Bently Out of Shape

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

There’s an excellent article about the recent goings on in Florida with one Todd Bentley Here.
I remember reading the book they mention, The Beautiful Side of Evil, many years ago, so I can vouch for the quotes although I do not own the book. It’s so sad that no one paid attention, and especially that [...]

Be-Ware of Assertions!

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Recently I came across a list of “ten reasons God designed there to be male headship” by “complementarian” Bruce Ware. I will list and comment, because it’s a good study in how people eisegete (read into) the scriptures their preconceived agenda.

Sloppy Apologetics

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I was nodding in agreement as the article exposed McLaren’s promotion of Preterism and Open Theism, but then came the “equal and opposite [...]

Buzzword of the Hour: Change

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

That’s all we seem to hear in this election year, and I smell a rat– a definite connection to what the New Age means by “change”.
Again, I recommend a series beginning at Herescope called “How Everything Must Change“, a pastor’s personal account of a recent stop on Brian McLaren’s tour. And as you read, [...]

The Unknown God

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Toward the end of Acts, in chapter 17, the apostle Paul is in Athens and is invited to speak to their philosophers about his “strange teaching”. He begins with the statement “I see that you are very religious”, which came from his observation of the many shrines to various gods in the city. They even [...]
