Beware of manufacturing a god of your own: a god who is all mercy but not just, a god who is all love but not holy, a god who has a heaven for everybody but a hell for none, a god who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but [...]

Striving for the Truth
Posted in Christian Living, Church, Doctrinal Issues, Emergent, Encouragement, False Teaching, Spiritual Warfare on June 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There are congregations, even in the present age of conflict, that are really gathered around the table of the crucified Lord; there are pastors that are pastors indeed. But such congregations, in many cities, are difficult to find. Weary with the conflicts of the world, one goes into the Church to seek refreshment for the [...]
J.C.Ryle- Pharisees and Saduccees
Posted in Christian Living, Church, Discipleship, Doctrinal Issues, Emergent, Encouragement, False Teaching, J.C.Ryle on April 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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, – [...]
J.C. Ryle- Exhortations for Young Men
Posted in Biblical Manhood, Christian Living, Church, Discipleship, Emergent, Encouragement, J.C.Ryle, Relationships, Student Ministry on January 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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!
Posted in Apostasy, Christian Living, Discipleship, Doctrinal Issues, Emergent, Encouragement, False Teaching on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
To the Non-Religious, Fed up with Christianity
Posted in Atheism, Christian Living, Church, Doctrinal Issues, Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism on January 28, 2009 | 13 Comments »
Umpteen times I have come across comments and posts by people proclaiming their disdain and sheer irritation with Christianity. I have also read and heard remarks by Christians siding with the Non-Christians, stating that they too are fed up with radical fundamentalism, the kind who run around preaching hell, fire and brimstone at every person [...]
A Liberal Gospel is idolatry
Posted in Apostasy, Christian Living, Church, Doctrinal Issues, Emergent, False Teaching on January 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
“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 [...]
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!! [...]
Prepared for the Slaughter- An Article about Discernment and all that……
Posted in Apostasy, Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism, Say What? on December 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Upcoming Book reviews- ‘Doing’ Church in the 21st Century. What’s right and what’s wrong?

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 [...]

Mark Driscoll- Emergent Church critque!! Great!!
Posted in Apostasy, Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism, Mark Driscoll, Say What?, Sola Scriptura on November 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
“Red-Letter Christians”: A Bad Idea with a Bad Name, Alas
Posted in Emergent, Preaching on November 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Being a “red-letter Christian” sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? Tony Campolo, professor emeritus of sociology at Eastern University, activist, pundit, and provocateur, tells us that he wants to obey the very words of Jesus, those words that in previous generations of Bible publishing were printed in red.
His comrade Jim Wallis of the Sojourners [...]
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
Posted in A.W.Pink, Apostasy, David Wells, Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism, J.I. Packer, Michael Horton, Paul Washer, Say What? on November 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]

“It may be that a certain profession of religion has become so fashionable and comparatively easy in the present age that the streams which were once narrow and deep have become wide and shallow, and what we have gained in outward show we have lost in quality. It may be that the vast increase [...]

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 [...]
Porn Again Christian- Mark Driscoll
Posted in Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, Say What?, Sola Scriptura on November 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Some people like him, so people don’t. Whatever your stance on Mark Driscoll you cannot deny that God is using him for the good. My own stance on Mark Driscoll is one of respect and admiration without straying into idol worshipping him. He is a great communicator, he’s honest, and his theology is fine by [...]
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.

“I remain fascinated by the variety of approaches that preachers take in preparing their sermons. In our preparation, as well as in our delivery we must ‘to our own selves be true.’ When I am asked to summarise my method of preparation, I mention the following points, which I learned from the late Leith Samuel….

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 Doctrines of original sin, election, effectual calling, final perserverance, and all those great truths which are called Calvinism- though Calvin was niot the author of them, but simply an able writer and preacher upon the subject- are, I believe, the essential doctrines of the Gospel that is in Jesus Christ. Now, I do not [...]
