Rock the River?
In THIS article, Baptist Press reports on the latest Franklin Graham Crusade. I have copied two excerpts below. There were more than 65,000 in attendance, around 800 spiritual decisions made, 538 salvations, 300 decibels of sound, I was wearing 100 SPF sunscreen, I went through four quarts of water, and it all made for one [...]
Spit out the Lure!
I recently ran across an article at The Berean Call, written by T.A. McMahon. It is entitled “Weaning Evangelicals Off The Word” and is worth reading in its entirety. This portion seemed particularily pungent. Experientialism (what feels right to man) is a leaven working its way through the entire church as it undermines biblical truth. [...]
A different type of man…
A while ago I published an article on Biblical Manhood. Since that time I have been looking for men who emulate that Biblical model. Sadly, there are not many in the public eye that meet that standard. Our land is filled with pretenders, players, and perverts, but not many real men. We have Diotrophes and [...]
More Reasons to Quit
Recently I posted Another Reason to Quit, a plea for Christians to turn off the TV and DVD players. Well, this week I went to the local corner video store to find something reasonable to watch with my children. After 35 minutes of perusing EVERY AISLE in the store, I found ONE video that would [...]
Rotten Fruit from Dead Roots
This story about a 13 year old boy in the UK who is the alleged father of a child from a 15 year old girl is making news. While I originally saw it in the National Post, there have been many other outlets that have noted it also. No “Christian Commentators” have yet mentioned this, [...]
Darwin and Dummies
In this article, the Gallup polling company asked people whether or not they believed in evolution, and then correlated the answers to their religious fervour and education level. (OK, now go click the link and read the poll. Seriously, you need to!) The report can be summed up as follows: Only 40% of Americans believe [...]
Selling out for Sports
OK. Before I rant, let me state that I have nothing against football, hockey, soccer or any other sport as long as it is kept in proper perspective. Here on the eve of another shameless spectacle of heathen idol worship, the Baptist Press has capitualated to overwhelming cultural pressure. Why is it that Christians lack [...]
How cold is it INSIDE today?
OK, so I am getting a taste of my own medicine today. We are in the middle of a cold snap, and yesterday’s low was -36C (-32F) with a wind chill temperature of -48C (-54F). As I thought about the “cold,” I remembered that scientists do not define cold, but rather define temperature by measuring [...]
Junk for Jesus
Do you know what “junk for Jesus” is? I’m not talking about “Jesus Junk,” like the thousands of religious-themed items marketed at the less discerning. I mean junk given for God’s work by well-meaning people. You know what I mean: toasters from 1950, chairs from the ’70s, etc. Every pastor knows what I am talking [...]
I HATE HALLOWEEN!!!!
The fall is upon us here in Northern Alberta. It is my favorite time of year outside, and the worst time inside. Yellow leaves, crisp air, and the yearly horrors of Halloween. Already the pagan orgy of filth and gore has foisted itself upon our retinas, forcing my children to walk around in Canadian Tire [...]
