The Altar Call, so NO man may boast.
What does the Bible say about the common practice of the “ALTAR CALL” or “TIME OF RESPONSE” Humbly I want to submit my response in hopes of addressing clearly, concisely and most importantly Biblically this issue. This is a significant issue to address in light of the numerous churches who practice such methodology as a means of “evangelism.” It is a discussion... [Read more]
The CROSS…Who’s Idea was this anyway?
The most important question of all time: Who crucified Jesus? Romans? Jews? Gentiles? You or me? Who crucified Jesus? The astonishing reality is that God did. God crucified His Son! It is a mind-blowing reality. Jesus was His son. And the suffering was horrific. But all of scripture is pointing us to this very conclusion.

Most Christians can’t read the Bible…
Do you want to know God’s will for your life…then read the Word of God — if you can! But can we? The sad reality is that most professing Christians have lost the ability or have never been able to read the Bible. Now I am not talking about illiteracy problems in the church. I speak of the tragedy that when people open their Bibles, we do so with the mindset that is in affect a Great Wall of China... [Read more]
Romantic Puritian poets and modern day Christian love.
On Valentines day I thought it would be appropriate to share a chapter from a recent book that I have read by Dr. Joel R. Beeke Living for God’s Glory.

We all know what time it is once again on December 31. It’s time to reflect on how we lived in 2011 and finalize some much needed changes for 2012. It’s time to make a list of New Year’s resolutions. Many of the things on our list will involve a bit of wishful thinking; and most, if not all, will include some recycled resolutions from last year that we just didn’t hit in 2011. But... [Read more]

Giving FaceBook a run for its money….Google?
Google announces what is claiming to be a more interactive Social Networking experience with its Google+ project. Currently this is in a testing phase and is limited to a few users by invitation only (Classic Google technique) most likely to build the “Buzz” about this new service.
