When I Left Fundamentalism Part Ten
Over a year ago now, I did a series at Jackhammer on evangelicalism and fundamentalism (pt. 1, p. 2, pt. 3). You should check it out. In the third part, I wrote this: For pastors, scripture has isolated the Lord as the one to please. Yet, you won’t likely feel that approval of the Lord. […]
“We’re on the Verge of a Great, Great Depression”
This is something I’ve thought for awhile and wondered if I’m just being pessimistic. We’re lying to ourselves as a country and we’ve been lying to ourselves for a few decades, one economic bubble popping after another. Put on your seatbelts.
Check These Out
I’ve taught history for over 20 years, and government and economics as well. Here are two columnists I’ve enjoyed reading during that time and two of their recent columns that are very interesting and representative of what they have written. Enjoy.Thomas Sowell Shelby Steele
What About Logic and King James Onlyism?
On a fundamentalist blog comment thread, someone wrote this: On a side note, I am curious about the “logic” of taking “logic” lessons from anyone in the KJV only camp. Seems a little “illogical” don’t you think? Nobody answered his question, so I will. A King James Only position is the only logical position to […]
Evangelical or Fundamentalist Pharisaism part two
The Pharisees were religious liars. We live in a world of lies. Satan is a liar and he also happens to be the prince of this world, so we can expect there to be lies everywhere. That’s why none of us can be naive. Recently we watched the Harold Camping fiasco in which he told […]
Evangelical or Fundamentalist Pharisaism
Evangelicals like to label who is a Pharisee. Not them, of course. Usually it’s someone who has different standards than they do. I ask you to consider the following with this regard. In Luke 11, Jesus was invited to lunch with a Pharisee. He went and sat himself down without the ceremonial hand-washing required by […]
Family Radio: Non Prophet, But Plenty of Profit
We can’t believe everything we see or hear from the mainstream news media, but CBS reported that in 2002, Harold Camping and Family Radio were worth $22,695,306. This non-profit organization, in 2008 was now worth $117,634,384. And then you read that they spent only one million dollars on advertising for the end of the world […]
Use Camping’s Prediction as a Great Evangelistic Opportunity
My Baptist brethren, Harold Camping’s prediction of the end of the world is a great opportunity to evangelize his followers, many of whom are unconverted. If brethren in Baptist churches all over the country go to events where his people will be in the next couple of days, when Sunday rolls around and Mr. Camping […]
Transcendence, Immanence, and Culture part one
Everyone in the realm of biblical thinking affirms both the transcendence and immanence of God. Both are true. The latter, however, is dependent on the former. For one, God does not condescend without being both separate and distinct from His creation. The place from which He descends is higher and outside the realm of His […]
