Why Christianity is True

Dr. John Piper on why he thinks that Christianity is true

The Christian and the Atheist

The adjacent picture is a joke...

I'm following an email exchange between two men: one an evangelical Christian and the other a former-Christian turned atheist. It's interesting to read their stories of conversion.

As you read Tim Challies' response to the atheist's letter, you'll see how he quickly and decisively, in my opinion, refutes the notion that all Christians are either unintelligent or simply naive because they believe in Jesus. It seems some atheists possess a perceived intellectual arrogance coupled with sweeping generalizations and misleading information concerning the reliability of the Bible, etc.

God of Second Chances

The video below shows what two Christ-followers are capable of in corporate worship - even though they are from different backgrounds - A worship leader and a homeless person.

Rich Daddy God

Challies.com has posted a hilarious/sad article on a 'special' board game...Rich Daddy God.

As you read about the game, it just gets more strange and more bizarre...

Merry Rockin' Christmas

It's been a while since I've written a post. The main reason why is this:



Pretty cool that the kids made the front page of the newspaper, isn't it? Another successful pageant (5 performances and 2 dress rehearsals in one week) is in the books.

Conquering Sexual Sin

In the relatively short time that I have been in ministry, I have come to the conclusion that most men, even (especially?) Christian men have either endured and fought through or are presently engaged in some type of sexual sin. I no longer assume that a man is not involved in some type of sexual bondage that is detrimental to his life. I now assume that he is. Why do so many men struggle in this way?

In this video John Piper explains that the desire for sexual "titillation" for both men and women is a natural thing. However, what we do with that desire is the issue. The good news is that through the love of Jesus we possess the power to overcome all temptations. What temptation are you dealing with today? No matter how evil it may seem to you or how wrapped up in it you are, know that if you have Jesus in your life, through Him you can conquer anything and mortify any sin that has taken hold of your life.

When Bad Things Happen...

Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of The Village Church in the Dallas area, had a seizure Thanksgiving weekend and doctors found that he had a mass on his frontal brain lobe. He was in surgery over the weekend to take the tumor out and just last night was released from ICU, although is still in recovery. Here is the video that he taped last week before the surgery that was shown to his congregation.

The message is clear: no matter how good God has been to you, or no matter what bad things that God has allowed to happen to you, "to live is Christ and to die is gain." Nothing tops being with Him in this life and in the next.

Jesus vs. Religion

A message for all church leaders, members, and Christians everywhere to hear on this Lord's day. Simply replace, "Christian, Baptist, Etc.," in the place of "Pharisees" and you'll get the point...

A Pastor's Day

Here's a video from an upcoming pastor's conference that shows in a minute or two what a pastor's typical day is like: what a great life!
