As mentioned in the thread Discussing The Manhattan Declaration, I posted an article by Dave Doran on CRN. If you click through you will find a link to the article where Doran writes about his recent experience with J.I. Packer's book Rediscovering Holiness, particularly the afterword “Holiness in the Dark: The Case of Mother Teresa.” Doran provides some critical commentary regarding Packer's affirmation of Mother Theresa as a ...
Former Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, and founder of Westminster Theological Seminary, J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937), wrote Christianity and Liberalism (1923), a classic treatment on the age old controversy between orthodox Christianity according to the Bible and Liberalism. Although Machen's refutation was written nearly a century ago, since he began with Scripture, stuck to it, and refuted that which contradicted it on the basis of ...
This is the second post of Pink's, The Sovereignty of God. Let the Lord minister to you as you read. "Perhaps the one Scripture which most emphatically of all asserts the absolute sovereignty of God in connection with His determining the destiny of His creatures, is the ninth of Romans. We shall not attempt to review ...

Many evangelicals, including those supposedly opposed to the emerging church movement might assume that Karl Barth was reliable as a guide to spiritual truth. They may read some of his works and agree with him prima facie as he speaks of God's revelation in Christ, the redemption/reconciliation through Christ, etc. They may even take Barth to represent orthodox biblical Christianity believing he defends Christ's "literal" resurrection according to ...
Matthew 14:29-31 (English Standard Version) He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"And when they ...
To Carry on the Leader Lineage - Hebrews 13:7 In Escondido, CA there is a school called Westminster Seminary, California. Whenever I am in the area and have some extra time, I make it a point to stop by the library on campus. Before I take the first book off of its shelf, I do a walk through and pay my respects. You see they have a collection of ...
1. Their History 2. Their Prophet 3. Their Hermeneutic (current) (4. Their Logic NEXT) Hermeneutics is the art and science of interpreting the Bible. It must be said that "most of their interpretations have nothing to do with the grammar or context" of the passage (Morey 34). They twist the Scripture up like a pretzel and are so good at it they deserve a Mary Lou Retton Award for the gymnastics they ...
To avoid Forsaking those whom Christ is Gathering ...not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:25, NASB) Have you ever asked an American Christian, "Are you a Soldier for Christ?" Next time you do, watch and listen carefully to their response. You will see hesitation, enlarged eyes, a step ...
Because if we are the Elect of God, we will... Assemble: Hebrews 10:19-25 Obey and Submit: Hebrews 13:7; 17 Hear, Act and Learn: 1Timothy 4:13, 16 Then, we can say we are being Built up by Christ and Empowered by the Holy Spirit. Have you ever gone about your day and ran into a "fellow believer" who participated in a very engaging theological conversation for hours? You find yourself wondering where this person ...
What is Apostasy? My dear readers, I find it interesting to note how we as believers of Messiah, when referring to Apostasy, quickly point of the Apostasy of others. But let us look and see what the Scriptures tell us in the Book of Hebrews: “Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living ...
The Christian Pastor today is mostly known for his positive messages. Church goers are more concerned with feeling good about themselves than being biblically motivated to holiness. Very seldom is the subject of Apostasy taught in the church today. As a result, thousands of souls gather together in churches across the world every Sunday to "worship" Jesus, while the pastors do not know the condition of the sheep. ...
