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).

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 […]

Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 6, ”..as workers together with Him (God)……We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

Does Protesting Gay Marriage Advance the Gospel?
Something to think about… quote, Before you read this, if you aren’t familiar with me, you need to know that I am a Christian who struggles with homosexuality.

Bill Keller, center-stage
If interested you can read the article, Televangelist Counters Ground Zero Mosque with Christian Center But what interested me was a comment left by a reader, in response to the article, And then maybe we can do a remake of “West Side Story” and have the Christians in one gang and the Muslims in the […]

This is the message (part 1) which was linked to in the article, and the basis for why the group, Concerned Citizens for the First Amendment are planning to picket outside John MacArthur’s […]
“God give us back the real thing..”
Do not believe that the common Christianity of the present age will carry anybody to heaven. It is a counterfeit and a sham. It does not make men to differ from their fellows, it pretends to faith and has none, talks about love and does not show it, brags of truth and evaporates it into […]
Holy Boldness
Peter Cartwright (1785-1872) was probably America’s most colorful circuit riding preacher. Crowds flocked to hear him. Throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois, Cartwright preached to hosts of men and women, speaking three hours at a stretch, several times a week. The conviction in his booming voice could make women weep and strong men tremble. It is […]
The New Ecumenism
Very good post by Phil Johnson on the issues concerning the Manhattan Declaration. What sinners in this decaying culture need is redemption and spiritual rebirth, not merely sounder moral logic and more convincing rational arguments about why their sin is bad… ..the gospel—not natural law, moralistic logic, philosophical reasoning, or political strategizing, but the gospel—is […]
