I read it on the Internet
I put in Disney’s website (link) and got this result: I put in Centuri0n’s blog (link) and got this result: I put in Dr. James White’s blog (link) and got this result: I put in the present blog (link) and got this result: So, anyways, since I (and now you) read it on the internet,…

PCUSA Draws the Line
Apparently, although the PCUSA will continue to permit women to be ordained, they have drawn the line at allowing practicing homosexuals from being ordained. (link) This is a defeat for the ultra-liberals in the PCUSA. I wonder whether this will bring a welcome split within the PCUSA that would extract the most extreme liberal elements…

Friday Menu: Rotini with Meat Sauce
I recall some years ago visiting a hotel, and encountering a young man wearing a yarmulke. We met in the lobby of the hotel. After we got on the elevator, he asked me for a favor. He asked me if I would unlock the door of his hotel room for him. You see, the hotel…

Monergism vs. Synergism Debate
As a followup to the post below, I should point out that my Monergism vs. Synergism debate with Matt Shapman from BeyondFundamentalism has been put on indefinite hold (due to his lack of availability for the debate). If someone would like to take his place, please let me know. To God be the Glory!

Monergism vs. Synergism Discussion
In the video below, Dr. James White discusses monergist salvation with a synergist. http://www.youtube.com/v/iZYKJPfSXAY&rel=1 I mostly agree with Dr. White’s answers. However, as to the answer regarding the burning house, I’d have something else to say. The analogy about the burning house is inaccurate, because the synergist does not assert that total passivity is the…

Superstition or Sacramental?
American Papist reports (link), you decide. My own two cents: this is plainly superstition. The Giants’ victory had nothing to do with a scrap of metal in someone’s pocket. I doubt the American Papist would be willing to debate the topic of: “Resolved: that blessed medals are effective for winning football games.” Nevertheless, we have…

Charitable Prayers Unwelcome
According to a Reuters article, thoughtfully brought to my attention by the American Papist (link), some Jews are suprised and offended by prayers by Roman Catholics for the “conversion of the Jews.” I’m quite sure that these prayers are meant by many Roman Catholics in a positive way. That is to say, they really sincerely…

Problems Unlikely to Beset the Reformed Churches
How to react when God sends his lightening bolts against your graven images? Rio’s answer seems to be repair it: (link). Let’s hope that they get the message more quickly than the Philistines did! 1 Samuel 5 1And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. 2When the Philistines…

Canine Heroism
This news story (link) is both sad and happy. Dogs rescued their owners from death by fire, but lost their own lives in the process. Read the story. It may make you cry, particularly if you are fond of dogs. The final sentence of the article really struck me: “Everything I lost is nothing compared…
