- A Stepford God March 29, 2008In chapter seven of his book, The Reason for God, Tim Keller addresses the common objection of skeptics that "you can't take the Bible literally". At the conclusion of the chapter he writes: If you don't trust the Bible enough to let it challenge and correct your thinking, how could you ever have a personal relationship with God? In any t […](author unknown)
- Oprah's New Jesus February 27, 2008Oprah has skyrocketed the career of another author on her book club. But this endorsement is a bit heart-wrenching. She's taking her fans through a year-long "Course in Miracles" by Marianne Williamson. Each day, her book club site features a different lesson on this essentially new religion. Here are some quotes from this book: "There is […]Ben Arment

- Nothing Stands Against Christ February 28, 2008(Author: John Piper) What about those hungry fellows who promised not to eat till they ambushed Paul? We read about them in Acts 23:12, “When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.” It didn't work. Why? Because a string of unlikely events happened. A boy over heard the plot. T […](author unknown)
- Is Forgiveness Conditional or Unconditional? February 15, 2008Some time ago I promised an article on the subject of conditional versus unconditional forgiveness. I’ve had many false starts and have been largely unsatisfied with anything I’ve written on the subject. So I decided to simplify and to provide only an outline of my thoughts on the subject.
