Pat Robertson Says America’s Middle East Peace Push Is ‘Asking For The Wrath Of Almighty God’
One of a number of reasons why I believe dispensational theology is unbiblical and wacky.. Pat Robertson does not think the United States’ push for peace in the Middle East is the way to go. He recently said such a move is “asking for the wrath of Almighty God.” The “700 Club” host discussed on […]
He is Risen
This is a repost from five years ago but the story of Mary Magdalene seeing Jesus and hearing him speak her name, never gets old for me. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then […]
Keeping the Feasts?
By Peter Cohen, Messianic Good News Should Christians keep (or celebrate) the feasts that were prescribed under the Old Covenant or have they become obsolete under the New Covenant? Is there any harm in observing the old covenant feasts even if there is no obligation to do so? What about observing the Sabbath? The command to […]
Accommodating the Culture: Same-Sex Marriage
Good message at Herescope by Pastor Larry DeBruyn As one who has followed Rob Bell’s career for almost a decade, from the time he was the youth pastor at the church I grew up in, Calvary Church of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and then as the founding pastor of the Mars Hill Bible Church in suburban […]
Rob Bell: God Pulling Us Ahead to Affirm Gay Brothers, Sisters…
“I believe God [is] pulling us ahead into greater and greater affirmation and acceptance of our gay brothers and sisters and pastors and friends and neighbors and coworkers,” former megachurch pastor and best-selling author Rob Bell explained just days after surprising the evangelical Christian community with his expressed support for same-sex marriage. The former Mars […]
Antichrist: One or Many?
Few words bring to mind such fear as those who look for an “Antichrist” to lead the forces of Satan against the Son of God in a great apocalyptic conflagration in the final days. The dramatists of the left behind religions of our day predict the terrible end of the world in a horrific battle […]
The Founders Bible? Patriot’s Bible? Now the KJV Military Bible? I’m done…
I can understand the sentiment… Read Here
Left Behind? LaHaye, Jenkins, the Rapture and the New Testament
This is one of the more interesting reviews I’ve read on the theology surrounding the Left Behind books. It was written by Iain D. Campbell and can be found at Nollie’s blog: Doctrine Unites! A few excerpts, Perhaps you are asking why we should spend so much time thinking about a work of fiction? It is […]
Bible Prophecy in Crisis
Bible Prophecy in crisis? Boy if that isn’t the truth. Every day I receive at least one new “wild” dooms day/last day prophetic word or revelation from someone who falls into the “prophetic” category spoken of in Ezekiel 13: Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and […]
The Place of Israel
The past few days I’ve been following the on-going dialogue taking place at Adam’s blog under his post, Why I Abandoned Replacement Theology. And while the biblical argument concerning chosenness under the new covenant, and who is (instead of what is) Israel today and has been for the last 2000 years, can be a difficult one to […]
Why I Abandoned Replacement Theology
Bravo! Excellent message by Adam at Pursuing Truth, I once believed in and taught “replacement theology,” but no one ever accused me of it at the time. Since turning away from replacement theology, however, I’ve faced this accusation numerous times. What is replacement theology? Matt Slick, the president and founder of Christian Apologetics and Research […]
True or False
Is this statement true or false? God’s Love Is Unconditional Only To Those Who Are Regenerated And Are In Christ
Add-Ons: Augmenting Scripture with Diverse and Strange Doctrines
Boy this is a HUGE topic! Adding-on goes hand & hand with misapplying and even misinterpreting in my opinion, for they all can lead to non-biblical and even strange doctrines. Certain forms of theology would completely fall apart without all three. From Herescope, Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is […]
Ethiopian Lutheran Church disfellowships Evangelical Lutheran Church of America
Source The Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (Place of Jesus) has severed all ties with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), according to an ELCA press release.

Spiritual Gifts
I’ve enjoyed the teachings of Sam Storms for years. If you’ve never checked out his website please do. He is a solid bible-based teacher and his numerous Bible studies and articles reflect this. See: Enjoying God Ministries Below, an interview on the topic of spiritual gifts with a member of Desiring God Pod-Cast.
Quote of the Day
Peacemakers posted an interesting quote from George Mueller: George Mueller said: “My brother I am a constant reader of the Bible, and I soon found out what I was taught to believe (by Darby’s doctrine) did not always agree with what my Bible said. I came to see I must either part company with John Darby, […]
Guilt by Association
Would we judge Jesus guilty by association today? I dare say many would. Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your […]
John Piper on personal experience with exorcism
Renowned pastor and preacher John Piper shared about his “only and the most extraordinary” experience exorcizing a demon in his early ministry years, sharing details of dealing with a possessed female college student. The reformed theologian who recently stepped down as senior pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minn., shared “a rare story” from […]
Lessons For Israel From An Ethiopian Man And Isaiah 53
Good Bible lesson at Soul Refuge There is a great passage of scripture which is found in the New Testament book of Acts that is very clear, regarding the prophecy from Isaiah 53, as it pertains to Jesus Christ. This would be a good passage of scripture to preach and expound on, at the annual CUFI […]
Christian Activity?
Wading through some of my email today I came upon Andrew Strom’s recent letter to his subscribers titled, Do Christians Love Guns. He makes some excellent points. I am writing this because I continue to believe that US Christians are being “driven” toward something very ugly. There is a lot of nasty rhetoric flying around that […]
The Muslims are Coming! Dust Off Your Bibles
Love the title of this post…and along with the mini-message below, it’s the quote of the day From Resting in His Grace, This should serve as a wake up call for Christianity (Romans 13:11). All we need to do for this to continue is keep doing what we’re doing… harboring the gospel of Jesus Christ, rather than […]
Spiritual Gifts and a Question for you…
Back in August of this year I received the link to this article within my feeds. After reading the article I decided to hold on to it in the hope of posting it some day, along with a personal comment and important question. The gist of the article can be summed up with this extensive […]
The Kingdom of God (4)
Matthew 25 is an important chapter when studying the Kingdom of God. Its important for what Jesus tells us concerning gaining entrance into the Kingdom, and just as important for what He doesn’t mention as a requirement. Take a moment to read it. The late Keith Green performing “The Sheep And The Goats” live from […]
The Kingdom of God (3) Postponement Theory
Two preachings of this Gospel (the Gospel of the Kingdom) are mentioned, one past, beginning with the ministry of John the Baptist, continued by our Lord and his disciples, and ending with the Jewish rejection of the King. The other is yet future (Matthew 24:14) during the great tribulation, and immediately preceding the coming of […]
The Kingdom of God (2)
Has your mind or heart ever been so full that reining in your thoughts in order to express them coherently is difficult? This is how this topic is affecting me. For the last two years the topic (the Kingdom of God) and what the term expressly means when used in God’s word, has been very […]
