodbye or scream obscenities. Soldiers barged their way open, shoving and shouting.
