“Our heartbeat is to see the campuses of this nation awaken to God.”

Young, Restless, and Reformed (YRR) – RIP?
“I’ve been pondering a post on this thing that’s been called Young, Restless, and Reformed. What’s good? What’s bad? What needs to be celebrated? What needs to addressed? For starters, it may be time to retire the name.”
An Ultrasound of Abuse
"If it's not requiring her (a wife) to sin but simply hurting her, then I think she endures verbal abuse for a season, and she endures perhaps being smacked for one night and then she seeks help from the church."
John Piper, Al Mohler and Others Respond to 9/11 and Other Disasters
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain. CS Lewis
Calvinists, Calvinistas and Me
"Here’s my rule of thumb: the more responsible a person is to shape the thoughts of others about God, the less Arminianism should be tolerated. Therefore church members should not be excommunicated for this view but elders and pastors and seminary and college teachers should be expected to hold the more fully biblical view of grace.

Will There Be Soldiers of Genghis Khan in Heaven?
"'Then instantly the pale brightness of the mist and the fiery brightness of the Lion rolled themselves together into a swirling glory and gathered themselves up and disappeared.'" CS Lewis The Horse and His Boy sunset over the sahara-NASA In CS Lewis’s final book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, called The Last Battle, Emeth, who had been a soldier of Tash, the evil Tisroc, is told to view the body of his dead leader in a stable. Unbeknownst to Emeth, this stable was a portal to the new Narnia. This was an allegory of the new earth as talked about in Revelation. The Lion is Aslan, the Christ figure. The following is Emeth’s account: LINK “By the Gods, this is a pleasant place; it may be that I am come into the country of Tash. And I began to journey into the strange country and to seek him. [...]" "[...] there came to meet me a great Lion [...] Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not Continue reading →
Rob Bell, Martin Bashir and Babies in Hell…?
"The safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts." -C. S. Lewis Rob Bell at Mars Hill Link I am continuing in my schizophrenic approach to Rob Bell and the theology behind heaven and hell. Do infants who die go to hell?
You Know You Might Be a Fundamentalist, a Calvinist or an Evangelical If…
“We’ve gotten beyond the Galatian brand of legalism today. We haven’t resurrected circumcision as a requirement for salvation, and we’re clear that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ apart from the keeping of the law. Instead, we have developed another brand of legalism, a brand that is concerned, not with salvation, but with how we live the Christian life. I call this “evangelical legalism”… Jerry Bridges John Piper recently wrote an article entitled: 20 Reasons I Don’t Take Potshots at Fundamentalists. Link. I disagree (surprise, surprise!) with many of his suppositions which I find rather strange for a recognized Biblical scholar. Why? Many people in our society have no understanding what constitutes true Christian faith. It is far too easy for unbelievers to think they must dress like a dork and accept Jesus in order to be considered a Christian. Betcha think that I am exaggerating.
