Mohler Reviews John R. Franke’s New Book, Manifold Witness
American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe II
America has a rich history rooted in the Christian faith, drawing many principles from Scripture. And while this is true, it does not lend us the conclusion that America was a “Christian nation,” even at our founding. Such an assumption is absurd and presents a misguided interpretation of history and a misunderstanding of the nature [...]
American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe
American Patriot’s Bible: combining God’s infallible Word with the idolatry of American nationalism.
If there is anything that really gets my blood boiling, it is any piece of merchandise or any program or movement that holds up the idea that being an American equals being a converted, born-again Christian, something plaguing many of our churches to [...]
The Shack – A Review
There are so many reviews that have done a fine job of explaining the pros and cons of this book that I don’t feel I need to go into this for very long.
First, I’ll just say that after reading it, the picture of God’s sovereignty and reasons for ordaining that suffering be are attractive, though [...]
Liberating a Captive Church – The Foreword to Christless Christianity
Here we are in the North American church—conservative or liberal, evangelical or mainline, Protestant or Catholic, emergent or otherwise—cranking along just fine, thank you. So we’re busy downsizing, becoming culturally relevant, reaching out, drawing in, making disciples, managing the machinery, utilizing biblical principles, celebrating recovery, user-friendly, techno savvy, finding the purposeful life, practicing peace with [...]
Shack Author William P. Young Denies Penal Substitution (MP3)
Interview conducted by Kendall Adams with William P. Young, author of The Shack: http://rock-life.com/files/shakcomp.mp3
(To hear the specific denial, fast-forward 16 minutes into the audio)
I realize many people have a love affair with The Shack. I know some of those very people. They find it to have really given them a ‘fresh’ perspective of God and [...]
Since When Did Sesame Street Go Ghetto?
I used to love this show growing up. It was very influential in my early developmental years. I loved all the characters and the songs and it used to be a defining time during the weekdays when I knew my dad was coming home from work. Needless to say, I have very fond memories of [...]
Windows 7 Beta – An Initial Review
With permission, this is an email I received from a co-worker named Nathan Abbott, who sent me a quick run down of the improvements and drawbacks to Windows 7 Beta after testing it this morning. Sounds like there are still some things Microsoft needs to improve, like the TCP/IP network stack. But progress has surely [...]
The ‘I Am Second’ Campaign – A Review
Updated 4/16/2009:
Since I originally wrote this, I have become less leery of what the campaign is trying to do. My church is one of the churches to contact and we preach the Gospel. So, all that to say that though I still have some legitimate concerns concerning methodology, I’m not as cautious as I was.

Thoughts on Piper’s Book, The Future of Justification – A Partial Review
In the past, just doing a cursory reading of some of N.T. Wright’s statements on justification, I thought that I could at least grasp a basic concept of his understanding of this centrally important piece of the Gospel message. Then I picked up Piper’s book. Now I’m even more confused than I was before; I [...]
