“At the end of the day we’re all on the same side,” says Hillsong celeb Brian Houston of Mark Driscoll’s sudden attack of conscience. Speaking at the Hillsong conference, Mark Driscoll repented for a number of things. Praise God. Hallelujah. Milking the Best-Seller’s List by Improperly Using Church Funds Asking staff about their wive’s favorite […]
Well this is ironic. A New Ager and religious skeptic will visit the church of a “pastor” who’s had no theological training and on top of that teaches the heretical prosperity gospel, to find out Christianity’s view of God. Leave it to Hollywood to ask someone who’s not even a Bible believing Christian to explain who the God of the Bible is. […]
Anyone who follows the news knows that mega pop-star Justin Bieber has made headlines for behaving badly. What some of you may not know is that Justin’s a professing Christian.

Many Christians feel that there’s no problem with “shacking up” because “everyone else is doing it.” However, they cannot point to the scriptures to show that God approves of “try before you buy.” In Part 1, Unger lays out a biblical framework for […]

Okay, please don’t forget the Bible and the Holy Spirit – I was kidding. But if you are wondering how professing […]
Things Jesus our Savior never said, but the false spirit of “Jesus Calling” did: When the path before you is dotted with difficulties, beware of measuring your strength against those challenges. Without Me, you will not make it past the first hurdle. Hat tip to Warren B. Smith for alerting me to this. Warren has […]
Kudos to Steve Kozar over at the Messed Up Church blog (love that blog name), for this article, which captures the more frustrating elements of trying to contend for the faith in an environment where yeast grows freely. (Plus, it’s the first Christian blog I know of that has found a way to incorporate Shaba […]
