The Church
Self-elevated Little Popes
Christian Research Network By A.W. Pink Biographer Iain Murray has said of evangelist and scholar A.W. Pink that “the widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century.” The teachings of Pink led to an increase in expository preaching and […]
Franklin Graham and The Little Foxes
Many Christians wouldn’t call it necessary but would see it as compromising the faith. Shortly after Mitt Romney met with Billy and Franklin Graham earlier this month, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association quietly removed Mormonism from the list of religious cults on the organization’s website and then ran an ad in newspapers around the country urging […]
Where are the Christian Voices?
Yes, that’s my question also; where are the Christian voices? Rick Frueh asks the question at his blog here I’ll also be so bold to ask, where’s your voice been my fellow Christian? For in reality your very silence has been deafening…
“Fear Not, Little Flock”: The King’s Promise that Presidents Can’t Match
Good article by Michael Horton, If our hopes indicate what we value most—what keeps us going, then our fears reveal the same in reverse. What do we need (or think we need) so much that we would be unable to go without it? And what do we believe in so much that if it doesn’t […]
The Institutional Church is Not Coming back
A sobering message by Rick Frueh, “The extent to which the western church has fallen away from Christ and the gospel is climactic and so deep, that it is almost beyond belief that the church at large could or would ever come back to following Christ” You can Read it Here
Perry Noble’s Remarks, Not So Noble
You may recall a post earlier this week, the Quote of the Day, which contained a small excerpt from an article by Perry Noble, “It’s sad,” Pastor Perry Noble of NewSpring Church in South Carolina wrote in his blog published Wednesday. “…[B]ut I believe that there would be way more celebration in many mainline churches […]
Jewish Groups Withdraw from Roundtable after Mainline Protestants Ask Congress to Investigate Israel
Interesting item, “These denominations have a history of being anti-Israel in their pronouncements over the past three decades.” — Mark Tooley, IRD President WASHINGTON, Oct. 19, 2012; Several major Jewish organizations have canceled participation in the next meeting of a Christian-Jewish Roundtable after the Christian groups sent a letter to the U.S. Congress.

Top Christian Author and Apologetics Speaker Dinesh D’Souza, in Hot Water
You may recall a recent post in which I expressed sorrow at seeing Dinesh D’Souza’s despicable book & questionable documentary being (repeatedly) promoted at The Christian Post, along with my disbelief that he was being promoted as the featured speaker at what was claimed to be “America’s largest Annual Christian Apologetics Conference”. Well, it appears […]
CA$H COW$ & FAT CAT$: The Cult of Evangelical Leadership, Part 2
Herescope Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. (Ezekiel 34:20) Cash Cow: “A cash cow is a product or a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins…. A customer or organization that has no control over its spending.”[2] Fat […]
America – The Modern Golden Calf
Isn’t this sad? Billy Graham last night endorsed Mitt Romney for president, and shortly thereafter, his website was scrubbed of a statement Graham or his organization made calling Mormonism a “cult.” “It was an honor to meet and host Governor Romney in my home today, especially since I knew his late father former Michigan Governor […]
Sacred Cows and Stars: The Cult of Evangelical Leadership
Herescope “Most errors in matters of faith are contagious and infectious; the reason is, because ordinarily an error is broached by some, and entertained by others, in satisfaction to some lust, as favouring some evil desire and inclination of our minds, and so naturally pleaseth those who have the same evil propensions.” – Matthew Poole[2] […]
FRC joins with Church to ‘Actively Pray and Work for the Defeat of Barack Obama’
Right Wing groups like the Family Research Council, along with more and more Churches, have really stepped up their fight to do away with the separation of Church and State. In their goal to “restore” America they are working hard to change America’s form of government from a Democracy to a Theocracy. Rick, at Following Judah’s Lion, […]
Election Day Communion vs. Pulpit Freedom Sunday
Don’t know anything about Election day Communion, but the article is interesting. A few weeks ago, I started getting spam from Jim Garlow, the pastor of the Skyline megachurch in Lemon Grove, Calif., about the Pulpit Freedom Sunday initiative that he has been spearheading with Glenn Beck. This Sunday, about 1,500 pastors across the country […]
Rally Draws Both Crowds and Apostasy Concerns

A Lesson From the Lakeland Revival
Tim Challies of Informing the Reforming blog has written a very insightful article. The article is very good as well as many of the comments. A couple of weeks ago I invested an hour and a half in watching Lakeland: The Movie, a documentary about Todd Bentley and the Lakeland “Revival.” You may remember that […]
Letter from Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani
Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to Your Name be glory, for Your faithfulness, for Your loyalty… Psalm 115:1 Salaam ! (Peace be upon you !) I glorify and give grace to the Lord with all my heart. I am grateful for all the blessings that He gave me during my whole life. […]
The relentless pursuit to discredit God’s Word
Glad I took a couple day’s break from the computer. It temporarily spared me from the ridiculous “breaking” news story of Jesus having a wife. I haven’t went through my feeds yet to see what fellow bloggers have written about this but did receive Albert Mohler’s words on the topic, and will say I agree; This […]
When Heaven Touches Earth
This has been previously posted twice (2007, 2009) but I want to share it again…. This evening I was reading one of my favorite chapters in the old testament, 2 Chronicles 5, and again found myself in awe. Each time I read it, it never fails to stun me anew that this same power recorded […]
Greg Laurie: Hope, Change Can Only Come Through Spiritual Solution
He’s right Hoping for positive change in the United States that he says can only come through a spiritual solution, evangelist Greg Laurie is spearheading Harvest America planned for Sunday. It is his largest evangelism event in the more than three decades of his ministry’s existence. (continued here)
Pull Yo’ Pants Up!
I like this, This preacher drives a point home to the young men in his local fellowship: “Pull yo’ pants up!” Preaching from the text of Ecclesiastes 11:9, he’s got my ‘Amen.’ 5 PT. Salt: Pull Yo’ Pants Up!
Quote of the Day
It was not an easy task which the Church faced when she came down from that upper room. To carry on the work of a man who was known to have died—to have died as criminals die—and more than that, to persuade others that this man had risen again from the dead and that He […]
Boycotts – More Carnal Weapons
Great article by Rick Frueh at Following Judah’s Lion Men and women have risked their lives for Jesus Christ…Even today there are men and women whose lives are at risk daily… But in today’s evangelical paradise what makes the news are spurious little attempts to appear as if we are confronting evil. No longer will […]
Discernment Run Amuck
Rick Frueh has posted a thoughtful message folks. I sincerely hope you will check it out. The article Rick mentions was something I read yesterday and was very saddened to see posted at such a reputable discernment website. We have to be so careful folks, that we do not confuse true biblical discernment (and apologetics) […]
Christian America and the Kingdom of God
If you’re ever looking for a good book which includes an excellent history of American Fundamentalism, I recommend R.T. Hughes’ book Christian America and the Kingdom of God. You may recall I posted a few thoughts about the book after first reading it in 2010, but for whatever reason felt prompted to read it again last week. […]
Nigeria is becoming the new killing field
As the attacks on Nigeria’s Christians continued in full force this past week, a particularly grisly attack saw fifty believers burned to death at their pastor’s home, where they had fled for refuge from a terrorist attack. “Fifty of our church members were killed in the church building where they had fled to take refuge.
