The Problem of All or Nothing

Lord, Move Us!

It was our second day in Asia. The night before, I had experienced my first “English Corner” – an opportunity to meet students, speak to them in English, and share with them my culture, my experiences, and most of all, my faith in Christ. In our initial English corner, I was the first one Ellen [...]

Remember Who You Are

2 comments

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19 Flee. Run. Hide. Seek. Turn. Emerge. Rinse and repeat? For too many people, life has become an extended game of playground freeze [...]

In the wake of the latest set of arguments about whether Calvinists have been here, are being here, or evermore shall be here, I was reading a few blog posts on the issue. Naturally, I read here, since I am supposedly a contributor here and will get co-blamed for anything that happens at this site. [...]

  And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” – Revelation 21:5 I wish — though I don’t believe in wishes — that I could take a number two pencil and write down on a blue-lined piece of three-hole-punched notebook paper the moments of my life, label it [...]

Open Letter to T.D. Jakes

122 comments

This was originally posted at Modern March Bishop Jakes, Let me first commend you on your acceptance to join the furnace that is the Elephant Room. You have taken a lot of heat over the years from pastors and theologians of all ilks, and you have handled it rather gracefully just as you did today. [...]

20 comments

He ends up saying the same thing over and over without actually advancing beyond his main idea for many pages. Second, he fails [...]
