  1. Poor Robert Schuller

    Crystal Cathedral makes deep cuts as revenues drop By GILLIAN FLACCUS, The Associated Press 2010-01-30 13:15:10.0 GARDEN GROVE, Calif. - Blaming a struggling U.S. economy, the megachurch founded by Robert H. Schuller Sr. is pulling its signature TV program "Hour of Power" and taking other...

  2. The Emergent Church

    I have been reading through the latest release of the Trinity Review. This is utterly fascinating, the author, Paul M. Elliott, is discussing the emergent church movement and how it denies the 5 solas. What I found so interesting is that this movement is accepting of everyone regardless of what...

  4. Prayers For Sale?

    Below is an article I thought was very amusing. Amusing enough to make some comments. As usual my responses will be in red letters. Nicholas Does His Business Have a Prayer? Geoff Williams, AOL Small Business,

  5. Did Christianity Cause the Crash?

    This was an interesting yet pathetically sad read: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200912/rosin-prosperity-gospel/2 Churchianity is so antichrist, it is almost comical.

  6. Anglicans And The Pope

    After reading this article today, I was not shocked at all of the devices and plans Rome employs to further offer reconciliation and unity to her whore daughters. For those who have been blinded by God to even consider Rome as a viable part of the “true and living” Body of Christ, it is further...

  7. John Piper & gays in the ELCA

The irony is that they were meeting at Central lutheran in Minneapolis and voting for the amendment at the convention center downtown Minneapolis, a non violent thundershower produced a few small tornadoes...

  8. Calvinist Founders of America

    I read this essay today and found it fairly interesting. I have wondered to just what degree the earliest settlers of what is now the U.S.A. were calvinist. This essay gives a little glimpse of that. http://reformed-theology.org/html/issue06/calvin.htm I especially think the following...

  12. Does the Athanasian Creed teach justification by faith alone?

    The first line of the Creed,“Quicunque vult salvus esse,” is literally translated “Whoever desires to be saved.” It is evident that “Whoever desires to be saved” cannot refer to any unregenerate man. Before a person is reborn by the Holy Spirit, he is in such bondage to sin, death, and the devil...

  13. Do the Canons of Dordt teach Justification by Faith Alone?

    Two passages from the Canons of Dordt raise questions regarding the Canons' commitment to justification by faith alone. According to the Canons, deliverance from God's anger is dependent upon man's acceptance and embrace of Jesus as Savior. However, natural man is in bondage to sin, death,...

  14. Have old line churchly institutions outlived their usefulness?

    Have the old line churchly institutions outlived their usefulness? By old line churchly institutions, I mean synods, episcopates, associations, presbyteries, etc. These institutions, perhaps, at one time did some good things but now they seem to be dying as membership contracts. They are burdened...

  16. Early texts from the Jewish "baby" Ekklesia compared to the inspiration given to Paul

    Well, under the common risks I take when I touch on this subject, I would like to know if anyone cares (if not, and if monosyllabic, it is all right), to discuss whether some texts of the Synoptic Gospels and the book of Acts should not be compared and interpreted under the light of the teachings...

  17. Does Westminster teach Justification by Inward Transformation?

    In the thread "The Augustinian Captivity of the Reformed Church" Robert R. Higby defends the framers of the Westminster Confession. He states that they did not intend to teach justification by inward transformation. I heartily agree. However, the topic of this thread is not their intent but what...

  18. Thumbs up The Augustinian Captivity of the Reformed Church

    It is always interesting when I converse with reformed protestants that live in my community. Although they would say they disagree with most teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, they hold up and lend credence to Augustine of Hippo as if he was some great Protestant reformer. How naive they have...

  20. The Trinity

    I'm shocked, or perhaps not, at how little the mainline churches mention God as Trinity. It seems folks want to argue and fight over the second coming, nuances of this and that, the doctrines of Grace but will not take the time to study the scriptures as they relate to our Triune God. Or study to...
