Francis Beckwith just published his alibi for his reversion to Roman Catholicism: Return to Rome: Confessions of an Evangelical Catholic (Brazos 2009).This is one those books that’s important, not for what it says, but for who says it. It’s a celebrity endorsement for Roman Catholicism, like an ad Paris Hilton’s favorite lip-gloss.It’s not that I’m comparing Beckwith and Hilton; rather, I’m comparing one consumer with another—the type of consumer who rushes out to buy a product because her favorite pop star uses the same product. And, in the context of Catholicism, there’s s... [read more]

The Southern Baptist Convention just continues its drift further into hypocrisy and outright apostasy and this but one more pathetic example of man-centered “worship.” This new piece from Apprising Ministries brings out that we’re rapidly speeding toward a time when the very real possibility looms larger that proclaiming the exclusivity of the Gospel will be outlawed due to hate crime laws. Well, if the leaders within the ancient church were as effete and afraid of their own spiritual shadows as the timid folk in positions of authority within evangelical “Prote... [read more]

The humanists push for “freedom,” but having no Christian consensus to contain it, that “freedom” leads to chaos or to slavery under the state (or under an elite). Humanism, with its lack of any final base for values or law, always leads to chaos. It then naturally leads to some form of authoritarianism to control the chaos. Having produced the sickness, humanism gives more of the same kind of medicine for a cure. With its mistaken concept of final reality, it has no intrinsic reason for being interested in the individual, the human being. Its natural interest is the two collectives... [read more]

Pastor G. Mark Sumpter of Faith Presbyterian Church in Grants Pass tells of the relationship he had with Jim Jones in this moving letter addressed to Jim’s wife and kids: Dear Kelly, Willow and Holly, God brought me into contact with your beloved husband and wonderful father in the summer of 2006. He caught my eye as he was ministering to people with gospel literature in a crowded area at Riverside Park in Grants Pass. I watched him with great interest. He was that soldier, with satchel strapped to his side, carrying munitions, the truth, to those in the battlefield of the world. Whe... [read more]

A false prophet is one who claims to teach the truth from God and His Word, but who actually teaches from the counsel of his or her own heart. God is forever unchanging. He is immutable. His ways never change. His standards never change. At the time of Ezekiel, the kingdom of Judah had become consumed with idolatry. The people mixed Temple worship of YHWH with the worst forms of idol worship. They had taken on the culture and religion of the nations around them. Their culture had become pluralized. They were no longer a separate and unique people from the rest of the nations. The mechanism ... [read more]

Dr. Mohler writes concerning Paul’s witness in Acts 17, This text reminds us that a proper Christian apologetic begins in spiritual concern, not in intellectual snobbery or scorn. We preach Christ, not because Christianity is merely a superior philosophy or worldview, nor because we have been smart enough to embrace the Gospel, but because we have met the Savior, we have been claimed by the Gospel, we have been transformed by the renewing of our minds. Taken from “You are Bringing Strange Things to Our Ears: Christian Apologetics for a Postmodern Age.” Published in SBTJ 5 ... [read more]

This has been a beautiful Fall in East Tennessee. The mountains have been absolutely gorgeous! So, I’ve changed the picture at the top of this page. I hope you enjoy it. You might be interested to know that I did nothing to the picture with any editing software. That’s just the way it looked when I took the picture.

So many of you expressed enthusiastic appreciation for the ministry of David Robertson when he was here in October preaching our Evangelism Conference, I thought you might like to read his prayer letter.November 2008Dear Brother/Sister in Christ,I am sorry that it has taken me so long to send another prayer/newsletter but I am conscious that you probably get swamped with e-mails etc. Anyway, as we move towards the end of 2008, I would like to bring you up to date with what is happening and to thank you for, and urge you to continue, your prayers. I had thought that things would quieten down... [read more]

“Pastor” Ed Young, Jr. talks about s-e-x *tee hee* with a CNN reporter who is rather perplexed about it all. Yeah, we know that’s just never talked about in today’s seeker sensitive evangelicalism. CRN wants you to note the irony of Young having a toilet on stage with him; and, we agree with the reporter who says this is “a pearl in a pig stye.”

Pyromaniacs gives us our “weekly dose of Spurgeon.” As Spurgeon begins you should recognize an all too familiar theme common to our day as well: Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it “the Church of the Bigoted”… The more things change the more the Devil stays the same…

Fascinating interview with John Fesko and the team at Christ the Center iabout the subject of Reformed Justification.  Fesko recently published a book ‘Justification; Understanding the Classic Reformed Doctrine’, with the intention of providing a resource that is a one-stop shop, so to speak, on Reformed, historical Justification. Fesko touches on N.T. Wrights error as well as the position of the federalist vision.  Fesko argues very convincingly that the death Adam faced at the fall was not primarily a postponment of physical death.  He brings Scripture to support an &lsqu...

If you’ve never heard R.
