Over recent years there has been a steady build up of opposition to and outright rejection of what some term as ‘the theory’ of ‘penal substitution’. Amongst the definitions for ‘theory’ is one that reads – ‘a conjectural view or idea’. When it comes then to understanding what was happening on “the cross of Christ” for the faithful Christian the doctrine of ‘penal substitution’ is not a matter of ‘conjecture’ but it is the factual and glorious heartbeat that sustains God’s gift of “eternal life” [Romans 6:23]. ‘Penal substitution’ is a factual divine truth that leaps from the pages of the Bible and to deny otherwise is quite simply to set oneself up as an ‘enemy of the cross of Christ’.

Ramadan is the Muslim holy month of fasting for spiritual renewal and purification. It commemorates the month during which Muslims believe Mohammed received the Quran through divine revelation, and it calls Muslims to self-control, sacrificial generosity and solidarity with the poor, diligent reading of the Quran, and intensified prayer.

Seismic Shock
This week the Jerusalem Post identifies three of the most prominent evangelical critics of Israel as Jimmy Carter, Stephen Sizer and Brian McLaren. Whilst Carter is world famous, and I have discussed Sizer at length on this blog, Brian McLaren is less well-known. Continue reading »

Recently, the President of the United States, George W. Bush, admitted that he did not take many parts of the Bible literally. For example, Bush doubted the Genesis account of Creation in favor of the disproven Theory of Evolution. President Bush reiterated his belief that all of the world’s religions pray to the same God. This is all from a President who won the hearts of American evangelicals because he prayed a prayer to be “born again” with Billy Graham. President Bush’s statements are just the tip of the iceberg of the apostate condition of the “theological Titanic” which is called the” Evangelical Church in America or what I refer to as the “New Evangelical.” Continue reading »

I was driving on the freeway of Los Angeles when I saw a car in front of me that said “Unity and Oneness” and there were symbols from many of the world’s religions, such as the star of David, the cross, the star and crescent moon and numerous other symbols. Obviously the owner of the car held to the hope that all of the world’s religions will one day unite. This was the dream of the late Beatle John Lennon when he wrote his famous song “Imagine” and it is the dream of United Nations. This is the false hope of all those who do not know the true God of the Bible and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. It reflects the “spirit of this age” and the great apostasy that the Apostle Paul=2 0talked about when he said, “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away ( apostasy ) come first, and the man of sin is revealed the son of perdition.” Continue reading »

Moriel and Jacob Prasch solidly support the position recently published by Chuck Smith, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, (Santa Anna) California distancing Calvary Chapel from the Emergent Church Movement which is in essence a hyper-ecumenical combination of Post Modernism and religious mysticism that rejects the propositional truth upon which the biblical Gospel is predicated.

In what appears to be a sweeping phenomenon, Christian leaders are embracing practices and a new spirituality that borrows from Eastern mysticism and New Age philosophy. The changes are taking place worldwide and involve many of the most popular evangelical leaders including Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Richard Foster, Tony Campolo, and Eugene Peterson.

All Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version, unless otherwise stated.
Christianity experiences unprecedented attacks on its foundational truths. These attacks are motivated and coordinated by evil forces that are intent on deceiving all people as a prelude to revealing the Antichrist and physically establishing Satan’s kingdom on earth. Their main obstacle is biblical beliefs in the deity, atoning death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus Christ. As a result, attacks against evangelical Christianity are on the increase, being aimed at discrediting the canonical books of the Bible, and thus also the God and Saviour of the Bible.

Understand The Times
Over the 30 years I have traveled the road of life as a born-again, Bible-believing Christian, I have experienced a number of significant events that have provided inspiration and direction for the ministry God has given me. The Rethink Conference held at Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral, January 17-19, 2008 can now be listed as one of those watershed events. Continue reading »

John 10:34-37
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are gods’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.”
Let Us Nail Down Some Jello
The purpose of this short work is to show you what Brian McLaren, one the major spokesmen for the Emergent Church movement, has to say on the subject of the Bible. As has been stated elsewhere, this can be likened to the frustrating attempt to nail down jello. On his own website McLaren is asked a direct question: “What do you believe about the Bible? Do you believe that it is the inerrant word of God?” His answer is: Continue reading »

Any comments on this article? Do you think they explained the Emerging

Hello Bill,
This article from my perspective is not a good representation. (the theologian DA Carson did a semi-scholarly review of McLaren & the
Emergent Church which was very good, but was not exhaustive or published in a popular magazine). Continue reading »

If you’re over age 35, your spiritual health may be at risk in that new “church movements” are focusing in on primarily “GenXrs.” You may not have even heard of the latest, the “Emergent Church” or “Emerging Church.” Many today are looking for a new “methodology,” “new wave,” or “new thing God is doing.” I ask, “What is wrong with the old way?” Apparently just the Bible is no longer sufficient.

‘Take Heed’ Ministries
On Sunday morning, 16 April 2006, BBC 1 Television broadcast a programme from the ‘Spring Harvest’ festival in Minehead called ‘He is risen’. The guest presenter and preacher was none other than Steve Chalke.
Steve Chalke’s appearance on this programme raised his ‘hypocrisy’ and ‘heresy’ up to new heights – heights that unfortunately would have been broadcast into millions of homes in the UK. Probably many viewers would have been unaware of his ‘hypocrisy’ but Steve Chalke himself would have been fully aware of it as he listened to, and who knows, perhaps even sang some of the words of some of the hymns that were included in the programme.
