I’m going to comment on this post: Dan tries to prooftext his position from Scripture. However, that’s misleading, for he filters his prooftexts through his definition of “choice.” Therefore, he’s not really beginning with Scripture. Rather, he’s beginning with his preconceived theory of what makes a choice a choice. As such, his entire exercise begs the question.The OWS bottom-feeders planning yet another attack against hard working Americans Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, whose anti-greed message spread worldwide during an eight-week encampment in Lower Manhattan last year, plan marches across the globe tomorrow calling attention to what they say are abuses of power and wealth. Did YOU know that the Occupy Wall Street movement is funded by non other than...wait for it....George Soros? It's true! Organizers say they hope the coordinated events will mark a spring resurgence of the movement after a quiet winter. Calls for a general strike with no work, no school, no banking and no shopping have sprung up on websites in Toronto, Barcelona , London , Kuala Lumpur and Sydney , among hundreds of cities in North America, Europe and Asia .
Now The End Begins «
O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. ─ Isaiah 63:17 One of the very basic truths from this text of scripture is that the manifest presence of God had departed from the midst of His people. Certainly, there were individuals whose countenance revealed the Spirit of the Living God with them and upon them; nonetheless, on the larger scale, and as a whole, not only does it appear that the nation of Israel was bereft of God’s favor, but that His absence presented a greater opportunity for the sinful to sin greatly, provided for more prolific promiscuity, and occasioned a spiritual decline that removed holy reverence of God from the souls of men. Now, taking a step back for a moment, and looking at the bigger picture (at least as far as English-speaking Christianity is concerned), does there not appear to be an absence of the manifest presence of God on the larger scale overall?
Devotional Thoughts « Justification by Grace
My little sister Lisa and I had a real little girlhood thanks to Mom. I feel sorry for little girls today who are expected to leave childhood behind in about first grade. There’s not much room for innocence these days. Ten years ago, our older daughter Mary came home from her private Christian school at age 6 and announced that her new friend had the Backstreet Boys on the cover of her notebooks and folders and asked if she could please have some, too. (She had no idea who the Backstreet Boys were, but wanted to be like her friend.)

We are so good at being legalists. One minute we’re the “older brother” in our Lord’s parable, resentful of the Father’s lavish grace showered on the prodigal son; the next minute we’re smug judges of the “pharisees.” To reverse the roles in another parable, gospel-liberated heirs can be, rather ironically, like the Pharisee who prayed (at least in my version), “Lord, I thank you that I am not like this Pharisee.My Word Like Fire

In 2007, as a result of 6 years of research and one year of writing, my first book on anti-Semitism was published ( They Have Conspired Against You: Responding to the New Anti-Semitism ). Back in 2000 when I started my research, I quickly was able to identify three different perpetrators of the New Anti-Semitism. All three were coming on the world scene as the Second Intifada (Palestinian uprising) was developing in the Middle East. The source of anti-Semitism "Old" and "New" has never changed. The battle is not a historical, geographical or even a socio-political one, it is purely a SPIRITUAL battle to completely destroy the people that God chose to call The apple of My eye in in Zechariah 2:8.Are You In RobBellion?

1. Evangelicals have identified themselves with the conservative political movement. Being pro-life and anti-gay marriage doesn’t mean those who hold those positions can communicate the Gospel in any coherent manner, and if we can’t communicate the Gospel clearly, lucidly, then our conservatism means very little, if anything, doesn’t it? 2. “Christian” music, books and media has produced young people who know very little about the Biblical faith and its God-breathed doctrines.

Like most of America’s historic private universities, Vanderbilt University was founded by Christian believers for the purpose of inculcating Christian beliefs in its students. Vanderbilt was founded in the 1870s by Methodists and later funded largely by New York’s Vanderbilt family. Within a remarkably short period of years, Vanderbilt had forfeited its conservative Methodist roots in order to identify with the emerging secular consensus in American higher education.

In the field of Reformation studies, Professor Brad Gregory is somebody for whom I have immense respect. Those outside the discipline of history are possibly unaware of the ravages which postmodernism brought in its wake, making all narratives negotiable and fuelling a rise in interest in all manner of trivia and marginal weirdness. Dr. Gregory is trained in both philosophy and history and has done much to place the self-understanding of human agents back at the centre of historical analysis. Thus, for those of us interested in the Reformation, he has also played an important role in placing religion back into the discussion.
