Pastor Marty Fields of Westminster Presbyterian Church believes that it is: The first crack in the church growth edifice came a couple of years ago when church growth advocate George Barna expressed frustration that – since the full-blown implementation of church growth principles 20 years ago – there has been no net growth in the Christian church to speak of;
I grew up listening to Family Radio, but not by choice. My parents loved the music. Any time we were in the car, chances are that would be the station blaring through the back seat speakers. I suffered through till the invention of the Walkman, when teenage rebellion finally had a way to escape the soft sounds of Family Radio.
“When you have to come to a Methodist for a biblical sermon, that’s pitiful.” HT: Pistueo Those are the sobering words of William H. Willimon, a self-designated liberal preacher who offers a well-deserved rebuke of “conservative” preachers who, despite all their arguments for “connecting”, meeting “felt needs”, “contextualizing”, and (insert fadish buzzword here), have ended up sounding indistinguishable from liberal
I haven’t seen wind like this in a long time, I really haven’t. This morning during breakfast I heard predicted gusts of 110km/hr, and I believe it! But, despite the somewhat inclement weather (at least it is not overly cold), I had a wonderful day today. But first… The morning after I arrived in London I made the trek down
In contrast to John Ryland’s profound thoughts on the office of Christian preacher, I would like to share a clip from a modern pastor who mocks nameless congregants for wanting to go deeper into God’s word: HT: The Museum of Idolatry In this clip, after mocking the congregant by using a derogatory word against them, Perry Noble, demonstrating pastoral patience
What a different world of ministry we live in. Would that the Lord raise up a thousand ministers who held these insights: The office of the Christian ministry, rightly understood, is the most honourable, and important, that any man in the whole world can ever sustain; and it will be one of the wonders and employments of eternity to consider

Phil Johnson stole my article! OK, not exactly. I was, however, working on an article with some very similar observations as Phil in observing the danger of “contextualization” without restraint, which seems to be the fare of the day. He noted some similarities with the problems the Corinthians faced with some relevant concerns for the modern church. I will gladly
Here is the link to watch the debate at 9pm London time (you can figure the time out from there, but if you can’t, click here) on Revelation TV. Enjoy!
When Dr. White is away I like to go through some of my old cassette tapes and dig out a few tidbits many of you probably have never heard before. Here’s a 1999 interview Dr. White did on Janet Parshall’s show on the topic, The Forgotten Trinity. The Forgotten Trinity Interview 6/16/99 Click here to order Dr. White’s book, The

Charles Spurgeon reminds us that we must always be mindful of our surroundings: She is the church militant here below, and both in suffering and in service she is made to prove that she is in an enemy’s country. She is contending for the truth against error, for the light against darkness: till the day break and the shadows flee
These are the main events Dr. White is scheduled to speak at while in the United Kingdom… COMPLETED Feb 2…London, England…9PM. Revelation TV King James Only Controversy Debate, White vs Moorman*. With 2011 marking the 400th anniversary of the KJV, this intriguing debate will be taped in front of a live studio audience and will be broadcast by Rev. TV.
God gives us plenty of warning. He really does. Oh sure, some are cut off in their youth, but for most of us who are blessed to get our three score and ten, the good Lord plants plenty of signs along the way that read, basically, “Eternity Ahead. Take Thought.” When we are young, we ignore the signs, even though
In contrast to the modern Church’s ever increasingly fad-driven, relevancy-craving, world acceptance-seeking, thirst for impressive numbers of people even at the cost of truth and genuine shepherding of the flock, Martyn Lloyd-Jones understood long ago that our ambition should be to be pleasing to Christ: “The glory of the gospel is that when the Church is absolutely different from the
Our obligation to love, honor, and obey any being, is in proportion to his loveliness, honorableness, and authority; for that is the very meaning of the words. When we say any one is very lovely, it is the same as to say, that he is one very much to be loved. Or if we say such a one is more
I take a trip down memory lane every time Dr. White discusses Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free. During the 1980’s I was quite a fan of Dr. Geisler’s work. I first came across Dr. Geisler while flipping through the channels on my television one evening. He was debating secular humanist Paul Kurtz. I had no idea what show I was
Yes, Norman Geisler claims to be the first “major” scholar to critique Calvinism. I know, I know…
Started off with a discussion of some comments from Bassam Zawadi (first half hour), then took calls on a wide variety of topics, including witnessing to Muslims, Qur’anic variations, and whether a parable in Matthew is relevant to particular redemption. Just a reminder: I do not know when we will be able to schedule any DL’s during my trip to

“Where is God now?” inquires Dr. Bart Ehrman in his 2008 book, God’s Problem. The subtitle goes on to state, “How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question – Why We Suffer.” The further one delves into the book, however, the more one will discover that this claim is substantially inaccurate. One of my friends has done just
Back on December 18 Dr White mentioned he was going to be on the Iron Sharpens Iron radio program discussing The Qur’anic Test of Muhammad as a Prophet . The mp3 can be found here. Iron Sharpens Iron has also done a number of recent programs on Islam: Sam Shamoun: The Jesus of the Qur’an vs. the Jesus of the
When was the last time the theme of a popular Christian song was wrath of God on the ungodly? That long, eh? To be honest, since I have listened to popular Christian music I cannot recall any song on the wrath of God that was not either an updated version of a great hymn of the faith or just making
Francis Beckwith explains (in a blog entry / column titled: “Transubstantiation: From Stumbling Block to Cornerstone“): The Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist is a real stumbling block to some Protestants who are seriously considering Catholicism. It was for me too, until I explored the subject, historically and scripturally. Transubstantiation is one of those Roman dogmas that spectacularly fails the tests
