An interesting quote from an interview that Table Talk magazine had with Anthony Carter, a black, Reformed Christian. TT: A number of American Reformed theologians were slave owners. How can a Christian who is black embrace the theology of men who owned slaves or who defended the slave trade? AC: Indeed, this is one...

A Christian Nation?
Dave Black gives us some wise words about a Christian nation: Beware of the sin of nationalism, my friends. A Christian is a citizen of a heavenly commonwealth because he or she belongs to the holy nation of the people of God. This, and this alone, is the only Christian nation. Other nations may...
Historic Fundamentalism part 1
Historic Fundamentalism as a movement can be traced to the late nineteenth century, though it came into full bloom in the early twentieth century. About the time of the War Between The States evangelical Christianity was the dominant religious force in the United States. Protestant Evangelicals were greatly influenced by revivalism. At the same...
The Best Apologetic of All
Apologetics, if they are actually effective, serve the church more than they serve the unbelievers. That is my opinion, but I must ask how many people have come to Christ through learning that Noah’s ark could indeed hold all of those animals? That would seem to serve to confirm the faith of a person...
Is The Wife Married, or Married And “Under A Husband?”
Note the passage in the KJV: “For the woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of the husband. ” (Romans 7:2) Now note it as it is found in the UBS:...

Yesterday I posted a bit of an article from USA Today about the KJV and its popularity. Daniel commented about one issue that was somewhat odd. Better Bibles Blog has now posted on the issue, also. What are your thoughts? more than half of all American adults (62 percent) own a KJV Bible....
Christians Exterminated in US Occuppied Iraq
Christian persecution has increased exponentially under U.S. occupation. As one top Vatican official put it, Christians, “paradoxically, were more protected under the dictatorship” of Saddam Hussein. What does one make of this—that under Saddam, who was notorious for human rights abuses, Christians were better off than they are under a democratic government sponsored...
The (Welcome) Rise of the Pastor-Theologian: A Friendly Response to Donald Miller – The Gospel Coalition Blog
I greatly appreciated this post from The Gospel Coalition (yeah, shoot me; I read TGC!). It’s worth reading, for sure. Scholarship, or theology, or whatever you want to label it, is not the enemy of lived Christianity. Theology, when done biblically, gives life. It is eminently practical. Faithful Christian scholars and theologians necessarily engage...
More Rob Bell And Hell
This has been the tactic we Christians have had to protect ourselves against coming from the world. They have sought to call into question certain biblical teachings, and we have resisted by stressing that once you relinquish the inerrancy of one portion of the Word, who is to stop another from calling into question...
