O'Reilly: The Addition and Death of Witney Houston

2012-02-18T14:30:00.001-05:00

Here is Bill O'Reilly's strong words regarding the death of Witness Houston. Although I have not followed this story in any detail, I am surprised by how few have commented on Mrs. Houston's struggle with alcohol and drugs. It is not surprising that she was found dead and that drugs likely played a part. This ought to be yet another reminder that it is the goal of sin to kill. O'Reilly tells

Here is comedian Brad Stine speaking at CPAC 2012.

One of the greatest international soccer players in the world, David Beckham, married to the former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), is in trouble. His sins do not include his performance on the field or inappropriate behavior off, but the fact that he and his wife have given birth and are raising four children.

"The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism" by Carl FH Henry

2012-02-16T14:30:00.001-05:00

You know your reading a classic when after decades of a book's original publication, it is still relevant and it reads as if it is hot off the press. Carl F.H. Henry's classic The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism is one of those books. There is a context. Fundamentalism by the mid 20th Century, the word "fundamentalism" had a meaning that was actually helpful. Today we may call such

Repost | The Early Church and Pacifism

2012-02-16T08:30:00.000-05:00

Was the Early Church pacifists? That's the question that the Mere Orthodoxy blog seeks to answer and the conclusion is fascinating. I recently discussed this on a major commentary. One of the reasons why many in the Early Church refused to join the military is because one had to worship the gods including Caesar. Christians, in good conscience, could not commit such idolatry. However, once

Is the Original NT Lost?: Ehrman vs. Wallace

2012-02-15T14:30:00.001-05:00

The well publicized and followed debate between Bart Ehrman and Daniel Wallace on the New Testament manuscripts is now online and you can view it below. Lest you think this is a mute point, think again. If the manuscripts of the NT have been corrupted or are disagreement, then how can we know what the original writers said? In other words, when I stand in the pulpit each Sunday and declare "thus

"Dug Down Deep" by Joshua Harris

2012-02-13T00:01:00.001-05:00

Theology is a secondary issue to many Christians. We read books, listen to sermons, and seek to be good Christians, but all away from a firm grip on theology. To most theology is boring, time consuming, unnecessary, and only for the educated and those stuck in ivory towers. No wonder we're in a mess. But there is hope. A growing number of believers and Christian leaders are starting to go

Sen. Rubio Delivers Keynote Address at SBA List Gala

2012-02-10T14:30:00.001-05:00

If there ever was an obvious frontrunner for the vice-president nominee, it would be without a doubt Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Many have compared him to Barack Obama in that he is young, a rising star, and many see him in the White House. I have no doubt that three of the candidates (minus Ron Paul) would ask him to be their running mate if they were to win the nomination and some have hinted

All of theology is practical. If I have learned anything as a pastor it is that one's theology shapes everything that one does, says, believes, and thinks - especially for pastors. Recently, while reading Dr. Thomas Schreiner's wonderful book on New Testament Theology, Magnifying God in Christ: A Summary of New Testament Theology, I came across the following quote asking if believing in what

Why I Love Jesus, But Hate Antinomianism: Don Miller, Jefferson Bethke, Religion, & the Gospel

2012-02-08T14:30:00.000-05:00

Some videos strike a cord and certainly Jefferson Bethke viral video "Why I Love Jesus But Hate Religion" is one of them. As the title suggests, it is an onslaught against religion and I couldn't embrace his message more. Religion is a curse. A perfumed idolatry that is wicked and is antithetical to the gospel. Due to the videos popularity many, including Christians and non-believers, a
