As we look at Christians who evangelize today, it is clear to see that many are ashamed of the gospel. Do we understand what it really means to evangelize? We would declare that to the degree a person is biblical, determines the sort of gospel they will preach. We have had great examples throughout history of great preachers like George Whitfield, who believed in the Doctrines of Grace. ...
This is Part 2 of a 5 Part Series by Pastor Glenn Leatherman of Grace Covenant Community Church in Brea, CA. Part 1 can be read here. Part 2: A Flat Bible Perspective Erroneously Tries To Arrive At Interpretations And Definitions Independently From The Context Of The Verse In what sense does Jesus mean that he and the Father are "one"?: One in Person? Now how does our avoidance of the ...
Emergents love false antithesis. They love to pit two non-contradictory concepts against one another in the form of a question. They'll ask, "Experience or Truth?" Or they'll ask, "Orthodoxy or Orthopraxis?" To the Christian, these are stupid questions. They're stupid because the question reveals a severe lack of biblical understanding. Take, for instance: Experience or Truth? I was so impressed with how D.A. Carson dealt with this, I blogged ...
All racist theologies have the same basic core ideas and methodology. Thus it does not really matter if we are talking about the KKK, the Nation of Islam or Black liberal theology, their focus is always on skin and not sin; race and not grace; gossip and not gospel. Racism is always focused on the outward instead of the inward because it cannot deal with the root problem ...

Dear wandering internet surfer, you have come across a question not asked by today’s nominal evangelical preachers who compromise truth in order to make people feel happy and good about themselves. Does God hate you? Think about that for a moment. Many of you out there see God as the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man who loves everyone and would never send anyone to hell. At the risk of ...
Here's an article that Rosanna Montoya wrote for us. Read her story and see if you have ever had to sit through on of "these" church services. I enjoyed the part about the Jesus puppy! Let her know what you think in the comments section! Make Room For Jesus? By Rosanna Montoya Christmas has come and gone and some of us may have been invited to a Church Christmas Program of some ...
While driving home today, I tuned in to 107.9FM (Calvary Chapel's KWVE - the Wave of Living Water). The show Pastor's Perspective was airing; a live call-in format where listeners call and ask the panel of pastors questions that the pastors try to answer. Towards the end of today's show, a guy called in from Hawthorne, a bedraggled fellow, going through a difficult time in life. He mentioned ...
The understanding of the biblical doctrine of regeneration has been lost by many Christians today. This failure to fully understand regeneration starts with a failure to understand that regeneration is entirely a work of God. The problem of presenting a coherent argument for God being active and man as passive in regeneration has sometimes been a tough one for me, especially when faced with a brief meeting between ...
"No tendras dioses ajenos delante de mi. No haras para ti escultura, no imagen alguna de cosa que esta arriba en los cielos, ni abajo en la tierra, ni en las aguas debajo de la tierra. No te inclinaras a ellas, ni las serviras porque yo soy Jehova tu Dios fuerte, celoso, que visito la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generacion ...
La meta para nosotros en estudiar este pasaje es entender profundamente lo que Pablo queria communicar al creyente. Hoy en dia hay una corriente de humanismo dentro de la fe Cristiana. En Corintios 1:30, Pablo nos dice que es solamente por la obra de Cristo que podemos ver spiritualmente la palabra que nos da la vida eterna. Ahora nos dice halgo sumamente importante. "El cual se hizo para ...
