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 ...

Daniel Chew, a dear Reformed brother of mine in Singapore, draws an interesting parallel between New Calvinism and New Evangelicalism, the movement New Calvinism emerged from. Chew notes how one of New Evangelicalism's characteristic traits (being positive) has not been on the list of items needing reform by New Calvinists and as a result has crossed over into the New Calvinist movement becoming a characteristic trait shared with ...
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 ...

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 ...
2. Their Prophet Rather than hold to the Word of God as inerrant, infallible, and authoritative in everything it teaches, Jehovah's Witnesses place the Watchtower Society in this position, as their prophet. Their publications take precedence over Holy Scripture. The issue of authority is the second reason to reject Jehovah's Witnesses. The Watchtower is the Jehovah's Witnesses Pope. In July 15, 1960 on page 439 the Watchtower said it ...
Very recently, Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco was quoted as saying, “whether they like it or not.” What the mayor was referring to is the thrusting forth of same sex marriage by force upon Californians. Listen to the following commercial: So now, it is a couple of days since Election Day. The people have spoken and proposition 8 has passed, whether they like it or not! Homosexuals ...
