  • Why Paul is not Welcomed in Thessalonica (while other "Christians" are…)

    I read with disgust an absurd posting at AliElhajj.com (link to post). I thought it worthwhile to parody the posting by substituting Paul (as described in Acts 17, 14, and 2 Timothy 4:10). I suggest you read the absurd posting first, and then my parody below, in order better to understand the parody. Last week…

  • Update on Dearborn

    The video of the “disorderly conduct” (so called by many of their critics) is now available. (link to video) Does anyone seriously think that these guys are doing anything wrong – anything for which they should be arrested? To God be the Glory!

  • Hard to Preach to the "Saved"

    That’s the point of this interesting and disturbing post (link) from defending contending. But you can imagine that if evangelizing those who are nominal or non-adherents to religion is difficult, evangelizing those who are zealous adherents of a false religion is impossible, humanly speaking. Matthew 19:23-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say…

  • Remembering Wrath

    Don’t forget about the wrath of God. In the King James Version, the phrase “wrath of God” appears ten times. For those of you who think that the wrath of God is primarily an Old Testament concept, prepare to be surprised. Only one of the ten instances is in the Old Testament. Of course, the…

  • The World’s Worst Evangelist

    He enters the city, spends the first day just getting himself deeper into the city, and then preaches his message: Yet forty days, and the city shall be overthrown. He doesn’t have any particular care for the people of the city, and you can see it on his face. He’s just going through the motions.…

  • Frank Turk and the Concession Speech

    This article by Frank Turk on the gospel is worth the 2-3 minutes it takes to read it (link). I’m not saying I agree with every last jot and tittle of what he writes, but the main points he makes are the main points that need to be made, especially to the folks with whom…

  • Broad Path Evangelicalism

    There is a soft-hearted variety of “Evangelicalism” out there that doesn’t want to make anyone unhappy. There’s also a hard-hearted variety that takes pleasure in making others unhappy, but that group is much smaller. This soft-hearted variety always likes to think the best of other people and doesn’t want to make anyone upset or nay-say…

  • Introduction to God from the Psalms

    Thanks for reading this short discussion of the amazing God whom we worship. Of Him we say: Psalm 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalm 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. Why do we say this? Psalm…

  • Repentance is from Sin

    Mr. Greg Koukl has lots of good things to say on many topics, but I was a bit disappointed by his recent post/video on the topic of Repentance, which he titles: “Repentance Has Nothing to Do with Sin.” (link to post with embedded video) [UPDATE: Mr. Koukl has pulled his video, and has posted some…

  • Dr. James White on Evangelizing Roman Catholics (and other things)

    Thanks to Monergism.com I recently located a discussion recorded on October 16, 2005, at the Omaha Bible Church featuring Dr. James White discussing evangelizing Roman Catholics (here’s a link to the mp3 – about 1 hour). This is one of several presentations that was given that weekend. The rest are provided below: Justification by Faith…
