One of the worst parts about expounding scripture while not allowing “what men say” to influence that exposition is that there will always be some people who are “offended” or in disagreement with the analysis. I desire to offend no one. I deeply desire to be of use to my Lord in bringing His people [...]

Dr. Al Mohler weighed in yesterday concerning some important *ahem* "changes" within evangelicalism:

Here’s an interesting question for you to ponder. How can a book on "Christian" apologetics written by two members who firmly adhere to apostate Roman Catholicism end up being published by an evangelical "Protestant" publishing house? More at Apprising Ministries.

The SBC (aka Soiled By Compromise and Slowly Becoming Catholic) has "investigated" The Journey, one of its emerging church plants, concerning its "Beer Ministry." And the *yawn* O so startling results: We’re concerned. WOW! SCARY! I’m even shaking as I type this. 
In commenting on this non-issue in the SBC, didn’t you know; nothing is an issue in the [...]

The President and Founder of the Christian Worldview Network shares his commentary on Rob Bell.

Current Christian points us to the link where Ergun Caner, president of Liberty Theological Seminary, discusses his frustration that, "We — the brash new generation under the age of 50 — prove we are not ready virtually every day" to shoulder the legacy of leadership: 

I shudder when I read blogs of men who have never grown [...]

Today we here a great deal about making the Gospel "relevant" to this alleged "emerging culture." Brethren Reformation has an interesting take on this: "Our contemporary religious contraptions are as much a ramshackle as a 19th century hair styling machine. They are every bit as dangerous, producing results every bit as ugly, and are destined [...]

And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. (1 Thessalonians 5:14)
Because we are the kind of persons we are and because we live in a world such as we do, the shepherd of souls is often forced to work at what would appear to [...]

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of [...]

Put God First in Trust. "Jesus did not commit Himself unto them . . . for He knew what was in man."  John 2:24-25

Over at What We Have Here Is… Pastor E writes:

I had the wonderful privilege of attending the grand opening of the Creation Museum yesterday and it was truly spectacular.

More drift toward apostasy for the SBC (Soiled By Compromise) as it continues licking the feet of its idol of autonomy. Christian Post reports:

A Baptist megachurch in Decatur, Ga., is preparing to take the rare step of calling a female pastor to lead its congregation. First Baptist Church Decatur and its 2,696 members have been without [...]

A chorus of ecumenical voices keep harping the unity tune. What they are saying is, “Christians of all doctrinal shades and beliefs must come together in one visible organization, regardless…”Unite! unite!” Such teaching is false, reckless and dangerous. Truth alone must determine our alignments. Truth comes before unity. Unity without truth is hazardous. Our Lord’s [...]

Shane Trammel points out the further apostasy of Southern Baptist Ed Young, Jr. as he continues to pay such disgusting homage to Word Faith mogul and Oneness Pentecostal heretic "Bishop" T.D. Jakes. You can read about Young’s gushing over Jakes right here.

Berit Kjos expands upon the ecumenical pluralism of The Center for Progressive Christianity…
"On Pluralism Sunday  progressive Christian churches around the US will explore and experience other religious traditions.

In a satanic stroke of genius through the purpose driven life and the emerging from the shadows church–which are but arms of his Ecumenical Church of Deceit–the Devil has been able to cause the evangelical camp of our Lord in so-called postmodern America to grow spiritually fat, soft and sentimental. And what is being obscured [...]

Over at Pros Apologian Dr. James White weighs in concerning Beckwith’s abandoning the Christian faith for the Roman Catholic Church:

 I’m sure I am not the first person to note that "the overwhelming historical weight of the dogmas defined by Rome on the basis of tradition, such as Papal Infallibility, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, and the [...]

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers… Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. (Ephesians 4:29; 5:4)
One of the most shocking things in the church is the [...]
