Tuesday, September 18th, 2007Having long been a reader of anything Mahaney, I was excited to read Humility: True Greatness. My first read was typical…I enjoyed it and gave it some thought. I again read this book over a weekend and began to see concepts I had not seen or understood before. And lastly, upon a third reading I [...]
Saturday In Seattle
Saturday, March 24th, 2007Seattle is proving to live up to the rainy, damp and cloudy reputation. We are sitting in the worship center, enjoying WiFi and waiting for the last session of the Resurgence Conference to begin. It’s been really good stuff so far. The audio will be available soon.
Shane is posting some good photos of the church facility here and [...]
Divine Identity Theft
Thursday, March 1st, 2007 The documentary film claiming to have identified the tomb and physical remains of Jesus of Nazareth, “The Lost Tomb of Jesus” airs on March 4, 2007 on the Discovery channel.
Here is an excerpt from an article at ExtremeTheology.com by Chris Rosebrough. It’s extensive and long, but very helpful in the discussions surely to come after [...]
Straight And Narrow
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 I’ll start with a conclusion. Liberal pastors in liberal churches love people more than they do Jesus. But that’s just part of it, here’s the other half— Fundamentalist Pastors in traditional churches love their church and it’s traditions more than they love people outside their church or Jesus.
From Scripture, we are instructed to love [...]
False Teachers and the Apostle Paul
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007The teaching of the Apostle Paul is so clear and concise. It is certainly not easily misconstrued, unless there is an intentional desertion from Biblical Christianity.
Paul’s letter to the Galatians comes to mind. John Stott begins a verse by verse study of this letter by stating, “The devil disturbs the church as much by error [...]
Reasonable Truth
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007David Wells in his book No Place for Truth, states that a faith that is conceived in the heart of man is different that the historic Christian faith. He says, “It is a smaller thing, shrunken in its ability to understand the world and to stand up to it. The self is a canvas too [...]
Sermon notes
Sunday, January 7th, 2007For several weeks I have been planning on teaching on the subject of the reliability of Scripture, as I did today in my sermon at The Point Community Church. I even shared much of my sermon preparation notes last Wednesday with those in attendance. Scripture as being inspired and absolute Truth is the foundation of [...]
Green Eggs And Ham?
Saturday, January 6th, 2007It seems that Chuck Queen just views the Bible as a good story with some good ideas that might help ‘thinking people’ enjoy life and be a better person. His latest (I say ‘ad’ he says ‘article’) in the State Journal has him going even further off the chart of theological truth. Here’s a particularly [...]
It’s About The Cross
Thursday, January 4th, 2007C.J. Mahaney has written another standout book, this one is titled “Living the Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel the Main Thing”. This book combines much of two other books by him. Though I am just about half way through it myself, I can go ahead and highly recommend this work.
Mahaney begins by reminding his [...]
The Way Of Christ
Saturday, December 16th, 2006In an ‘article’ I read recently the author stated this about his church…., “We are unapologetically committed to following the way of Christ.” I was so glad to read his words. I certainly hope this is the case. So, what is the way of Christ? And where can we find ‘the way of Christ?’ I am [...]
