So I was sent a Babylon Bee article a few days ago that played the parody of a church coming up with a Bible study based upon the Netflix show “Stranger Things.” It was a very funny read until someone sent me the link to a Relevant Magazine article, The Gospel According to Stranger Things. When I began … Read more

I haven’t looked at the “Christian Bestsellers” list, as compiled by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, in quite some time. I made the mistake of doing so this morning. You can find the list HERE. Just be warned, if you practice discernment (as you should, 1 Thessalonians 5:21) and have concern for the right handling … Read more

We are designing tracts for the sake of evangelism and Polemics. The fact is, cultists and the theologically confused need Jesus, too. The problem is, they think they’re already saved. These tracts are designed to clarify for them exactly what is the Gospel, and explain why their beliefs do not accord to sound doctrine. The … Read more

Bearing a rhetorically inverse relationship, it seems, to the believer’s duty to discernment is the occasionally seen-on-a-meme quote by Joseph Heller, from his work Catch-22, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” To be sure, for the Christian, the enemy is always on the prowl.  He is always after believing prey of … Read more

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? – 1 Corinthians 5:12 One good thing about Beth Moore, she’s consistent. You always know what you’re going to get. You’ll get a little bit of extra-biblical revelation, followed by some old-fashioned narcigesis. Then, if … Read more

Nobody likes polemics, I think.  I know I don’t.  I yearn for an ecclesiastic environment where Scripture-abiding preachers serve diligently as shepherds by not only edifying Christ’s sheep with the Word but also fending off the incessant onslaught of wolves seeking to mislead “even the elect if possible.” (Matthew 24:24) Instead, those wolves are not, for … Read more

The Crystal Cathedral, the largest glass building in the world, stands in Orange County, CA as a testament to the idolatry of money and self. The congregation of Robert Schuller, founder of the bankrupt Crystal Cathedral Minstries, once dwelt in this building until it was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange for nearly 60 … Read more
