Short and thoughtful video explaining the importance of knowing why you have certain beliefs as well as what those beliefs mean.  Check it out!

Great little talk from Jackie Hill-Perry:

I originally posted this about five years ago, but the website referenced went down.  With the link now fixed, I thought it might be a good idea to blow the dust off this post and put it out there again: Recently I had an experience that profoundly troubled me.  Visiting a local Church (Southern Baptist, […]

Today I thought I would start a new feature here at ChurchSalt.  Whenever I come across some text in Scripture that might challenge some folks, I’m going to try to send it out so that they are, well, challenged.  Keep in mind that, while I may have a few thoughts on the page too, the […]

Short post today, Please read the following (please note that it’s a passage of Scripture, from the same collection of Scripture where we find John 3:16 and the statement “God is love”): “For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?” If your […]

What, you don’t want to sing about me?  Well, I’m a little hurt, but I suppose I’ll get over it.  How about we sing about you then, or better yet, we can sing about us!  Sounds silly, doesn’t it?  How would you react if a worship leader at your church said such things?  It would […]

Last Sunday I got to hear a great sermon at my home church on worship.  As this subject seems to be viewed from many different angles by many different folk, I invite you to listen to a talk that explores it biblically.  Trust me, it’s good!  Click HERE to listen or download now. If you […]

Every once in a while I post something more than once.  Why?  Because if it is something I strongly feel all Christians should see I want to provide the opportunity.  So, if you have never seen this video, please take the time to watch it.  Turn off the television, grab a beverage, and get ready […]

America and friends have an addiction problem.  I know this isn’t news, but I suspect that there may be a lot of folks out there who think they understand but don’t truly understand.  So please allow me to clarify; there is a huge (really, really huge) addiction problem going on in the modern “civilized” world.  […]

There’s a great article posted over at the AiroCross blog right now.  We American Christians (especially here in the South) tend to look at our world, our politics and our freedoms through red, white and blue lenses rather than through the revealed Word of God.  In the past, the two views were often similar, but […]

It’s that time again!  It is that time of year when all the local churches start filling their front yards with little white crosses symbolizing all the children that have died in abortions.  That’s good, right?  Shouldn’t the church publicly denounce sin?  Well….yes.  And shouldn’t the church try to encourage those considering abortion to instead […]

I was reading this passage the other day and it struck me how very seldom (if ever) we hear passages like this discussed in the modern evangelical world.  While I underlined a few key points that are usually missing from modern preaching, I will not offer much commentary on this other than to point out that Scripture […]
