Marriage, Gay Marriage, Federal Law and the Church

Posted in Current Issues, Studying the Scriptures, Theology Applied, tagged , , on September 30, 2008 | 31 Comments »

My opening statement is here: I will take Gay Marriage serious when we decide to take Straight Marriage seriously. If I am going to vote for a bill to be passed that defines marriage as “between one man and woman” then that bill most also contain “and divorce and remarriage is only allowed for martial [...]

Uncondtional Love

Posted in Christian Living on September 30, 2008 | 13 Comments »

Let me first say that I am an advocate of the permanence of marriage. This is a position that is rare amongst believer’s to say the least. John Piper also holds this position linked here. Not as if Piper is the final point of arbitration-for he is not. I linked it so you would be [...]

Language and the Christian

Here is a video so you can understand where I am going.
 
Here is the scripture I want to discuss:
4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving
I want to come to this two-fold. I want to preface that I am not attempting [...]

1 Corinthians 13:9-10
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes which happens to be the canon that will be finalized 200 years or so from now, the partial “sign” gifts will pass away and all we will need is our bibles. (TSV, Theological Standard Version)

It’s The Remix Baby #13

Matthew 17:19-20
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith Bible knowledge. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, study your bible more and learn more theological truth,   you will say [...]

Who needs Faith?

Posted in Christian Living, Uncategorized on September 28, 2008 | 24 Comments »

 

 
“I finally got it!!” I spent 4 years in a Prosperity-Word of Faith cult, 1 of which I was awakened to my ignorance by the grace of God and then decided to get out and search for a Biblical body of believer’s. I could imagine this is how I felt once the Lord rescued me from [...]

The Chop Chop From Milk To Meat (unofficial review)

Posted in Album Reviews, Holy Hip Hop, Music, tagged on September 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

When I say unofficial I mean I paid for the album and am reviewing it without the endorsement of CM Records.
I will attempt to do something different with this review. First I will rate a few categories in stars, then I will tier the songs so to say. So with no further due lets get [...]

A Chance To Show You Can Love

Here is what John says:

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18 Little [...]

I Know That We Are Secure But…….

Posted in Reformed Perspective, Studying the Scriptures, tagged on September 25, 2008 | 32 Comments »

Here is another thing I was talking with BLD about. I adhere to the Doctrines of Grace, but I also read my bible and I won’t let (or at least I will no longer let) theological presuppositions hinder my hermeneutic nor exposition of a text (that is why I posted the last post). So as [...]

Forcing a Square Into a Circle

Posted in Studying the Scriptures, tagged on September 25, 2008 | 28 Comments »

I was talking with BLD and Tyris the other day and today. I am again trying to reconcile what I have been taught with the Holy Scriptures (or at least what I thought I was taught). My question is this. I understand that God is Sovereign and His attributes consist of but are not limited [...]
