Advanced Thinkers

False doctrine is not made harmless by winking at it. God hates whatever gloss we put on such lies. No lie is of the truth, and no amount of ‘tolerance and acceptance’ can make it so. A doctrine is right, or it is wrong, there is no middle [...]

An Article I’d Like to Read

Remember reading this article about five months ago? http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/gallery/2011/05/the_world_is_ending_drive_safely.html I’d love to read it rewritten thusly:

There’s something remarkable about an apology. It could be whispered or shouted. It could be written on a scrap of paper or even a napkin. But seldom does an apology happen on a large scale.

Scripture Pickers (continued)

“Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.” — Jude 3

If you’ve ever talked to someone about your faith, or religion in general, you’ve probably heard the words, “Well, that’s not what I believe.” And when you prod the person who says this, you ultimately come [...]

Joyce Meyer doesn't sin

Believe it or not, she says she isn’t a sinner anymore. Listen for yourself.

My opinion really doesn’t matter (ever heard a blogger say that?!), so I’ll just quote scripture.

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. – Romans 3:23

There is no one who does good, not even one. [...]

A Dearth of Discernment

Biblical discernment is the skill that is lacking most among Christians in America today. This is the only explanation for the huge following that people like Joel Osteen enjoy. It takes only a little Biblical knowledge to refute claims like the following:

Osteen sez (at 1:53),

The scripture says in Ephesians 1 verse 4, ‘Long before God [...]
