Pyromaniacs provides your weekly dose of Spurgeon where he discusses: Why Constantly Changing One’s Theological Perspective Is Not a Sign of Growth or Maturity:

The tendency of the day is to give up old landmarks and to adopt new ones, and to avow anything rather than the old-fashioned divinity. Well, my dear friends, if any of [...]

The vast majority of professing Christians in the United States and in other countries, whose churches are patterned after American churches, are enslaved to their flesh. Why? The trend that I have witnessed in our churches for at least the last 25 years or so is a de-emphasis of discipleship. Evangelism or outreach has crowded [...]

Holy Sister Bertrille!!
This story sounds like a good idea for a new "reality" show.

ABC News Nightline informs us:

Diet-Conscious Christians Embrace ‘Hallelujah Diet’ as Way to Stay Healthy While Praising God [as] the spry, slender 73-year-old man sprints up to the stage, pumps the air with his fist, and shouts out a robust, "Hallelujah!"
The Rev. George Malkmus surveys the crowd of nearly 400 packed into a former college auditorium and finds [...]

This report is from Christan Post:

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani says God is a very important part of his life.
"I believe in God. I pray to God, and I pray to Jesus for guidance, help,” Giuliani said in an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network. “I have very, very strong views on religion that come about [...]

Truth Matters has a couple of video clips featuring Paul Washer. Part One "Today’s Church…Everything for Man" and Part Two "Seeker Friendly is Silly." 

This is the divisive fruit of the humanism within liberal theology as well as the failure to reject it immediately when it first slithers into a church body. Christian Post is reporting:

Anglican bishops discontent with The Episcopal Church announced Friday they have taken the first step in forming a "separate ecclesiastical structure" in North America in an attempt [...]

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
I have little fear that any nation or combination of nations could bring down the [...]

R.C. Sproul shared the following story in the September 2007 issue of Tabletalk magazine. “Several years ago I was participating in a discussion with some business men in Jackson, Mississippi. In the course of the conversation, one of the men made reference to a man who was not present at the meeting. He said, ‘He [...]

“Am I Missing Something Here?” So asks self-described “emerging leader” Nathan Neighbour whose “pastor” is cultural architect, distinguished furturist and emerging church leader Erwin McManus. And yes Nathan, as we’ll see in this missive at Apprising Ministries by listening to false teachers like McManus, you are missing something; the very heart of the Gospel of [...]

After the failure of the older theological liberalism Karl Barth stepped into the vacuum. He held the higher critical views concerning the Bible. That is, that the Bible has many mistakes but he taught that a religious word could break through from them. This was the theological form of existentialism after existentialism had been accepted [...]

More fruit of the seeker sensitive non-gospel of "me, myself and I" from Ed Young, Jr. and his increasingly worldly Fellowship Church of human potential from Christian Post:

Whether it’s for confessions or a sense of support, today’s believers are flocking to the Internet, where they discover thousands of others struggling as Christ followers as they are.
"Our culture [...]

This report has just come into the Christian Research Net newsroom from Team TomInTheBox News Network:

When the Reverend William Constantine Lester began his ministry three years ago he started it with one goal in mind; to be "as broke as possible." After 25 years of running a successful business in which he had amassed a tidy portfolio, [...]

Should we address each other as brother John and sister Melissa. What about the deacons and pastor. As a pastor I wonder what it would be like to have someone call me Right Reverend Dr. Pastor Preacher _________?

Christian Research Net does not recommend or endorse either Bob Hyatt or South Park and we warn you of inappropriate language. Hyatt just happens to be a pastor in the emerging church. He is also one of the most vocal critics who have been whining about how the Emergent-See Po-Motivators For Emerging Christians posters put out by Pyromaniacs, which [...]

Earlier this week I compiled a few Simple Facts on Bible Translations on my blog. It is important to know that we can trust the Bible with attacks from even within the church. Messianic cults are spreading that the New Testament cannot be trusted, because it was written by Catholics. I hope these notes from Pastor Hollie Miller [...]

In this Update over at Apprising Ministries, though BSCNC officials have yet to confirm this to us, you’ll see even more indication that Doug Pagitt, unquestionably a leader in the emerging church, has been dropped from their Wired2Grow Conference 2007.

Newsweek Politics informs us of deepening apostasy within leaderless evangelicalism:

Richard Land had never met one-on-one with a chairman of the Democratic National Committee. The Tennessee evangelist, an influential force in the Southern Baptist Convention, generally views such people as adversaries, if not enemies. So consider his surprise when, at a nonpartisan leadership conference over the New Year’s [...]

Over at Hope In Laodicea Ingrid Schlueter shares some words of adoration for our great God and Savior Jesus Christ from Robert Hawker which begin:

This, my soul, should be your constant employment, wherever you are, however engaged; in going in, or out; at rising up, or lying down; whether in public or private, in the [...]

There are many of those who accuse our Calvinist brethren of being cold-hearted toward evangelizing the lost. Well, apparently Charles Spurgeon missed that memo:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is [...]

This comes to us from the Washington Post:

The play was 48 Toss, and 30 years later, Dick Vermeil remembers it as if he called it last Sunday. Herb Lusk took a pitch from Ron Jaworski, headed around left end and breezed unscathed 70 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown. Four steps over the goal line at [...]

It’s an old, old story men and women. The “Prince of Preachers” Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) a man powerful in Christ once wrote, "At the present day, I am afraid that nine people out of ten do not believe in the God Who is revealed to us in the Bible."
And Brian McLaren, a leading Emergent [...]

From The Ottowa Citizen
Anglicans look to ‘emerging church’ to heal wounds.  They’ll hear from a man whose vision is that there is a more faithful way to follow Christ, says Jennifer Green.  Can Brian McLaren heal the fractured Anglican church with a new vision of Christianity for the 21st century? The balding, bespectacled baby boomer is one of [...]

Christian Post brings us this scintillating story:

Innovate 2007 kicked off Thursday to help inspire hundreds of church pastors and staff to plow new grounds in ministry.
"What does it mean to be innovative in your environment?" posed Mark Beeson, senior pastor of host church Granger Community in Indiana, ahead of the two-day conference. "Innovation isn’t imitation. [...]

"Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest." (Luke 9:57)
Our Lord’s attitude to this man is one of severe discouragement because He knew what was in man. We would have said – "Fancy losing the opportunity of winning that man!" Fancy bringing about him a north wind that froze him and "turned him away discouraged!" Never [...]
