Many in our culture seem to have the attitude that God owes us something, that He is lucky to have us around doing good works, etc. Those, particularly in the west, seem to also thing that we are entirely self-sufficient. We forget that not only is Christ the One who sustains us, (Colossians 1:17) [...] I can’t say it is very often (if at all in the past) that I would find myself saying “Amen” to something that Christopher Hitchens, the author of God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, would say. In an interview between atheist Hitchens and Unitarian minister Marilyn Sewell he says something I can [...] Michael Horton in The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World looks at the question of "saved from what?” in light of the various theories of the Atonement, as the answer varies among Christians today. He then offers his answer. Christ’s work is completed in the context of the [...]
Why is it that in search of being “relevant,” the church has often substituted moralism for the drama that unfolds in scripture? Why is it that we focus more on marriages, our purpose, stewardship and countless of other items that wind their way into sermons rather than “the greatest story ever told” [...] We are all familiar with invasions with Iraq and Afghanistan. I remember the invasion of Grenada when I was a kid. Those older than me will certainly remember D-Day and Pacific theater invasions of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Two thousand years ago an invasion took place as well. Chuck Colson in his book [...] I decided while waiting for an appointment that I’ll get a discussion going on God’s foreknowledge based on this passage from C.S.

One of my favorite Christmas Carols is “What Child Is This?” was discussed in church today. Written in 1865 by an Englishman William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) who was the manager of a marine insurance company in Glasgow, Scotland. He wrote more than 40 hymns over the course of his life. The video [...] A few days ago I read in The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World by Michael Horton something that is so true. We aren’t, as a culture, really prepared to live. Why? Because we aren’t prepared for death. Dr. Horton explains: We are not really prepared for life [...] What is at the heart of Christianity? It isn’t moralistic teaching. It isn’t advice that we are given on being “better people.” It isn’t the “Golden Rule.” Michael Horton in his new book The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World answers this question: At its heart, then, Christianity [...] |
