MacArthur on Emerging Church: “Hear No Truth, Speak No Truth, Follow No Truth”

“This is not an intellectual movement.”

Can Or Should Christians Judge One Another?

Christians are to judge disputes between members of the local body of believers so they can settle these disputes

President Obama not an obvious follower of Christ? Join the club.

Then, it hit me. What would my statistic be among people who knew me, but did not know my background? What percentage of my acquaintances would know I am a Christian? I’m afraid, my numbers would probably be lower than Mr. Obama’s. Embarrassing to say? Of course.

What happend to the holiness culture?

I ask, “Where has the holiness culture gone?” Maybe the better question is, “Will it ever return?”

Is worry eating you alive?

Is worry eating you alive?   Do you lay awake at night trying to figure out how to make it all work…   Do you often look back fondly to when “things were easy” and when you didn’t have the worry you have now?     Being worried about stuff, worried about things that are totally [...]

My Brother’s Keeper

How do we help brothers and sisters who wrestle with obvious sin? Are we obligated to confront, talk, or even mention what we see? Or is that being judgmental?

Eis, Eis, Baby!

This has made me wonder. I have often wondered (in the sense of marveled) that the original translators had the courage to do it right! Then I have often wondered (in the sense of “I wish I knew”) HOW MANY CALLS AND LETTERS the translators and publisher received from the “sola fidei” folks complaining about the original version and demanding a change.

There are others in history who have claimed a higher knowledge than what scripture plainly teaches.
