False Teaching- Listen up all y’all out there!

This is a great video in warning us to be discerning against any teaching that is out there. We must always go to the Bible to see what it actually says, not what somebody says that it says. Just like the Bereans. I don’t necessarily agree with all the pictures on here (most of them [...]

How to identify a Cult- It’s simple really………..

For the past few years I have looked at cults and different religions with a view of trying to understand them to better equip me in my witnessing and communication of the Christian Faith. I found, over the years, it is quite impossible to know everything about all religions or even a minority of them. While [...]

A Liberal Gospel is idolatry

“What happens to the Gospel when idolatry themes are not grasped? ‘God loves you’typically becomes a tool to meet a need for self-esteem in people who feel like failures. The particular content of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – ‘grace for sinners and deliverance for the sinned-against’ – is down-played or even twisted into ‘unconditional [...]

Bishop John Shelby “Hymaneus, Alexander” Spong

Oh my word…..is this guy serious?? It defies belief that this man (John Shelby Spong) has the pedestal that he has to preach the absolute disgusting lies that he does. I normally try to hold back my emotions and be as gracious as my sinful self can be when talking about false teaching but this [...]

The Problem with Rob Bell

I’ve posted on Rob Bell before, and my friend and fellow blogger-in-Christ, over at Wired4Truth, posted a few articles regarding Rob Bell which went through the roof, after I gave him a little video hint. I’m glad I didn’t post it because I certainly could not have done as good a job as he did!! [...]

Can a true Christian deny the virgin birth?

I was recently at an overnight gathering of those aged 18-28ish in my church, which proved to be a great time of blessing and fellowship. However, one worrying thing that occurred was what was said during a discussion a few of us had about the virgin birth. I, and the others, firmly hold that the [...]

Albert Mohler said…….

The very possibility of heresy is dismissed in many circles within mainline Protestantism, and many evangelicals seem to have no better grasp of the moral imperative to honour the truth and oppose error. Matters of truth and falsehood are not matters of moral indifference to the Christian church. We are to contend for the faith, [...]

Prepared for the Slaughter- An Article about Discernment and all that……

As history has shown, it is a common tactic for the oppressing force to gain control of a nation by seizing the means by which individuals might defend themselves. Once the citizenry are disarmed, it is a relatively easy matter to exert complete tyrannical control. It seems to me that the same principal holds true [...]

Mark Driscoll- Emergent Church critque!! Great!!

Pastor Mark Driscoll, of Mars Hill Church Seattle, addressed the students/pastors at the Convergent Conference of the Southeastern Baptist Convention in September 2007, regarding the Emergent church. For quite some time now I have been wary of the Emergent church for more reasons than one. I have friends who would read and listen to a [...]

Our Culture; What’s Left Of It- Theodore Dalrymple

I have recently developed an interest in gaining an understanding of why society is the way it is today. I’ve always found history fascinating, and whilst my bone-idleness during school was not an accurate reflection of this (a C in History and an E in Ancient History are not exactly grades that give an indication [...]

 “The consequences of this widespread dislike to dogma are very serious in the present day. Whether we like to allow it or not, it is an epidemic which is just now doing great harm, especially among young people. It creates, fosters, and keeps up an immense amount of instability in religion. It produces what I [...]

The Holiness of God

              
The Holiness of God is something the 21st Century world just doesn’t get. In fact, I think using the phrase ‘the 21st Century’ is too broad a generalisation. I would change that to 21st Century contemporary western Christianity. Many Christians in China or Africa for instance totally get it. Their zeal for the Lord [...]

J.C. Ryle said it well……..

It may be that the vast increase [...]

Paul Washer said……..

 
“In modern day evangelism, this precious doctrine [of regeneration] has been reduced to nothing more than a human decision to raise one’s hand, walk an aisle, or pray a “sinner’s prayer.” As a result, the majority of Americans (read Westerners) believe that they’ve been “born again” (i.e., regenerated) even though their thoughts, words, and deeds [...]

Here comes Muslim Europe

Further to my post yesterday by Voddie Baucham in relation to Islam, I thought this article was quite interesting and worth sharing. Before I begin though let’s establish that this is not “hate” blogging. In no way, shape or form should hate blogging be tolerated. However, a presentation of the geographical and demographical landscape of Europe is somewhat [...]

Mormons are NOT Christians and Mormonism IS a CULT

Has anyone noticed the increased Mormon propaganda and advertising on the internet these days? The Mormon church is advertising like wildfire on prominent websites such as Hotmail and Thesauras Online. What are they advertising? Happiness. How to find happiness. Seems like they have gotten on board with the church marketers just like the seeker-sensitive movement [...]

The Islamisation of Europe

I recently received a copy of the Barnabus Fund magazine which keeps me up-to-date with the persecuted church. Within this edition there was an article on the Islamisation of Europe. I plan to add to this post in due course with more on what the article had to say, but for the meantime I thought [...]

TWENTY-THREE GREAT SINS OF EVANGELICALISM–Why We Must Pray For A Reformation Again.
Many Christians today are calling for revival. They are mistaken to do so. Revival is the imbuing of what already exists with new life. In the past, Evangelical Christianity has experienced renewed vigor from the Holy Spirit in great moves of God many call [...]

5 Trends in the Church Today- D.A. Carson

 
1. It is important to observe contradictory trends.
Interestingly, Don encouraged us to recognize the good things in our current culture. He said we have a lot more good commentaries available to us than we did fifty years ago. Yet, mainline churches have fewer conversions than ever before. This is a contradictory trend, according to Carson.

Who Needs A Creed?…for those who think Creeds are useless (the “No Creed but Christ idea)

Who Needs A Creed?
Article by Mark Johnston  April 2008

When I was at Primary School in the British state school system many moons ago, it was still the norm not only to teach pupils the Apostles’ Creed, but also to have them recite it in class. Looking back on that experience brings many thoughts to mind.

Technology can be an instrument for gratitude or for idolatry (Vern S. Poythress)

C.J. Mahaney on Rob Bell and the Pastor’s Task of Discernment

At least that’s what I’ve heard off some people this past year or two. I do have to confess that I bought both [...]

EWTN Catholic TV explains the early Reformer John Hus as a heretic

Literally 10 minutes ago I sat down to watch some Sky TV before my Bible Study. Nothing was on. I thus decided to take a walk through the world of the tele-evangelists. I often wonder what nonsense I will come across as I flick through TBN, God Channel and the like. I eventually stumbled upon the Roman [...]

The Origins of Earth according to Mormonism

“Mormonism teaches that trillions of planets scattered throughout the cosmos are ruled by countless gods, who once were human like us. They say that long ago on one of these planets, to an unidentified god and one of his goddess wives, a spirit child named Elohim was conceived. This spirit child was later born to [...]
