Here is a video about the responsibility of each and every Christian to always be"ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence...1 Peter 3:15"

Like Pastor Voddie Baucham says, "If you can't say 'Amen!' you gotta say, 'Ouch!'"

Jesus Died! - Paul Washer

This is a GREAT Gospel presentation by Paul Washer. I loved every minute of it. Its so easy for us as Christians to be bored with the Gospel or to forget about its significance or life-changing power. May we never be tired or afraid to share the true Gospel message just like Paul Washer does here!

Rioting in London

For those of you who don’t know, the police in England have been fighting four days of looting and rioting in cities across Britain. The majority of the looters appear to be young adults. The rioters have spent their time smashing into stores, setting cars and dumpsters on fire, and shooting fireworks at the police. The news has been covering the destruction that has been inflicted on the locals as well as the reluctance of the police to use harsher methods (i.e tear gas and water cannons) to squelch the riots. Several different reasons have been given for the motivation behind the disturbance, like the slashes in government spending, the unemployment, racial tensions etc. etc. What I found very interesting is that no one seems to be asking the question, “Why are the young people so involved?” Of the 450 people arrested over the course of three days, over 100 were 21 or younger and that number continues to grow day after day. The news interviewed one of the rioters and this is what he said:

“This is the uprising of the working class. We're redistributing the wealth," said Bryn Phillips, a 28-year-old self-described anarchist, as young people emerged from the store with chocolate bars and ice cream cones.

This is the product of years of evolutionary, communistic, man-centered education and ideologies that has taken over Britain’s society. When you have youth, teenagers, and young adults being fed this in the schools and from the news, it is no wonder that this kind of behavior is the result. If you believe that there is no right or wrong, that wealth should be equally shared by all, and that might makes right, then you will have justification for this kind of anarchy. Here is another quote the news shared:

Many appeared attracted simply by the opportunity for violence. "Come join the fun!" shouted one youth in the east London suburb of Hackney, where shops were attacked and cars torched.

Combined with all the man-centered teaching in the schools, you also have a generation of young people who are devoted to entertainment and pleasure no matter what the cost. Setting fire to cars and looting shops is just another avenue for personal enjoyment. What’s so wrong with that?

This generation of looters and pillagers are the future voters, workers, and leaders of Britain’s society. If this kind of disregard of personal property, disobedience to civil authorities, and addiction to entertainment continues, who can say where the country will go.

Proverbs 10:23-25,

Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, and so is wisdom to a man of understanding. What the wicked fears will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

Is There Really a Hell?

I don't know if any of you have heard of Rob Bell and his latest work "Love Wins". The views expressed by Mr. Bell blow my mind. He asks questions that demonstrate his misconceptions about who God is and more importantly, who he is. Who are we to question God? Hopefully this will make you all consider why teaching like this is so dangerous and to be refuted at every point. I thought the spoof at the end was really good. Enjoy!

A Challenge from Mr. Doug Phillips

The Gauntlet is Thrown

“The way I see it, the doctrine that men are to defend women and children is one of the last great bulwarks of Christendom.

When it falls, so too falls our civilization.

Behind and interwoven into this doctrine are ten thousand principles of law and life crucial for the health of the family, the church, and the state. And all of these doctrines flow from the very Creation order itself and the person of Jesus Christ who modeled for men everywhere in all times that the groom, not the bride, is called to sacrificially die for his loved one…

Together, we stand on the rock Christ Jesus and His Holy Scripture. We formally challenge church leaders to pick up this gauntlet by opposing those politicians who will perpetuate the feminization of the military, and by governing their own churches with clear opposition to the idea that any woman “bought with a price” would exchange her femininity for an M-16.”
