I am sure you have heard the of the doctrine of the “Carnal Christian”.  It is the idea that many people come to Christ and are saved, but afterward have no evidence of repentance in their life.  Instead they continue to indulge in their favorite sins whether they be sins of raunch debauchery or more [...]

I know that in the past I have not been shy in addressing the problems I see with Rick Warren’s theology and methods.  I also know that many, many people read my warnings and warnings like mine and shrug them off as some radical blogger who is out of touch with the way God is [...]

For you Purpose Driven folks and fans of Rick Warren, please read this post carefully.  The following statements are quotes taken from an author who, after publishing the book from which these quotes were taken, was invited to speak and teach at Warren’s latest conference (Christian Apologetics Conference). Now I see that God prefers to [...]

Sometimes, you just have to take a deep breath and say, “WOW!”  Why, you ask?  I just recently came across an article in the Associated Baptist Press (read full article HERE) that made my head spin.  It seems as though there has been a meeting between the Baptist World Alliance and the Roman Catholic Pontifical [...]

The Barna research group recently came out with an article stating that their research has found six Mega-themes that have emerged in American Christianity (read article HERE).  Let me quickly share with you the six problems their studies concluded were rampant in the American church: 1.

I came across a sports article this week that speaks volumes as to what is being preached in the common church today.  The article (you can see it HERE) was regarding Steve Johnson, a receiver for the Buffalo Bills (an American football team).  Apparently, toward the end of a recent game Johnson had a chance [...]

I know, I know….History is boring!  But trust me, it isn’t always boring!!  This video is look at where we get our modern-day Church services.  Still sound boring?  Well, it isn’t.  It is an extremely interesting and fairly thorough tracing of how we got to where we are today, and in my opinion, it is [...]

A new sermon has been added to the collection of free ChurchSalt MP3 sermons!  “That Kind of Faith” is a message delving into James 2:14-26 and the confusion that often comes when reading this passage.  Is James saying we are saved by doing good deeds (works)?  Is he saying we are saved by Jesus + [...]

Todd Friel takes a look at a few of Rick Warren’s teachings in this video, and does a great job at it.  There is no doubt Warren talks smooth and knows how to sound Biblical, but at some point doesn’t his constant contradiction of Scripture begin to raise some flags with the tens of thousands [...]
