    Are you active?

    Unfortunately I am moving at the moment, so I haven't been able to be too active lately. I'll start school at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in a little over 2 weeks.

    What Is The Gospel?

    To me, the Gospel is the answer to the dilemma of Christian existance. "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD" - Proverbs 17:15 It is a sin to justify the wicked... "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that...

    The Holy Spirit

    Do they believe that the book of Hebrews extends to the Church? If so, then what about Jeremiah 31/Hebrews 8, the "new covenant"? "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I...

    Paul Washer hits another one out of the park...

    I just finished watching a sermon of Washer's where he says that he is a "five-points Spurgeonist"

    Interesting Article from an SBC Executive

    This is exactly how MacArthur puts it. Pure sovereign election and human responsibility. I would have post the clip but I don't have enough posts, just search youtube for "John MacArthur election". It's 6 mins 21 secs long.

    Paul Washer hits another one out of the park...

    Alot of people don't like listening to Paul Washer because they say that he makes them feel bad. These people have no idea that that is the power of the Holy Spirit bringing conviction. I have sympathy for people who think that God exists to make them feel tingly and giddy. God is Holy. Keep...

    Just have to get this off my chest...

    You seem to have very strong feelings about this, and you're clueless why. Perhaps God is laying something on your heart, some sort of reason or lesson to be learned from this. For example, think about all the people walking around in this world with a 'hole' inside of them. Think of all the...

    Rick Warren

    I have as much invested in being right as anyone who is trying to rightly divide the Word. You're interpretation of the parable is not accurate. When it comes to the Christian walk, Christians do not take the initiative in anything. "Jesus gave them this answer: 'I tell you the truth, the Son...

    Rick Warren

    I couldn't care less what the "Religious Right" is doing, I look to Christ and His Holy example, which flies in the face of your "God helps those who help themselves" philosophy, a belief that is clearly against Biblical teaching. Where is the faith in helping yourself? What does God have to do...

    Concerning a specific Luther quote

    "As long as we are here, we have to sin" "This life is not the dwelling place for righteousness" These above statements take a clearly fatalistic view concerning the Holy life. It's as if there's no point in even trying, because you can't accomplish it.

    Concerning a specific Luther quote

    I definitely agree that Christ's sacrifice paid for the penalty of sin, and that we are forgiven. But what about the relationship with God that we are called to experience during this life, a relationship that we are free to pursue once we repent and sin no more? Aren't we to try to be Holy as...

    Concerning a specific Luther quote

    "In another way what he is saying is not to worry too much about sin" This is what I'm speaking of. If sin separates us from God, how can we not worry about it?

    Concerning a specific Luther quote

    alright, so I've been doing some research and came across a quote from Martin Luther that has put me in a state of shell shock. Here it is: "Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly. For he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are...

    Rick Warren

    "I am not interested in interfaith dialogue but interfaith projects," said the pastor of the 24,000-member Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., who is widely known for his bestseller "The Purpose-Driven Life." "Talk is cheap ... but love is something we do together," he added. "As the two...
