Emergent Churches Are Kingdom Builders!Brian McLaren refers to the kingdom incessantly in his book and someone needs to remind him what Jesus said in John 18:36: “My kingdom is not of this world.”
The Emergent Church Runs Away from the Bible!Emergent Church leaders ask the same question Satan asked in the Garden, “Hath God said?” They have no confidence in the Word so they have no compass, chart, or anchor. In my opinion, they are not even on the Boat!
Scriptural Truth is Unimportant to Emergent Churches!Some of the Emergent leaders… …have led the nebulous movement into deep, stagnant waters of heresy; but then that has
always happened when a person, church, college, or a movement gets away from the Bible.
What is Emerging From the Emergent Church?The Emergent Church heavily promotes many pagan and heretical practices although its adherents profess to be “evangelical.” They may possess a desire to move the world but they are moving it in the wrong direction.
What Would Happen if there was an Olympics and Nobody Came?On Aug. 10, President Bush attended a registered church just before the opening of the Olympic Games. The Washington
Times reported that Bush was denied permission to visit an unregistered church service or meet with officials of the unregistered church movement.
What Does a Man Have to do to be Disciplined by His Church?What do John Edwards, Bill Clinton, and Jesse Jackson have in common? They all violated their marriage vows, lied, then toyed with a confession. They should be kicked out of their churches!
Calvinism: Not Tiptoeing Through the TULIPS!Did a sovereign God choose before the foundation of the world those chosen for Heaven and permit all others to be consigned to Hell?
Bush Should be Kicked Out of His Church!I voted for George Bush and have supported many of his positions; however, recently I realized that if I were his pastor, I would have no choice but to confront his heresy and unchristian living, request his repentance and if he refused, have him voted out of our membership!
Must Church Leaders Always Obey the Law?Government is about control, and officials cannot abide ordinary citizens telling them, “No, I won’t obey that law.” According to Francis Schaffer, if you affirm that government must be obeyed under all circumstances then you have made government your god and you are a slave. It amounts to state worship.
Did Trinity Baptist Leadership Cover-up the Bob Gray Mess?According to my informants, rumors regarding Gray have been circulating for many years. It’s been reported to me that several Baptist leaders took the position that the rumors were “all lies.” I have enormous respect for those men but how do they know “it was all lies.”?
A Christians Unconventional View of TerrorI am not a hand-wringing, soft-spoken, lips-pursing pacifist! I believe in personal and national self-defense. But I have an unconventional view of terrorism.
Catholic Bishop More Principled than Baptist Pastors!It is past time to revive that discarded, disabused practice of church discipline and use it against erring laymen and pastors. If not, how can we call ourselves “Bible believing,” Bible practicing Baptists?
Why Would a Baptist Church Hire an Accused Child Molester as a Counselor? Part 2I have observed a “cover-up” mentality in many large Baptist churches that seems to be systemic. They emphasize the inerrancy of the Bible but are very weak on implementing Biblical procedures of church discipline. Why boast about preaching the very Word of God if it is not practiced in personal lives and in church procedures?
Rise and Fall of Southwide Baptist Fellowship!The music became louder and more contemporary and “progressive” pastors began to dominate the platform. Southern Baptist preachers became more numerous until some of us thought they were equal partners in the deal. They never were.
Mess in Memphis: Bellevue Baptist, Another Mega-church in Trouble!Now we have the Memphis Mess as Bellevue Baptist, the flagship church of Southern Baptists is embroiled in a major battle that involves charges against a longtime associate pastor—charges of incest, molestation, sodomy, and rape; a major cover-up by the new pastor and his alleged trespassing on a critical deacon’s posted property; lying; intimidation; misuse of church credit cards; and on and on and on!
