Is the Younger Schuller out for Preaching the Bible?
If you don’t know, Robert A. Schuller (son) has been removed as the host of the television show the “Hour of Power” by his father and founder of the show Robert H. Schuller.
You may or may not know that Robert H. Schuller (father) has based his “ministry” on rejecting true biblical teaching for a doctrine [...]
Idolatry of Politics.
Below is a post I wrote earlier this year about the idolatry of Politics. With the election next week, I thought I might repost it today. The key thing to remember is that our savior is not John McCain, Barack Obama, or even this country. God is still on the throne and will work all of this [...]
Full StorySin is Illogical
Have you ever thought about sin having a logical component to it? Think about it. What sense does it make to disobey the Almighty God? Why would you do anything to anger the God who spoke all of creation into existence? When you think about power of God along with our finitude it is clear [...]
Full StoryA New Church in Spring Hill
I just want to pass along to you the news of a new church that is starting up tomorrow night in Spring Hill, Tennessee. I say it is starting tomorrow, but the reality is that the church has been in existence and growing for some time. The foundation for this new church has been a [...]
Full StoryWhy do we worship idols?
To answer this question simply: God made us this way. I know what you are thinking, God did not create me so that I would worship food, sex, politics, or whatever else. Such things are sinful, and God does not want us to sin so he could not have created us this way. To that point [...]

Full StoryInefficient Missions
I came across a Wall Street Journal article yesterday that calls into question the effectiveness of short-term mission trips. The essence of the article questions the economics of short-term mission trips citing one person who described one mission trip to Honduras where teams spent $30,000 to build a home that could have been built by [...]
Full StoryObservation on Abortion & the Current Climate
I had a thought earlier today about the last two debates I have watched (VP & presidential) and I don’t think there was a single question in either of them about abortion yet both debates included questions about global warming? Now, I could be wrong about that and just missed it, but I don’t recall [...]
Full StoryA Snapshot of a Church Plant in Progress
I came across the following update on the Jacob’s Well church-plant that Reid Monaghan is heading up in New Jersey (link). I don’t really know Reid, but he was in a few seminary classes with me at the Nashville extension center so I have followed what he is doing via the blogosphere.
I recommend you read [...]
