There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11) All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. (Romans 8:14) [...]
The Pragmatism of the Church – John MacArthur
“Pragmatism has engulfed and swallowed up the professing church. Theology has been replaced by or subverted to styles of methodology. I think it is a strange phenomenon that throughout history denominations were established based around a common theology and now associations are established based around a common methodology. So much of current evangelical strategy is [...]
The Parable of the Sower
It has been said of this parable by many teachers in our various camps that each of these instances are representative of different types of believers, the mature and immature, the unfruitful (yet saved) and the fruitful.

The Church of Oprah
(FYI, if you’re coming from a politically liberal-leaning point of view, please ignore the caption at the beginning and end of this video … that’s totally irrelevant to the main issue at hand: Oprah’s deceit. In addition, I realize there is a book mentioned apparently directly linking Obama to the occult and New Age movement [...]

I Want to Believe … So Bad! (X-Files Theme Music Fades In)
(Original): ALIEN microbes living just below the Martian soil are responsible for a haze of methane around the Red Planet, Nasa scientists believe. (Archived): http://www.westerfunk.net/archives/science/Life%20on%20Mars/ So now, I suppose the implicit argument from NASA goes,”Let’s spend next to a trillion $’s of tax-payer money that we don’t have (maybe more) trying to find out if [...]

http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php?itemid=3079 If you want to see a picture of the future of Europe, then read this and watch the video.

The Soap Opera of the Old Testament
When we read Scripture and particularly the Old Testament, it is so easy to automatically view those heroes of the faith, those glowing golden embossed characters we have all read about as kids as if they did no wrong. Sadly, a lot of times, we carry those portrayals with us into adulthood. Sure they made [...]
