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 [...]

Forgetful or rebellious, that is the question!  It seems more and more of today’s “Christian” leaders are making bold and drastic departures from the examples and teachings laid out in Scripture.  The latest case in point is an article found at Ekklesia regarding the recent actions of one of the clergy from the Church of [...]

I am starting a baseball team, and would like to invite you the reader to join us.  Geography is no obstacle, you can join regardless of where you live!  We will have three practices a week, with a game every Sunday.  This practice schedule may sound a little too intense for you to fit into [...]

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.   – Galatians 3:24 This is an eye-opening statement made by the Apostle Paul.  The Law was sent not only to teach us, but in a very real way, to humble and break us so that it might [...]

Questioning the unquestionable… Is “Asking Jesus into our Hearts” Biblical? We have all heard it taught.  It is taught to children in Sunday schools, private Christian schools, and in Christian homes across the land.  It is taught as being the Gospel message, the plan of salvation, and in modern times it is even presented to [...]

I read this great article today over at World View Weekend regarding Rick Warren and the Reformed Christian faith.  This entire subject reminds me of Luke 16:8 “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light” It is absolutely amazing to me that so [...]

This post comes from the blog of Russell Moore.  It addresses a question many people have asked, and a subject that has been discussed quite a bit lately by “Christian” authors.  Moore answers this question with simplicity while remaining true to Scripture’s teachings.  Great read! For the past several weeks, evangelical Christians have spent a [...]

This post will be the first in a new series of ChurchSalt posts.  I am not sure how long we will go with this series (I am planning on initially publishing one a week), but I think they will prove to be helpful for many folks out there.   This series is called “Dangerous Places” and [...]

Rob Bell has released his latest book, “Love Wins” and I expect it will be one of the more popular books (concerning Christianity) of the year.  The problem is, no matter how hard he tries to camouflage his teachings as being Christian, they are obviously not!  I know this sounds harsh, but if you are [...]

I read an article regarding John Piper over at the Crosstalk blog today that brought about profound sadness.  I don’t think I can add much to the article, so I will simply provide a link to it (see below) and let you read it for yourself.  The one thing I will add is to pose [...]

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.  And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This [...]

I saw a short article over at DefendingContending (DC) today that illustrates very clearly that despite claims, Mormonism directly contradicts biblical teachings.  There are many, many false doctrines in the Mormon church, and this is but a quick look at a few, but it does illustrate one of the biggest problems.  The Mormon church takes [...]
