Lovers of Money
Lovers of Money: "Paul commands Timothy to avoid those who are lovers of money (cf. 2 Timothy 3:1-9). And yet the prosperity preachers are not only tolerated within evangelicalism, they are given a platform and sometimes even commended. The leaders of this movement are slaves of mammon, not Christ. So, how do you explain evangelicalism’s reluctance to shun Prosperity/Word of Faith teachers?"
Is Eternal Life Always Eternal?
Is Eternal Life Always Eternal?: "I remember exactly where I was when I discovered some Christians believe eternal life may not always be eternal. The moment is still etched in my memory. Shortly after I was saved, a friend invited me to a midweek Bible study at a local church. During the course of our study, one fellow asked, “How can someone know if he has lost his salvation?” As discussion ensued, it became clear he was talking about himself. This poor man thought he was in danger of losing his salvation."
Stone the Preacher
Stone the Preacher: "Ireland has a very distinctive history. It was an island untouched by the Roman legions, and Patrick, the Evangelist, brought to it the Gospel of grace."

What DOES the First Amendment Say? | The Jesus Site Blog: "Once again, another court case is on the books regarding separation of church and state.

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "You can see the fruit of wisdom by the lives of those who follow it. This godless world is like a know-it-all teenager. He gets a buzz from dope, enjoys sex with his gorgeous girlfriend, loves driving fast cars, and going to wild parties. He lives on the edge, ignoring the wisdom of his"

Harvest Weekend Devotion for 3/19/2011: "Oxymoron": "We have all heard of various oxymoronic terms that are commonly used. For instance:
* Freezer burn

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/18/2011: "A Counterfeit Gospel"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/18/2011: "A Counterfeit Gospel": "I watched a very famous preacher being interviewed awhile ago on television. When the topic of sin came up, the preacher said, 'I never talk about sin. I never use the word 'sin,' because people already know they are sinners. I am not here to beat people down. I just want to lift them up.' However, I don't think that most people know they are sinners. And our job is not just to lift people up; it is to point them to Christ. So we have to use the word 'sin.'"
Letter from Prison | Bezeugen BLOG
Letter from Prison | Bezeugen BLOG: "We receive a number of letters from people especially those in our tract club. Few have been as touching as this letter that I received last week. Like much of Paul’s writings in the New Testament, you see, this letter was written from a prison cell. I was certainly surprised when a few months back a prisoner enrolled in our tract club. Please read in his own words how he is utilizing our Gospel tracts in prison:"
