John Piper: The Prosperity Gospel is Idolatry | Best Videos: "I cannot ever remember hearing a prosperity preacher quote the Bible verse 1 Timothy 6:10 (ESV) which says, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

The Everyday Club 2013 « Stone the Preacher: "On January 1, 2004, I made a commitment to share my faith every day. (Read about that here.) Making this commitment has taught me to be a more gracious Christian in the face of opposition, a more faithful evangelist in the presence of the unsaved, and a more thankful disciple of Christ.

What signs indicate that the end times are approaching?

What signs indicate that the end times are approaching?: "Answer: Matthew 24:5-8 gives us some important clues so we can discern the approach of the end times, “For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, and increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters—these are signs of the end times. In this passage, though, we are given a warning: we are not to be deceived, because these events are only the beginning of birth pains; the end is still to come."

D. A. Carson on 5 Ways to Prepare Kids for Attacks on Their Faith – Justin Taylor

D. A. Carson on 5 Ways to Prepare Kids for Attacks on Their Faith – Justin Taylor: "There is no formulaic answer and no guarantee. For a start, our children themselves are extraordinarily diverse. Many will be tempted by postmodern assumptions. Others will feel far greater threats from biologists, cosmologists, or psychologists who operate under the assumptions of raw atheism or, worse, functional atheism. All I can do is enumerate some values and practices in the home that seem to me to be wise, biblically faithful, and useful in mitigating the dangers. These are exemplary, not exhaustive."
