Scripture has many examples of sarcastic speech. Paul uses it with the Corinthians. Or consider Elijah, who mocks the prophets of Baal: And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is… Read More »
The mandate of scripture is the most significant reason Christians should not have lawsuits against fellow believers (brothers in good standing before their church). When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will… Read More »
In Micah 8 of Business for the Glory of God, Wayne Grudem talks about competition. Competition is not inherently evil, but rather, it is good. It is right for us to strive to take dominion over and be good stewards of our possessions. It is proper for us to desire to do our job well… Read More »
Last week, I listened to this sermon from 10th Presbyterian, which was based on Colossians 3:11: Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. The sermon explained that humans naturally and sinfully show partiality. We like to be with people that are… Read More »
Here’s a trajedy of unspeakable proportions… gender problems in China. This look interesting… America by Religions and Denominations. I wonder if I can use my law degree to start up Christian schools and churches. There are so many areas where ministries need legal counsel: By-laws and constitutions, property, taxes, etc… I am also very interested… Read More »
I have a great respect for men like Wayne Grudem and Al Mohler. (I’m sure many more deserve to be on the list. For example: MacArthur, Duncan, Sproul, Piper, professors and pastors who shepherd me…) These men are scholars of the first rate. Intellectuals for Christ. In listening to one of Grudem’s sermons, what struck… Read More »
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. – 1 Peter 2:9 The Bible forbids mixed marriages. Not interracial marriages, but marriages between Christians and non-Christians. In… Read More »
The Discovery Institute is compiling a list of scientists who oppose evolution, in response to a claim on PBS’s “Evolution” series, that virtually no reputable scientist disagrees with evolution. Over 500 scientists have already signed the dissent, which states: We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account… Read More »
The internet can be a big time waster for Christians called to redeem the time. However, if used properly, the internet can be a great tool. The internet is a great place to practice discernment and engage the mind. (Romans 12:1,2) This week, I was able to browse some blogs. Tim Challies, a web designer… Read More »
Whenever we read the news, we need to exercise discernment. I don’t watch TV much anymore, but I noticed that foxnews.com is just like the other news sources. The news reports aren’t really that conservative. Besides that, they always feature these silly celebrity news items and their video feeds always have something sexy. Their advertisements… Read More »
