Personal Reflections and Valuable Insights from ‘The Forgotten Spurgeon’ by Iain H. Murray
Remembering some forgotten events from the ministry of Charles Spurgeon
Industrialized South London was no place where Calvinism should flourish, humanly speaking. Despite all of the human factors, Spurgeon’s ministry, particularly known for its bold exposition of the doctrines of grace from Scripture, flourished among factory workers, housekeepers, and chimney sweeps. What a testimony this is to God’s grace! Of all the great preachers and... Continue Reading
Meet Lecrae, the Christian Rapper Tearing Up the Charts
A two-minute bio on hip-hop's God-loving, chart-topping artist
At age 19, Lecrae attended a conference at the prodding of a friend and heard James White deliver a message that he says “turned his world upside down and showed him his need for a savior.”
A Review of Os Guniness’ “A Free People’s suicide”
He argues that freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith, and faith requires freedom
Undoubtedly, Guinness sees that a reordering of societal virtue and values is paramount. The status quo is unsustainable; the republic will not even merely be able to stay afloat. At best, it seems the country can manage its steady decline.
Baylor Philosophy Professor Wins Prestigious C.S. Lewis Book Prize
Natural Signs and the Knowledge of God: A New Look at Theistic Arguments
Evans said he wrote his book partly in response to the New Atheists, who hold that belief in God has no rational basis. Some contemporary cognitive psychologists think that religious faith is discredited because humans are biologically and psychologically "hard-wired" to believe in a higher power.
Kingdom through Covenant: A Review
Gentry and Wellum have made a substantial case for an independent middle path between dispensational and covenant theology
Gentry and Wellum seem to agree that the "geneological principle operative in the Abrahamic covenant" is indicated by the phrase, "you and your seed" from Genesis 17:7. I agree, but if that's true, then what do we say of Peter's repetition of this formula in Acts 2:30, specifically in connection with baptism?...The cumulative case seems to place the burden of proof on the Baptist position
Restless Heart
This St. Augustine biopic is memorable more for its subject's merit than its own.
One would expect a dramatic film to take historical liberties, but Restless Heart's biggest fabrication is an egregious one. Augustine's famous conversion in Milan comes, in the film, shortly after a massacre of Christians which Augustine at first publically defends for the sake of career ambitions. But this particular killing, let alone Augustine's public identification with it, never happened.
What I’ve Been Reading – Creationism Is Evolving
Creationism is an apologetic approach which attempts to integrate the doctrine of creation with the current understandings of the natural sciences
1 - Virtually all early fundamentalists and evangelicals held to an ancient earth. 2 - Young-earth creationism (YEC) did not ascend to prominence until the early 1960′s. 3 - Young-earth creationism (YEC) originally was called “scientific creationism.”
“ParaNorman” and the Fear of a Christian America
If there’s any group easier to be demonized by Hollywood, one would think it would be undead Religious Right activists.
A movie like this one is easy to lampoon. It’s filled with some cliches of the righteous outsider, the marginalized hero, the crusading moralists. But perhaps underneath all of that is a muffled cry for some conversation, from one guilty conscience to another, seeking for some way to break an old, old curse.
American Bible Challenge
New Jeff Foxworthy show is as much fun as 5th Grader, and perhaps more so for Christian viewers
The show is as much fun as 5th Grader, and perhaps more so for Christian viewers who suddenly get to use that daily Bible study time not only to grow spiritually, but also to lord fact-retention capabilities over your significant other (or maybe that's just me.)
Is Reformation Christianity Just for Eggheads?
It is undeniable that confessional Christianity demands a greater engagement with one’s brain
When you think of all the trouble the reformers went through to bring God’s Word back to the laity, it really does make you wonder why we would complain about actually learning what it says.
