I mentioned Steve Camp’s article relating to salvation of infants, etc., on his website on the DL today. Some folks have been having trouble finding it, so I tracked it down for you. Here it is. For those listening to the archive, this was in reference to the call from the kind sister on Staten Island and her work in

A rather unsettling story.

I was looking at Brian McLaren and postmodernism and the Emergent Church movement a few days ago, and wish to continue with that theme here. In CT an article on “Emergent Evangelism” appeared wherein we read: Making absolute truth claims—so important to evangelism in the modern era—becomes problematic in the postmodern context. Instead, he said, we can focus on recruiting

We have to deal with a spirit, I know not how to denominate it, unless I call it a spirit of moderatism in the pulpits of protestant churches. Men have begun to rub off the rough edges of truth, to give up the doctrines of Luther and Zwingle, and Calvin, and to endeavour to accommodate them to polished tastes. You

I have run out of room in my office again. You can always tell when stacks of books begin appearing in front of the shelves. Time to reorganize and lose the last of the wall space. I guess pictures can be relegated to the computer screen. Anyway, to my left is a stack of books I’ve been using, or just

Albert Mohler has pointed out that the secular left, those seeking to overthrow the foundations of our culture and nation, are continuing their revolution-via-judiciary in the most amazing ways. A must read.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, the head of Anglicans worldwide, has commented on the tsunami in Asia. Want to know why sound, biblical theology is important…no, vital, to maintenance of a distinctively Christian worldview? Open up his article. Now, use the search function. It’s there, believe me. Now, search for the following terms: Jesus / Christ / sovereignty /

Paul warned Timothy in his second letter to him, “And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” (2Ti 3:12) These words came just after Paul recited his own persecutions and just before he warned Timothy of impostors and evil men would proceed from bad to worse. Paul’s encouragement for Timothy is to continue in

My daughter headed off to New York again today (yes, though she is a wonderful young lady, she loves New York). After I got her checked in at the airport, we were standing in the terminal waiting for my wife to call, when I saw him. Barely 18 from what I could see, probably younger than my son. Brand spanking

Jason Engwer is one of the brightest young apologists on the scene, and he has written a fine response pointing out the glaring bias and inconsistencies of another of the media’s regular “It’s Christmas: let’s blast orthodox Christian belief” articles, this time in Newsweek. I will be reviewing the article some on the DL in a matter of minutes myself.

 In a letter of clarification requested by a traveling minister, the Internal Revenue Service has declared people gathered in tax-exempt churches can’t pray for President Bush to win the election on Tuesday.  Full article. Canada and homosexuality, hate-crimes legislation, the left dropping the mask and expressing their utter contempt for God, the Bible, and Christianity as a whole. God’s hand

My daughter Summer and I didn’t watch the Presidential “debate” last week. First, we know who we are voting for (OK, she’s 15, she can’t vote yet), and secondly, 90 second press-conference style questions without interaction isn’t a debate to begin with. But something tells me neither of us would have enjoyed watching anyway, given that politics in this nation

Since sixth grade my daughter, Summer, has been in a Christian school. But she did not find it challenging, and grew tired of the fact that the kids would claim faith, but live a very, very different life. So this year she began going to the local high school, and she loves it. She is learning more, is more challenged,

Abortion remains the murder of unborn children and must bring the judgment of God. (Click on the image for a larger version).

It only took a moment for me to track down the quotation my fellow elder, Don Fry, had read from the pulpit in the morning sermon. Robert Reich, Labor Secretary under President Clinton, now Maurice B. Hexter Professor of Social and Economic Policy at Brandeis University and its Heller Graduate School and national editor of The American Prospect had opined

What was once the unthinkable is now the moral. Click here. Now Christian morals are “hate speech” and subject to suppression. The tide moves a bit higher…

What happens when a nation which was founded with a knowledge of God’s moral law abandons that law — no, not only abandons it, but spits upon it, dances upon it, and rejoices in their rebellion against it (as we see in San Francisco and all across our nation)? We all watched an incredible example last evening. The final story

Recently we have all heard about Barry Lynn’s group, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, seeking to silence pastors from preaching in the pulpit on the moral stands of candidates for political office (story/follow up) and our duties as citizens in light of the Lordship of Christ. Our readers will remember that Lynn did not want the

Click here. Christianity is heresy in a totalitarian secular state (or a totalitarian Muslim state, etc.). The Inquisition isn’t just a Roman idea. Secularists like the idea as well.

Just think of it folks: today the God-ordained covenant of marriage can be “legally” violated in the same state in which Jonathan Edwards preached Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and on the same day the International Olympic Committee cleared transsexuals to compete in the Olympics in Athens! It does seem the brakes have come off on the

She looked into the camera and said, “I think it is just sad that we have to be here today.” She was talking about being one of more than half a million people gathered in Washington in support of “abortion rights.” Yes, I agreed: it is very sad. The march was called the “March for Women’s Lives.” Given that nearly

I hear Rosie O’Donnell joined the growing anarchy movement. You can’t listen to the media these days without hearing the left (and the middle) spitting in God’s face. Surely, “the wrath of God is being revealed (present tense) from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men” (Romans 1:18). The culture wars seem to be little more than a rear-guard

The senator from Georgia, Zell Miller, delivered an address on the floor of the Senate recently. It is a must read. Not that there are many with ears to hear any longer. Law has been overthrown by the King-Priests of the judiciary who think themselves free of the law’s constraints. The anarchy that can ensue from this judicial revolution is

We spent some time on Thursday’s DL talking about the recent “decision” (hard to call such obvious judicial chicanery and despotism a “decision” since that assumes some basis can be found in law, and in this situation, the state constitution) by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts forcing the complete overthrow of the institution of marriage by utter redefinition. This

Not that anyone is overly surprised. The decades of corruption of the judiciary (a fact openly acknowledged, at least by their actions, by one major political party) has led inevitably to the actions of the Massachusetts Supreme Court today. To quote Reuters:   In a 4-3 ruling that could make Massachusetts the first state to legalize gay marriage, the Supreme

A few thoughts on Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and The Da Vinci Code. No, I could not sit still while watching it. Who, with the slightest knowledge of the facts of the situation, could? But I still had to suffer through the ABC (yes, the same folks who brought you the Peter Jenning’s Jesus Seminar commercial a few years ago) special

A friend just sent me this note: Just thought it curious that at this moment the CNN home page has the following stories:   Consecration of a gay bishop to the Episcopal church   A study shows that teens get “good” safe sex advice from “Friends”   The Supreme Court has refused to hear the Ten Commandments case   ABC
