Its called Christian political war gaming. Once the virus strikes it becomes a near obsession. I know a number of people who don’t get enough sleep because […]

True faith is not a mere “mental assent” to certain theological propositions—but a living, burning, active principle—which works by love, purifies the heart, overcomes the world, and brings forth much fruit of holiness and good works. Let us live as if we really believed every jot and tittle of Scripture—and as if a dying, risen, […]

In order to justify their failure to bring their little children to the covenant meal, paedobaptists appeal to the strictures of 1 Corinthians 11:28-29, 31, wherein “a man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the […]

Book recommendation: “Terror at Beslan” by John Giduck.
“For a single religion to spawn so much hatred, so much inhuman capacity to commit violence against the innocent–even if those innocent are the citizens of a perceived enemy nation or culture–there must must be a cause. That cause cannot be the preaching of tolerance and peace so often ascribed to it.” – Terror at […]

It is possible for a Christian to act at times like a lost man, especially when he is still a “babe in Christ,” but this is a far cry from saying that a true Christian can live his entire life like a lost man. – Charles Leiter
Wickedness is increased
This is very disturbing, this is man’s way of justifying murder… No foetal pain before 24 weeks’ By Branwen Jeffreys Health correspondent, BBC News There is no new evidence to show foetuses feel pain in the womb before 24 weeks, and so no reason to challenge the abortion limit, UK doctors say. The Royal College […]

Scam Into Blessing – Part 19
Early on Saturday morning, a crowd began to gather just outside of Pastor Togba’s property. Some music was being played and I recognized a couple of what sounded like gospel tunes. It was not long before a crowd gathered to listen to something being said over a loudspeaker. I had been watching people stop to […]
Awesome pics!
I am often reminded of a hint of God’s power whenever a thunderstorm rolls through. This particular storm was in Chicago, several hundred miles from my hometown. The photos are from the dailymail site and are too good to pass up… “When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, […]
Examining the Christian Horror novel genre with Ted Dekker’s “The Bride Collector.”
In the past, we’ve covered such oxymoronic concepts as Christian Goth, Christian Fight Clubs, Christian Spice Girls performances, and Christian Poker Tournaments, now the latest incompatible hobby to distract cultural Christians is Christian Horror. Kevin Swanson, in this 26-minute audio clip, takes on one such novel by Ted Dekker entitled The Bride Collector. You will […]

Here is a pattern that all ministers ought to follow. Publicly and privately, from the pulpit and in private visits, they ought to rebuke all open sin, and deliver a faithful warning to all who are living in it. It may give offence. It may entail immense unpopularity. With all this they have nothing to […]

Dare We
This is a worthy piece that comes to DefCon readers from latter days Dare we stand before the living God and declare the right to live our own lives the way that we see fit? Still think God gave His life so that you could enjoy your “best life now” in this temporal world? It […]
The Shame of Sin
by Thomas Watson; from ‘The doctrine of repentance’ The fourth ingredient in repentance is shame: “that they may be ashamed of their iniquities” (Ezek. 43:10). Blushing is the color of virtue. When the heart has been made black with sin, grace makes the face red with blushing: “I am ashamed and blush to lift up […]
I am Nothing
Paul’s estimate of himself (James Smith, “The Pastor’s Morning Visit”) “I am nothing!” 2 Corinthians 12:11 This was Paul’s estimate of himself : “less than the least of all saints,” and “the chief of sinners.” The more we know of ourselves and of Jesus– the more shall we be humbled in the dust before Him; […]
Christian Reiki
Carla from More books and things brings to light yet another unbiblical ‘practice’ sweeping through {apostate} Christianity… A Thing called ‘Christian’ Reiki Yes, you heard right. First there was yoga, then there was ‘Christian’ yoga, and now there’s …drum roll please…’Christian’ Reiki!

“Paul never quoted Jesus” (Romans part 1)
What is the refrain we always hear from the theological liberal or the Emerging guru, or Purpose-Driven™ Pied Piper who is sooooo much smarter than us knuckle-dragging fundamentalists? The same, tired, lame old, “Paul preached a different gospel than Jesus” or “Paul was setting up a religion to compete with Christianity” or–as the title of […]

“We will deal treacherously with the Bible records if we are not soaked in the revelation that God alone is good. We will put the saints on the throne, not God. There is only one unshakeable goodness, and that is God. It takes time to get there because we will cling to things and to […]
Mormon church releases statement on Blood Atonement.
The ever-changing mainstream Mormon church has taken yet one more step to distance themselves from the original teachings of their church. This is just another step to appear more “Christian” as they reject the doctrinal roots of their founders. Can anyone recognize Mormonism anymore? Here’s the very brief article: The Church of Jesus Christ of […]

“For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among the nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.” – Amos 9:9 Every sifting comes by divine command and permission. Satan must ask leave before he can lay a finger upon […]
The Perverted Priesthood
This is from John MacArthur, back in 2002. Needless to say, things within the RCC have only deteriorated since then. One line in particular that jumped out at me was this one, ‘At the time of his ordination, which can never be repeated, can never be reverted or rescinded: It is once for good. That’s […]
Scam Into Blessing – Part 18
Some of the women seemed to be upset, and I could not begin to imagine what the church leaders were thinking about what they had overheard. Twenty pairs of eyes followed me as I walked through their midst and off the veranda into the dusty African evening. Walking along the edge of Pastor Togba’s property, […]
It’s about the beat
The debate over music, what’s acceptable and what isn’t in God’s eyes, will continue until Christ returns. I found this very interesting piece at latter days and decided to post it here. I’ve also included another link from the same blog concerning music at the end of this post. I do hope you will consider […]
Papacy Set to Recapture the United Kingdom
Mother Rome has never been satisfied in looking back at her days of infamy when she sat as a gueen over the nations of the earth. Instead, she is ever looking ahead devising means to once again reign supreme over all peoples of the world. In light of this, a very important development is transpiring […]
