I’ve actually attended a church that does this, very interesting. I think it’s good that these guys tie it in to Christ at the end and share the good news about Christ, despite my theological quibbles with the “altar call” methodology. So long as this is truly being done to the glory of God, I [...]

It seems that Christophobia is rampant these days. Nothing causes such a stir as two simple words: “Jesus Christ.” Have you ever noticed that if a chaplain closes a prayer “in Jesus’ name,” it makes headlines, but if a religious leader prays to Allah, Benevolent Spirit, Jehovah, etc. no one bats an eye?

How must have early followers preached to attract so many new followers to the faith in such a difficult time? Why would anyone come to faith in Christ when it meant almost certain death? [...]

It’s no big secret that the gospel of American Christianity is really no Gospel at all — see my recent post entitled American Jesus: A Manifesto for more on that. But this is much more significant than just the presentation of “Decision Theology” and other Pelagian ideals, it involves a complete removal of Christ from [...]

I normally write more thought-provoking, lengthy articles and such. But pardon me while I rant a moment about this. From the Christian Post: An eighth grader at a New Jersey middle school was sent home Friday after he dressed up as Jesus Christ for Halloween. Alex Woinski, 13, wore a white robe, red sash, sandals, [...]
