John Piper to Respond on Rick Warren being on DG 2010
Read my Comments on Dr. Piper addressing his decision of choosing Rick Warren: HT Latest News : HT I'm sure most of the reformed folk out there (the ones not living under rocks or in caves), have caught drift of one of the most startling issues for the year of 2010, "John Piper inviting Rick Warren of Saddleback church to keynote at the Desiring God National Conference of 2010". Yep. First news seemed to come from: SharperIron SharperIron has confirmed ...

The Assumed Gospel
The greatest threat to Christ-centered witness even in churches that formally affirm sound teaching is what British evangelical David Gibson calls “the assumed gospel.” The idea is that that gospel is necessary for getting saved, but after we sign on, the rest of the Christian life is all the fine print: conditional forgiveness. It often comes in the form of, “Well, of course, but….” After a month of Sundays with exhortation apart from Good News, one ...

What Will You Tell Me If I Had a Brain Tumor?
Just a while ago, as I was browsing around my Facebook page, I saw Susan Yesner and Doug Eaton post the same video from YouTube. A video with the title: "Shocking Message to Pastors & Churches." I watched it and re-posted it as soon as I was done. In an understatement I would say that it is not only shocking but very, very much sobering as well. Below are my comments on the video, and my ...

Declaring War on the “Sinner’s Prayer”
I'm sick and tired of this "Sinner's Prayer." Just because it's most convenient to use it...because most preachers fail to understand how painstaking salvation and genuine conversion really is, they relegate the Gospel call into "CHOOSING/DECIDING GOD." Blasphemy. Should we not go to strenuous efforts for the salvation of men souls? Why deceive them that they have (instant) assurance of salvation? No warnings? No telling them of reality that if there is no change of heart, change of mind, ...

Sean Penn, Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage.
Recently at the Academy Awards, Sean Penn was Awarded as the best actor in his performance in the movie Milk. The movie Milk, for those of you not familiar, is an adaptation of Harvey Milk's life. In essence it was one of the pivotal events that led to the "open acceptance" of homosexuality in the United States of America. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhJOT7CHO94 I wonder how the majority of the Christian world would respond to the statements made by Mr. ...

The Free Will Song Challenge.
The "Joy Quartet" at Pensacola Christian College teach us about the Arminian doctrine of free will. In the words of Phil@ReformedVoices.com Let's see who can last the entire 4 min. 14 seconds without pulling out their hair. I would like to add to that challenge. Let's see who can last even a minute with a smile on their face while watching this video. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrczyFvkv8Q Seen at ReformedVoices.com

The “Religion” of the Youth—Of Most Christian Youth.
Many of you have read the posts I've put up lately claiming that we're dealing with another religion and not Christianity in regard to what the "seeker" movement puts forth. I believe that a man named Christian Smith has finally given an accurate name to the beast: "Moralistic, Therapeutic Deism." —Lane Chaplin In Christian Smith's book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers, coauthored with Melinda Lundquist Denton, he talked about the views of ...

How To Make Your Child a False Convert? Easy.
Would you let Hillsong church preach to your child? I'm sure such an inquiry would have most of today's Christian Parents more than delighted to oblige. We would certainly love it for those "godly men and women" to preach to our kids. But in this case I am forced to say that only those deluded and blinded from the truth would want such a thing for their Children. I remember Paul Washer saying, "I would never ...
