One of the things I have noticed the last few years is that here in the Bible Belt of the U.S. more and more pastors are using creativity and imagination in their sermons.  Not in the good way, which might be creative illustrations and new innovative methods of delivering the Gospel message.  No, the creativity […]

I am all sorts of confused today.  Regular visitors to this blog know that this isn’t a rare occurrence, but today  I’m taking my confusion and bewilderment to new uncharted heights that will surprise even them!  Last night I read the open letter recently put out by Pope Francis and published in an Italian newspaper […]

Throughout all of Scripture, it’s made extremely clear that when sins are committed, our just God and Judge must hand down punishment.  After all, if He pardons the guilty, then He isn’t a just judge.  His uncompromising justice is made clear in several passages, including this one: Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent — […]

No, this isn’t some photographic trickery done using a Photoshop program.  This really is a “Duck Dynasty” display at our local “Christian” bookstore (Mardels to be exact).  This will be a short post, and it’s on a subject that comes up a lot here at ChurchSalt.  If you are embracing the popular figures in our […]

Southern Baptist pastor Jordan Hall issues a call of repentance to the SBC.  I highly recommend you hear it and share it with others – even if you aren’t Southern or Baptist!

It’s no secret that there are a whole lot of best-selling books out there written about the power of positive thinking.  Today’s quiz is this about the teaching found in one of them:  Who made this statement? “Truly believing in the object of your desire and focusing onto it will lead to that object or […]

Do you like detective stories?  Stories filled with suspense and danger?  It might be nice to read one, but to actually live in danger isn’t the best idea!  However, if you liked such stories, pull up a chair and listen to mine… My sin is missing!  I used to have sin in my life, but […]

On this blog, I have more than once addressed my concerns with some of the recent teachings of Beth Moore (see links to previous posts below).  She has repeatedly shown she doesn’t understand the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church and portrays them as Christian, as well as continuing to embrace & teach the mystic […]

Do you watch television several hours a week?  How about giving up just two of those & instead watch something that will educate you as to the truth of the modern church in America and the West.  I strongly encourage you to watch this with an open mind, prayerful heart, and (of course) a Bible so you can […]

Below is a portion of Matthew chapter sixteen.  The first segment of this passage is the one typically used by the Roman Catholic church to promote their belief that Jesus established Peter as the cornerstone and earthly head of the church (the first Pope).  I thought that perhaps a quick look at this whole idea might […]
