I just finished reading Inspiration and Incarnation by Peter Enns, a book that was, in unequal measures, edifying and frustrating. First, the strengths. Enns does a superb job, on a number of issues, of raising questions that easily frustrate traditional Bible believers. This is because traditional Bible believers want (in the name of inerrancy) a …
The Source of the Problem
“Islam does not countenance accepting part of the Koran and disdaining the rest. Islamic authorities insist that all of the Koran is God’s word settled in heaven from eternity past — abrogations, hell-threats and war verses included. Thus the Koran itself is a de facto crowbar radical Muslims can use to leverage moderate Muslims away …
Kinda Fun
Today this little blog o’ mine (I’m gonna let it shine!) passed a significant milestone. The January just passed was the first month where I averaged over 4,000 visitors a day. Great to have you all here.
Charismatics Don’t Believe that Prophecy is for Today Either
“More than a few pastors have wondered whether they are being theologically dishonest in saying that the ‘sign gifts’ are no longer operative in the church today. True, the charismatic movement gives us great reason to be suspicious, and it is a pleasure to be prejudiced and bigoted sometimes, especially when Benny Hinn is involved, …
The Duty to Fight the Infidel
“In fact, there are at least 109 identifiable war verses in the Koran. One out of every 55 verses in the Koran is a war verse” (Don Richardson, Secrets of the Koran, p. 28).

Look at Your Hands
The fact of death is woven into this fallen creation. The fact of resurrection is woven into the new creation. We are to live in the old order, as heirs of the new. We cannot do this by sight, and so we are summoned to walk by faith. Look at your hands. You know that …
Another Thing Science Can’t Do
“The reconstruction of the autographic text is a task outside the competence of science, and any attempt to submit the task to scientific canons will only result in increasing confusion. A process of scholarly reconstruction here makes sense only when undergirded with faith in the living God who controls the flow of all historical events. …
No Mas
As some may know, I have had a link to the Little Geneva website under the Moonbats category, and which I had labeled as “Clever Zionist Tricks.” I am now removing that link because it appears as though the website has folded. Whatever the reason, I am grateful that the number of attack web sites …
Please, Pat, Stop
Frank Turk has put together a good thing for you to sign. After Pat Robertson’s most recent prophetic embarrassment, Frank organized a petition for Christians to sign if they would like Robertson to cease and desist. Frank has also given a short explanation of what this is supposed to do here. Please cruise on over. …
