Courant.com brings us this story of a "A New Beginning": It was the last Sunday service at Christ Church. Unable to go "further in a church that continued in a false gospel," the entire congregation, including the rector and church leaders, will sever ties with the national Episcopal Church and reform under a new name: [...]

From the Christian Post: Believers of Christianity and Islam are competing to spread their respective holy book around the world, but distributors of the Bible have some advantages over the Koran. The Bible is translated into 2,426 languages (complete or in part) and counting, including 900 English versions ranging from street slang to comic book-like [...]

Chris Rosebrough of ExtremeTheology.com has just posted an important critique of Rick Warren’s nationally broadcasted Christmas Sermon. In that sermon Rick Warren preaches a false gospel and likens the gospel to a Mulligan and a do-over. Rosebrough clearly shows how this ‘gospel’ that Warren preached is really no gospel at all.

A while back over at Reformed Gadfly Tim Brown made an excellent point and told the tragic truth when he said that: I’m sick and tired of being associated with a "Christianity"that does not seem to care one whit about holiness or obedience to God’s Word. Let me say this as perfectly clear as I can: I believe that [...]

In Psalm 111, the prophet giveth thanks to the Lord for His merciful works toward His Church. He also declareth wherein true wisdom and right knowledge consistith. Psalm 111 1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly and Congregation of the just. 2 The works of [...]

Unfortunately the Americian Christian Church has continued turning its back on the sufficiency of Christ and His Word in the Bible in favor of a more man-pleasing message. With this accelerating apostasy comes the elevation of false teachers who are submerging proper doctrine on their way into positions of prominence in the Church of our [...]

This is amazing!

They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. (1 John 4:5) Whenever someone like CRN makes a firm stand for sound Biblical doctrine and insists on proper Christian conduct, which inevitably results in sharp debate and dispute–by the way see Acts 15:1-2–the classic argument marshalled against us is: "But what [...]

A reminder from FIDE-O, a fine work in the Lord, that Joel Osteen has given his blessing to the non-Christian cult of the Mormon Church by saying that they are indeed Christians. This in spite of their blasphemous view of Jesus Christ which says He was the first born spirit child of God through His polygamous sex with one of His goddess [...]

"The God of Israel will be your rereward." (Isaiah 52:12) Security from Yesterday. "God requireth that which is past." At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise from remembering the yesterdays. Our present enjoyment of God’s grace is apt [...]

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  (Psalm 90:1-2) Yet I do not advise that we end the year on a somber note. The march, not the dirge, has [...]

Tim Reed is senior pastor of Owosso Church of Christ, Owosso, MI and a lead Watcher at CRN.Info, the Watcher of Watchdog website of Chris Lyons. Now it seems Reed has taken exception to something written by Ingrid Schlueter of Slice and Laodicea and Jim of Old Truth.com. Tim Reed writes at CRN.Info:  As Ingrid [Schlueter] has updated the [...]

In a December 21 story over at ABP News.com we read: Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., has become a controversial figure among evangelical Christians. On a recent stop for his lecture tour, “The Gods Aren’t Angry,” in Louisville, Bell sat down for an interview with Kentucky Baptists’ Western [...]

The total lack of the fear of God is what marks the ungodly. (Romans 3:18) On the other hand, genuine believers in scripture are described as those who do fear Him. Tragically, when moral issues between professing Christians and the unchurched are compared there is very little difference. There is the same level of divorce, [...]

Without a doubt the two subjects which generate the most mail over at Apprising Ministries would Joel Osteen and the Mormon Church, in that order, with emerging church pastor Rob Bell a distant third. Someone/organization calling themselves “Mormons Are Christians” just sent us a rather lengthy article via email likely intended as some sort of response [...]

Thanks to A Little Leaven you can now see Joel Osteen saying that Mormons are true Christians.

Ingrid Schlueter pointed out the other day in her post at Slice of Laodicea: It appears that registration may not be all that Robert Schuller and company wish for his “cutting-edge” Rethink Conference coming up. The list of churches carrying the satellite feed is a short one and so far, there are few of the big [...]

This video clip below, and also over at Lane’s Blog, provides a very captivating and compelling comparison of the quasi-Christian–centered on the self–musings of Joel Osteen with an SNL character and a teaching straight out of the occult. 

This comes to us from the Christian Post: Conservative members of the Anglican Communion who oppose the U.S. Episcopal Church and its liberal attitude to issues like homosexuality are planning to hold their own meeting on the future of the worldwide Communion. The meeting is scheduled for July 15-22, 2008, just before the Lambeth Conference [...]

Here’s an interesting post over at Talk Wisdom which concerns the emerging church and the equally man-centered breed new evangelicalism. In part we read: I have almost completed reading the book that I previously blogged about called "UnChristian – What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity." As I read Steve Camp’s blog post today, I [...]

"All my fresh springs shall be in Thee." (Psalm 87:7 [P.B.V.]) Our Lord never patches up our natural virtues, He re-makes the whole man on the inside. "Put on the new man," i.e., see that your natural human life puts on the garb that is in keeping with the new life. The life God plants in us [...]

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) A few days after these words appear in print the old year of our Lord will have gone to join the long procession of years and centuries that move on into the shadows of a past that can [...]

In these clips Dr. John MacArthur reminds us: All spiritual teachings come from either a divine source or a demonic source. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1).              Part Two  [...]

"I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none; but if to do the right, and to believe the I true, should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will count it [...]

Pastor Byron Harvey shows over at his The No Kool Aid Zone that there’s just *ahem* a wee bit of difference between the Christian message presented by Joel Osteen and the one which was preached by A.W. Tozer.
