Jesus was a revolutionary leader of a Jewish reform movement against religious legalism and political oppression. Years later, Paul came around and elevated him to a god-like status. The latter is the Christianity we’ve inherited.
This is the argumentation of the day when it comes to refuting Christianity. And I believe it’s fueled by man’s hatred [...]

It’s true - once you stop, it’s hard to start again. Blogging is supposed to be fun, and I believe it is, but it can be labor-some as well. It’s hard to imagine I’d feel that way knowing that this little blog isn’t that popular, but I guess once you’re on the web you heap [...]

Boy, time surely does fly! It’s almost February and I’m still not ready for the re-launch. But I’m close. So, in the meantime, I’ve got a semi-re-launch here, with a a bit of a new look and the riddance of some dead weight (TJ). Don’t worry, TJ and I are still friends! This was a [...]

The Real Meaning of Christmas by John MacArhur

A friend of mine gave me the book, Crazy Love, by Francis Chan and it was a tremendous exhortation that I desperately needed. I see the hand of God as He is raising servants in this day for His glory. Pastor Chan is one of those whom God has gifted to speak a specific message [...]

Although I have argued that the War on Christmas is a distraction from the main battle, I want to make clear that I also think Christmas time is a wonderful time of heightened spiritual interest. A friend referred me to this video, an encouragement to which we can all take heed this holiday Christmas season.

Few of us have ever experienced the level of suffering that the New Testament encourages us to endure. Nevertheless, all of us have gone through something that has to some extent tried our faith. This video is a little longer than previous Sunday Videos, but it is well worth watching, considering the trying times we [...]

These are inspired by my attempt to hand a young Jewish man a gospel tract today and his annoyed response. It reminded me of a burden I had for the Jews that, by God’s grace, has been rekindled. The first one is real significant to me - it’s so cool that I found this video [...]

II Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
There’s a battle raging in America today. While some seek to “unite” the country, many are becoming increasingly polarized from one another. The battle of the worldviews is culminating [...]

I guess it’s not “encouraging” to think about distortions of true Christianity, but oftentimes false teaching is used to stir us to think more about the Truth and cherish it more. What is encouraging is the fact that, even though liberalism is alive and well in Christianity today, conservatism is surging. Dr. Michael Horton’s new [...]

This is the last Encouraging Sunday Video before this historic election. Let not your heart be troubled. Here, Piper reminds us of our priority as Christians in this world:

      

      

The things that spew forth from the mouth and pen of Brian McLaren, leader of the emergent church, are far from “encouraging.” But take encouragement this Sunday from the refutation from Way of the Master Radio’s Todd Friel. He’s good.

      

      

      

This is in no way intended to be a political blog. But, let’s face it, the election is on everyone’s mind. However, there are a number of things that are making a big difference in this year’s election that really should not matter at all. I think it would be profitable to mention a few of those [...]
