If there are any Redeemed in the Episcopal church, it is not because of the leadership. It is in spite of it. I have a big problem with Katherine Jefferts Schori. Because she’s a women who is leading one of the oldest Christian denominations in direct opposition to Paul’s letter to Timothy? Because she’s openly [...]

“If the Devil can’t make you bad…”

Posted: August 28, 2009 by Jedi in Jesus

“…He’ll make you busy.” That’s how the saying goes. What if rather than “busy”, the Devil made you forget? So there I was quickly scanning an interview in the Christian Post On “Losing your Religion” and Andy Stanley said most people fall away “[Because they] lose ‘the epicenter of enduring faith,’ which is the idea [...]

It was only a matter of time before Lutheran Churches started dropping “Lutheran” from the name after the recent sin acceptance vote. During church last Sunday a West Virginia Pastor said after dropping the reference to the Reformer, “I asked that be done because I’m ashamed. I’m ashamed of what the Evangelical Lutheran Church in [...]

I’ve often wondered what would happen if I were given the opportunity to preach in front of a large group of people that I knew were mostly headed for Hell. What would I say? Would I share with them the Gospel that Jesus died for the sins of those who will repent and put their [...]

What if there were a Denomination that became Apostate? Let’s just say that Denomination did something like decide to vote on whether or not to allow openly gay pastors into their pulpits? The vote is scheduled for 2pm on a Wednesday. It’s now 2pm. Almost like clockwork you see a funnel cloud start to descend [...]

Yes, I know, it’s not Saturday. I’ll be where there is no reliable Wifi and (hopefully) working on some “proofs” and Bible contradiction rebuttals for the next couple of days, so the regular Saturday posting is going up a little early this week. In order to prevent Spam I’m holding all comments unless you’ve been [...]

He could have been called “The other James”, “James the Second”, or even “Jimmy2″. Unfortunately Church history refers to the second James martyred as “James the Less”. This is more than likely due to the unfortunate fact that the 2nd person to be martyred in Foxe’s book had already taken the title of “James the [...]

Unless someone is seriously contemplating suicide, they are pro-life. Just ask them if they wish their mother were pro-choice. I can’t imagine even Margaret Sanger stating that she wished her mother had the option for abortion. Of course the tune changes when it comes to their own kids. Not everyone who reads this knows who [...]

Michael Kelley recently highlighted a statistic that compared “Jesus” with “Porn” using Google Trends What is an absolute tragedy is that Porn far outweighs Jesus in every country listed. Except Peru. In Peru Jesus has edged out the win since 2004. What’s also interesting in this statistic is that in Lima (Peru), every Good Friday [...]
