It was a year ago this week that I first mentioned the Ministry Resource List. Since then, this little idea has been a tremendous encouragement to us. Those of you who have assisted with resources through this means don’t know how edifying it is to know that there are folks out there who want us to continue pressing forward doing

We received this e-mail this morning: Quit talking about the manhatten declaration. who cared…revelation says the millenium is 1000 years. amillenialism is false. Well there you go, folks! Bret Zagar has his priorities straight! Let’s not worry about that gospel stuff, let’s get that eschatology stuff right! I confess, I am thankful Bret noted that it is “Revelation” not “Revelations.”

I have been away this week attempting to do some studying on various topics, and writing on projects that I have simply not been able to get to while at home. I am working on a chapter in response to Frank Beckwith’s arguments in denial of sola fide, and I am also working on the expansion of the book refuting

Many had been wondering when RC Sproul would comment on the MD, and as most of you know, he has finally broken his silence. He strongly asserts a direct connection between the MD and the ECT, citing from comments made by Colson which I had not read.

For my tenth consecutive year I will be visiting the brethren at the Covenant of Grace Church in St. Charles, Missouri, beginning Thursday evening, 7pm. We have tried, a number of times, to arrange for a debate there, but can’t find opponents. So, I will be playing clips from the folks we can’t get to debate the subject, and responding

I am talking to Rich about doing another DL on Wednesday of this week since Thursday is a travel day and I will be out of touch all of next week (i.e., no DLs at all). We would do it at the regular Tuesday time. I was on Mike Abendroth’s “No Compromise Radio” program this past weekend. He rode 180

Yeah, no intelligent design here. Just random processes over time. Yup. Sure. Just awesome.

I just noticed that Zazzle is having a $9 off tie sale starting right now. Why should you care? Well, some of you have seen the ties I’ve designed for various debates that have biblical manuscripts or the like on them. For that biblical-geek in your life, might be a great Christmas gift, and $9 off is really good. I

Well, it’s nice to have company on this. 🙂 The Manhattan Declaration Tuesday, Nov 24, 2009 (By John MacArthur) Here are the main reasons I am not signing the Manhattan Declaration, even though a few men whom I love and respect have already affixed their names to it: • Although I obviously agree with the document’s opposition to same-sex marriage,

I was directed to some comments made regarding the concept of unity and Rome’s constant attack upon the Scriptures and the doctrine of sola scriptura. Someone had made mention of my home church, which is partly what drew my attention. A comment was left by Joey, who said, Your comparison is not well structured. First, you are comparing a single
