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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“Rob Bell, Rob Bell, Rob Bell”. “Nooma this, Nooma that, Nooma, Nooma, Nooma”. Have you read that book Velvet Elvis? Great Book that is. Will change the way you view your faith forever!”
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 [...]

The following is an extract from C.J. Mahaney and the Sovereign Grace blog. I particularly like what Piper has to say with regards to the trials of life. Not every trial is to be looked upon as bad. Yes its hard at the time but God is moulding us into the men and woman he [...]

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly [...]

The Internet- Good or Bad?
This, the second part of my “What shapes your world”, focuses on the modern phenomena that is the internet aka “the web”, “the net” and whatever else you want to call it. In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program [...]

If anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, “What have you that you did not receive?” (1 Cor. 4:7), and, “But by the grace [...]

1. Have a good Bible.
Every Christian needs a good Bible that they can easily read and enjoy. A translation such as the English Standard Version (ESV), the ESV Study Bible is very well done, or the New International Version (NIV) is preferable as your primary reading Bible, although there are many other translations that are [...]

John Macarthur, Mark Driscoll- Emerging vs Emergent
Posted in Emergent, John Macarthur, Mark Driscoll on June 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Something that has caught my attention of late is the Emergent Church movement. Of course those within the movement would cringe at being called a movement preferring the term “conversation”. However, many would agree that the Emergent Church now has too many followers, published books and meetings to be called simply a “conversation”. The following [...]
