I’m not quite sure how to describe this teaching other than to say it is one of the most eye-opening (and frightening) talks I’ve heard in quite some time.  It is a history of the seeker-friendly and Purpose Driven movements.  When I say “history”, that is exactly what I mean.  Sources are quoted, reference material [...]

Great video here about the common message on tithing.  I highly doubt the message this preacher brings will be unfamiliar to those who watch this video as it is a common staple in today’s evangelical culture.  But is it biblical and applicable to those in the New Covenant ushered in by Jesus’ death on the [...]

Many, many people read the Bible and come away feeling as though they are missing something, or that it is such a mysterious book it can never be fully understood.  While there are indeed a few puzzling areas, most of it is fairly easy to understand if you just follow a few simple guidelines when [...]

God is love, right?  So He can forgive us of our sins, which is really great news!  Except…according to Scripture, God is also a just judge.  How can a judge still be just if he simply decides to forgive people of their crimes against the law (in this case, crimes against the Holy law of [...]

Are you currently a leader or member of a purpose-driven or seeker friendly church?  Does your church go above-and-beyond in attempts to make the lost comfortable in your church while preaching relevant messages that appeal directly to the modern-day visitor?  Please take a few minutes to read this great article by Phil Johnson over at [...]

For those of you who learned a lot of your biblical truth through creeds and catechism, you probably remember this question and it’s answer: Q. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever. Recently, TableTalk magazine contributor Harry Reeder had this to [...]

SPOTLIGHT ON… The 2012 True Church Conference!  It is rare that I recommend a conference, but this one is an exception.  Be advised: It is not a celebration of superstar speakers, nor is it in a glamorous setting.  In the past years that I have attended, it has been a simple (but professionally run), biblical [...]

I know I will draw ire for pointing this out, but here it goes anyway… It seems as though Beth Moore has recently been promoting the book, “Jesus Calling” on one of her websites.  To me, this is yet one more reason I strongly recommend avoiding all Beth Moore material.  Reading the description of the [...]

This free MP3 sermon examines Matthew 16: 21-25 in an effort to learn exactly what the call to follow Christ means.  It looks into what it means to “pick up our cross”, and why so many people who profess to follow Christ actually don’t follow Him at all (or fail in their efforts).  As part [...]

The old saying is being proven true once again – God works in mysterious ways.  A ChurchSalt investigative reporter has learned that the image of Tim Tebow has been spotted in a small East-Texas town, and in a tortilla of all places!  Mr. S of Longview, TX (who wishes to remain anonymous) spotted the image [...]

Have you done something “for God” lately?  Personally, I doubt that you have!  Perhaps I am getting a little uptight in my theological opinions (although I don’t think so), but here is what I mean by this remark.  Our Lord is all-powerful, all-knowing and completely sovereign.  As far as I can see, that means He [...]

Ephesians 2:1-10 is a passage of Scripture that should sound familiar to every believer.  The Lord brings the dead back to life when He saves a person, and this is what Paul is writing about in this part of his letter to the Ephesians.  It is a great bit of Scripture for the Christian to [...]
