Reclaiming the Mind Ministries

As someone with a keen interest in theology I always enjoy discovering new resources to read or listen to. My mind never tires of reading and learning more about the God of the Universe and the teachings of the Bible. I don’t know what it’s like in the USA but in the UK, there appears [...]

J.C.Ryle- Pharisees and Saduccees

Every word spoken by the lord Jesus is full of deep instruction for Christians. It is the voice of the Chief Shepherd. It is the Great Head of the Church speaking to all its members, – the King of kings speaking to His subjects, – the Master of the house speaking to His servants, – [...]

TV Church

What is the “electronic church”? If you turn on your TV, you will find a variety of religious broadcasting, from Roman Catholic masses to traditional Presbyterian services to charismatic talk shows. Some of these programs are rather amateurish local broadcasts of local worship services. Others are sophisticated and expensive programs syndicated [...]

J.C. Ryle- Exhortations for Young Men

When the Apostle Paul wrote his Epistle to Titus about his responsibility as a minister, he mentioned young men as a group requiring particular attention. After speaking of older men and older women, and young women, he adds this advice, “Encourage the young men to be self-controlled” (Titus 2:6). I am going to follow the [...]

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 [...]

Special Challenges of the 21st Century….

I Like this article……. a lot………

On August 9th, 1995, Netscape, the first mainstream web-browser, went public; and the world has never been the same. But the incredible benefits provided by the Internet are accompanied by lethal dangers. It took three years for the Internet to even begin to take off, but there were already 14 [...]

Blogging through the Institutes

A friend of mine recently informed me that the guys over at the Reformation21 blog are undertaking the task of blogging through “The Institutes of the Christian Religion” by the great reformer John Calvin in 2009.

Voddie Baucham said…………

“Our children are not falling away [from the Christian faith] because the church is doing a poor job—although that is undoubtedly a factor. Our children are falling away because we are asking the church to do what God designed the family to accomplish. Discipleship and multi-generational faithfulness begins and ends at home. At best, the [...]

Making Communities of Grace

 

I came across this photo recently and it struck me; we often undermine the power of close fellowship. Serving in Iraq these soldiers join together to pray to Jesus. It brought a tear to my eye as I pondered the contrast between the chaos of war and the peace that comes with knowing the Lord Jesus [...]

Within the next few weeks, God willing, I will be posting a series of reviews on the above books. As you can see all of the books deal with contemporary issues pertaining to the church. I’m sure I am not going to agree with everything that is said in some of them but I’m confident [...]

Satan’s Six Strategic Assaults on the Christian Faith

Some evangelical leaders have been joyfully announcing there is a great spiritual revival taking place in our country. However, a closer and more discern¬ing look reveals there is a countless mfiltra¬tion of deceivers masquerading as messen¬gers of Christ who are counterfeiting the Christian faith. “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel [...]

The Generation that the Church is in danger of failing………..

When Jesus asks Peter to “feed my lambs” after he’s been resurrected (John 21:15), he’s not talking about engaging them in a Bible study. Very few people were ever able to read back then, and there were very few copies of Scripture.
When Jesus told Peter (who is a type of medieval Everyman – a [...]

Respect, Study, Pray and Meditate on it- don’t just read it like a Harry Potter book!

Yes I thought I knew my Bible, Reading picemeal, hit or miss
Now a part of John or Matthew, Then a bit of Genesis
Certain chapters of Isaiah, Certain Psalms, the twenty-third.
First of Proverbs, twelfth of Romans, Yes, I thought I knew the Word
But I found that thorough reading, Was a different thing to do
And the way [...]
