Not only have we had 2000 years of waiting for the promise of Jesus and the Prophets to be fulfilled, that someday all things would come to an end, but we have had 2000 years of those who mock, and 2000 years of those who teach false doctrine. The false prophet Harold Camping (see […]
Brian McLaren takes issue with the critics of Rob Bell.

Was Christ and His Cross really offensive or just mildly disturbing and controversial? And, all the persecution, […]
from Embassy of Prayer by glennchristopherson I’ve noted several times in previous posts my belief that as we draw close to the end of the age, Biblically literate Christians (and those who are just paying attention) will be sidelined and discounted as conspiracy theorists and fundamentalists. Occurrences of this very thing are increasing exponentially. Kevin […]
I'm in the mood to pick a fight, and I think I have found a subject that will lose me more friends than talking about their mother, and that is, talking about their idol god, the entertaining television. We must be entertained! Many use it to get their minds off of their misery. Mothers […]
