Coaches and Referees
I’m looking for some Scripture feedback here. It relates to coaching, an office not found in the NT. Specifically I’m asking about the relations of a coach to an official during a game, that is, speaking to a referee so that he can hear you, which in that setting can be yelling and at least […]
I Thought They Believed This?
John MacArthur says this: Now I believe that basically speaking, rock music in and of itself is problematic—period. And I believe that for many reasons. One is: rock music is a product of a disoriented, despairing, drug-related sex-mad generation. There’s no question about that. The first big rock singer was Elvis Presley, who killed himself […]
Crossing Over: Proving the Resolve Trailer
John MacArthur recently wrote this: Let’s face it: Many of the world’s favorite fads are toxic, and they are becoming increasingly so as our society descends further in its spiritual death-spiral. It’s like a radioactive toxicity, so while those who immerse themselves in it might not notice its effects instantly, they nevertheless cannot escape the […]
How Did Jesus Motivate?
I’m not a fan of the WWJD movement because it is the wrong question. The right question is: What Did Jesus Do? That we know. Anything we think He would do should be based upon what we know He did do. In other words, WDJD. In today’s space, I will consider How Jesus Motivated? HDJM, […]
Gift Cards, Decorative Soaps, and Other Observations
Before my treadmill to nowhere pins the needle, I like gift cards. I like cash. I like a new tie. I like little baby ducks, centipedes that eat bats, and shoe goo. But am I wrong when I say that gift cards are simply cash with a limitation? For instance, two people exchange gift cards. […]
The Pot and the Kettle: MacArthur and Driscoll
John MacArthur, popular radio speaker, Christian author, and pastor of the Grace Church in Southern California, along with his associate Phil Johnson, have written a series of enlightening articles at their online magazine, Pulpit Live, on the “emerging church movement” (ECM). The latest article features a sharp criticism of Mark Driscoll (I would link him, […]
Do You Pray for an Outpouring of the Spirit?
Recently over at Sharper Iron, Pastor Joe Roof posted this statement: When I used the term revival, I am speaking of a needed outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the people of God. Evidences of genunine revival are found in places like Acts 2 and Ezra. What happened in the days of Josiah was […]
A Case Study in Fake Tolerance Part 2
Since this is part 2, perhaps I should assume that you know that part 1 would be good to read to get a head start. I am breaking-down an article written about me related to a tract I wrote and passed out in El Sobrante, CA. I will italicize the source and comment in regular […]
A Case Study in Fake Tolerance
I need to use this space to argue. Stick with me. A new wave of Sikh mail has come to me in response to a second round of articles written by one of them to keep alive something certain Sikhs protest that they want to abolish. Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet: “The lady doth protest too […]
Fiction Is Stranger Than Truth
There they go again! Man must leave earth to survive. I agree. Man (me) will leave earth to survive. And it won’t be with the Hale-Bop Comet. Did they find the samples for this experiment from the aisles at Costco Warehouse? “The samples we found strongly support the single impact hypothesis,” said Ken MacLeod. MAKE […]
