I have read another diatribe from one of the
emergent church supporters on the attack of terms
used to describe believers vs unbelievers (
iamjoshbrown.com). The
amount of bad theology in his post is pretty
frightening. Again, no scriptural evidence
supports his ideas but rather he uses terms
such as, “I think”, “I have a strange
suspicion”, “God doesn’t think like that”,
“God doesn’t need” and so on. Now these
statements in themselves are not necessarily
wrong however does he support anything he says
with scripture to verify what God does say?
Unfortunately, no, not a single scriptural
reference is given to any of “his” ideas. I
wonder why anyone would listen to a person
claiming to be a follower of Christ but
instead gives completely false claims to the
labels used by God Himself throughout the
Bible.

Today in the Christian community some of the
most basic and plain truths of the Bible are being
challenged. I have read and listened to people who
are claiming there is no heaven nor hell. They are
not real places and the kingdom of heaven is found
here on earth. The people who are making this claim
are not atheist but people who claim to be
Christians living for Jesus.
Why are these basic foundations of the Bible being
challenged by people.? How do you possibly read
scripture and say there is no heaven or hell? What
the heck is scripture talking about when it speaks
of these terms? Is it just symbolic, a metaphor, an
analogy or is it just what it says it is?

Life
12 years ago my mom was diagnosed with brain
and lung cancer. It was a day I will never forget.
My world came crashing down around me with complete
disbelief in what was happening. I remember I
wanted to just crawl up in a ball and sleep it
away. She had less than a 1% chance of surviving
more than 6 months. 12 years later after brain
surgery and a lung removal it has come back in a
vengeful way. Monday January 14th 2008 my mom has
been given less than a week to live. They have
found a massive tumor in her brain and now is in a
hospital bed in the middle of my sister’s house
waiting to make her final journey to home. A home
that Christ has promised to her, to me and to you
if we are willing to turn to Him.

Oprah has launched a new radio program called
"
A Course in
Miracles". This is the just downright
sickening and I can't believe anyone would buy
into this gobbly gook. Here is an excerpt on
what this course is all about.
"A Course in Miracles (often called just "the
Course") is an educational program for retraining
the mind that is spiritual, rather than religious,
in its perspective. Although it uses Christian
terminology, the Course expresses a universal
experience, and its underlying ontology is
reminiscent of ancient refrains, echoing the
world’s most hallowed traditions. …

Apologetics
For Christmas this year I received the new
Apologetics Study Bible. I have found some
interesting articles in it already. Some are very
good and some that I do not agree with completely
(of course not the scripture but commentaries and
articles in it). But there is a fantastic article
by the late
D. James Kennedy
titled Christ: The Fulfillment of Prophecy.
Read through these scriptures and at the end
he asks a skeptic a very good question.
