The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Psalm 51:17) If you and I have a broken spirit, all idea of our own importance is gone. What is the use of a broken heart...

The Emerging Church often speaks of how diverse it is and difficult to understand. Well, Pyromaniacs has an easy-to-understand chartthat all of us can now follow.


“0h brother, pray; in spite of Satan, pray; spend hours in prayer; rather neglect friends than not pray; rather fast, and lose breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper – and sleep too – than not pray. And we must not talk about prayer, we must pray in right earnest. The Lord is near...

There are very few Believers in Politics. The venue draws those who are self centered seeking vain-glory and power. They pander to the Church to win their support but only give lip service. They are a cup which is clean on the outside and corrupt on the inside.


Troy Newman and Operation Rescue has led peaceful opposition to late-term abortionist Dr. Tiller for years in Wichita, providing help for pregnant moms in crisis and sharing Christ with them. This weekend, their offices were attacked. The police, however, don’t appear to be concerned...


Famed atheist, Richard Dawkins, has set up a kids camp to help create more atheists. The camp is reportedly full already. Instead of singing Kumbiya and other campfire favourites, they will sit around the embers belting out “Imagine there’s no heaven . . . and no religion t

What's next? Today's youth sing every crazy pop song and seem to ignore great sacred song of the past centuries. After attendance at "Elijah" (Mendelssohn), I must admit schools do a better job of choral singing than churches today.

Don’t kid yourself,what you’ll see in this video clip from Christian Research Net really is very different than what’s being taughtwithin growing sections of the evangelical camp right now. *wink*

I watched this and wondered 'who are they singing to or about?' and 'who do they worship?' It's clear by the end of this advertisement that these people worship themselves. They believe salvation is in their own hands.

To the guy that thinks this country was founded and built by people that believed in a loving god that wouldn't damn people to hell, I recommend he pick up a copy of the New England Primer. In the 1800's, elementary age kids were being taugh big words like abomination, and forication.

Everyone would be set free at their trial, because we don't believe in a justice system that condemns people. Rapists, murders, and drug dealers get off scot free. That is the kind of god they believe in.
It grieves me to see deception. I pray God will open their eyes to the truth, or return quickly before they drag more people down with them.

Guideposts just sent me a press release because the editors are excited about this new article called, “Pet Worship.” It seems that the pastor couldn’t get people to church to worship the Lord, so she was inspired to include dogs, and now people are willing to come...

This isn't evangelism, it's marketing. When the focus is just filling the pews and not sanctification, something is desperately wrong.

What will be the next thing to get people to church? Maybe something novel like preaching the Word of God? That is where we need to be!

It kills me, too. You would not believe the amount of this kind of teaching that has come out of the mouths of the Protestant Chaplains. Precisely why I am considering getting into the Chaplaincy. To put my two cents of the Truth in.

Life with God isn't what we would consider "good." As Christians, we are to share in the sufferings of our Savior. How does that translate into "good, joyful, meaningful, and positive" to the average American?

Those that state that are under a delusion. They are not grafted into the True Vine. They in fact are in route to embrace "Mystery Babylon" which has infected the western church.

This is great to know. I know that unfortunately I can be a tech head with thecomputer due to lack of true conversation in life that doesn't involve the news all the time. But I do miss that sweet communion with the Lord. Thanks for the reminder.

That is what the early church was fighting. Goddess worship incorporated temple prostitutes to (get in touch with the spirit). Sex and/or violence have always played a huge role in pagan practices down through history. It is not surprising that the false gospel churches are beginning to go public with these practices.

There use to be a time not too long ago when to be called a "Southern Baptist" was an insult according to the World's standards. We believed that God's Word was/is infallible.

The Christian Post reports that the Episcopal church has appointed a panel of theologians to study the morality of homosexuality. That’s like appointing a panel to study the morality of rape or pedophilia. The Bible is clear: homosexuality is sin (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, etc.)...

Wilkerson has not been liked for many reasons including his straight fowardness of the presentation of the gospel.
