A Follow Up: Is Your Preaching Wimpy?

James White, February 26, 2006, Pastoral Theology

A couple of days ago I commented on an e-mail sent by someone who claimed they were becoming Roman Catholic because of me. I mentioned that I have seen this kind of e-mail from various groups, and in the few times I have been able to press the person for meaningful interaction, I have always found the claim less than

Just a Quick Note: ISP Failure

James White, February 26, 2006, Misc

Some may have noted the death of our website for a while yesterday, including this blog. ISP folks did something they weren’t supposed to and it took about twelve hours for them to figure out what it was. Anyway, our e-mail was interrupted during that time. I do not know if we lost any incoming mail or not. Both of

James White, February 26, 2006, Christian Worldview

The tagline for the new movie Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, is “love is a force of nature.” Unfortunately it is never explained what kind of love they are referring to. I am robbed of space to explain the entire story here. However, because of all the buzz around the Venice film festival movie, most of us

If You Dare Speak Up…

James White, February 24, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

The e-mail generated by posting the correspondence with Dr. Caner has been most enlightening. The majority have been very supportive and encouraging. Thankfully, my purpose in providing the article was not missed by the ones I am most concerned about. The contrast between the approach and methodology of the two sides has been clearly seen, just as it was in

Today on the DL

James White, February 23, 2006, The Dividing Line

Pretty much did what I expected on the DL today, though I also read my daughter Summer’s editorial from her school newspaper on Brokeback Mountain and took a phone call on the Caner situation. Here’s the program.

Back on American Soil

James White, February 23, 2006, Misc

I arrived home after midnight this morning (someone needs to help United Airlines deliver luggage at a small terminal in less than forty five minutes after a flight has landed), and haven’t been able to convince my body to sleep much, so here goes a day or two of jet-lag induced life. But a small cost for the wonderful time

The Intellectual Pit Bull of the Evangelical Church?

James White, February 23, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

That’s the description given of Ergun Caner of Liberty University, one which he seems to proudly wear on his own website. Today I read where Dr. Caner said, “Calvinists are much more heinous than Muslims…I assume it is because they are predestined to be….” It just seems to me that if someone is going to promote themselves as fearless and

Headed Home

James White, February 22, 2006, Personal

I have just a few minutes before we have to leave for Heathrow and the beginning of the journey home (if all the flights are on time, I will get home eighteen hours from now). What a wonderful time of preaching and ministry I’ve enjoyed over the past two weeks here. I do hope and pray the work here has

Greetings from Inverness

James White, February 19, 2006, Personal

Inverness, Scotland, is one of the fastest growing cities in all of Europe. Located at the mouth of Loch Ness, world famous for its elusive and shy inhabitant, “Nessie,” Inverness is a beautiful city on the banks of the River Ness. It is also my current location as I wind up my week ministering in Scotland. Today I ministered at

Of Course!

James White, February 17, 2006, Personal

When in Scotland…! Had a great time at a fine gentleman’s store in downtown Glasgow doing what everyone had challenged me to do ever since I visited the first time. Yes, they are quite comfortable, before everyone asks the obvious. No, I didn’t buy it. Yet. 🙂 It sure would look great on formal nights on a cruise! On a

English James…Scottish James?

James White, February 16, 2006, Personal

Well, we saw my English version a few days ago, but now I’ve been in Glasgow a few days. Last night I memorized a section of Robert Burns. So, today we went into downtown Glasgow and…well…did I, or didn’t I? You’ll have to check back tomorrow morning to find out!

Greetings from Glasgow

James White, February 15, 2006, Misc

Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland! Pastor Roger Brazier and I flew in yesterday, and we immediately got to work with a meeting last evening at the Reformed Baptist Church here on the subject of New Perspectivism. The meeting was very well attended, and the folks were most attentive and appreciative for the ministry of the Word. Tonight the series of meetings

Greetings from London

James White, February 12, 2006, Personal

Just a quick “hello” from London. I spoke five times yesterday, three at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in the morning for the seminarians (two sessions on the canon, one on John 6) and then twice at Day’s Lane Baptist Church on the authority of the Word and the primacy of preaching. This morning I did the Gospel service at the Edmonton

Tatbir with a Vengeance

James White, February 10, 2006, Islam

The British Daily Mail today featured an entire page of photos from around the Muslim world documenting the Shia holy day of Ashura. Devotees self-flagellate with whips, chains, and knives, seeking to cover themselves in their own blood, an act called tatbir. This year’s observance has been greatly increased in fervor by the “Muhammad Cartoon” farce (note that there are

Dawkins: Fundamentalist Materialist

James White, February 9, 2006, General Apologetics

While visiting here in London I got a chance to watch the second of the two Richard Dawkins anti-religion pieces. Richard Dawkins is the classic fundamentalist Darwinist: he can’t see how he is a caricature of the very things he pillories. You can even hear the awe and worship in his voice when he speaks of Darwin and genetics. Just

Woops!

James White, February 8, 2006, The Dividing Line

I didn’t actually forget to link to the DL yesterday: Rich is working at the new office today and forgot to upload the .ram file for the DL. When he gets back to a computer, this will be the link. I discussed compatibilism vs. libertarianism, and likewise played a clip from Dave Hunt denying original sin, then took calls. Keep

A Quick Comparison

James White, February 8, 2006, Islam

As I head out this morning for my flight to Heathrow I caught a segment on the Today show on NBC regarding The Da Vinci Code. I couldn’t help but compare and contrast the response Christians have had to this deeply blasphemous attack upon the very heart of their faith and a dozen small cartoons featuring Mohammed and the response

Preparing for Travel

James White, February 6, 2006, Misc

As I have noted previously, I will be ministering in the UK beginning this week, first in London, then moving north to Glasgow and Inverness. I will be doing my best to blog while traveling, but I honestly am not putting any pressure on myself to keep to any particular schedule since I cannot guarantee any particular level of Internet

And the Insanity Goes On

James White, February 4, 2006, Islam

Are these Muslims burning an embassy merely “radicals” or is there something about the very core and heart of Islam that gives rise to this kind of behavior? What kind of spirit leads people to wish to behead someone for drawing a caricature that, let’s be honest, is significantly less insightful than say, the picture of the father carrying his

Followers of the Religion of Peace

James White, February 3, 2006, Islam

The pictures do speak for themselves. Where is the counter demonstration from the “majority of peaceful Muslims”? And I see the State Department of the United States has also condemned the cartoons…could someone link me to where they condemn the blasting of Christianity, the Bible, Jesus Christ, etc., that takes place daily in almost all of our newspapers?

Yesterday on the DL…

James White, February 3, 2006, The Dividing Line

Sorry, forgot the link (it’s always easy to figure it out…just add one number to the last one, until you get to 23, then start over again): spent the first 25 minutes on 2 Cor. 4:4 and Dr. Hartley’s view of the meaning of “god of this world,” and then we took calls the rest of the program.

Oh Good Grief!

James White, February 3, 2006, Simply Silly

Phil Johnson has been keeping a closer eye on the End of the Spear stuff than I’ve had time to, and obviously reads more widely in the blogosphere than I do, so this article is a must read. Good grief, what a royal mess! Can’t the liberal media read more than a few paragraphs and track with a context? Or

Excellent Resource

James White, February 2, 2006, General Apologetics

Jeff Downs is the Internet’s Apologetics Info Guy. If he doesn’t know it, it can’t be known. He has put together the Countercult Apologetics Journal. I would dearly like to have contributed to it, but this little thing about traveling around and doing debates throughout the year really cuts into your article writing time. I have so many articles running

Thursday Morning Odds and Ends

James White, February 2, 2006, Misc

My quick blog run and e-mail review netted some pretty odd stuff this morning. First, it is amazing to watch the rioting, armed thuggery, etc., associated with the publishing of caricatures of Mohammed in Danish newspapers, and now newspapers across Europe. Michelle Malkin has the entire story. Muslims attacking EU offices with guns, demonstrations in the streets, and all

The Bankruptcy of Islamic Apologetics Final

James White, February 2, 2006, Islam

We close out this brief series–one I have found particularly interesting personally, especially in light of the uncritical use of scholarship by the wide spectrum of Islamic apologists–with a discussion of the final element of the “argument” borrowed from Bart Ehrman by Abdullah, cited last week, that regarding Theodore of Mopsuestia. Citations of early Christian writers are notoriously popular on
