brother MichaelFrom all angles, the account of the fall of man is fascinating, simply because it presents, in a nutshell, the origin of man’s sin and its consequences, the wiles of the devil and his modus operandi, God’s promise of a savior fulfilled in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and finally, God’s benevolent provision for His creation which, in my opinion, can even be seen as a foreshadow of how the atonement for our sins will be made.

Posted: September 14, 2008 by Isaiah in Islam, NewsTags: Britain, Law, Rowan Williams, Sharia
Rowan Williams might actually be a prophet! Seven months after Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was pilloried for suggesting that the establishment of sharia in the future “seems unavoidable” in Britain, it’s now official that Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.

We Aren’t Monkeying Around, Darwin; The Apology Is Sincere
Posted: September 14, 2008 by Isaiah in Apostasy/Lukewarm, Creation vs EvolutionTags: Chruch of England, Creation, Evolution, Rowan Williams
The Church of England has made an official apology to Charles Darwin for “misunderstanding his theory of evolution”, 126 years after the latter’s passing. Elaborating, officials said that senior bishops of the Church wanted to “atone for the vilification” heaped on Darwin by their predecessors when he first proposed in his theory that man descended [...]

Sister, You’re Beautiful!

A Roman Catholic priest has decided to actualize the suggestion of some nuns whom he regularly prays and works with. Rev. Antonio Rungi, an Italian priest and theologian, has announced that he’ll be organizing an online beauty contest for nuns to “… give them more visibility within the Catholic Church and to fight the stereotype [...]
Every true revival is always, and without exception, based on the Word of God; the Bible is the only revealed Truth in the world and, in fact, ever has been; there is not a spiritual problem that is not addressed in the Word; there is not a difficulty for which it does not have a [...]

Besides, who can hear the Gospel when they are too busy laughing themselves silly? If you aren’t convinced, here’s a secular TV [...]

At WorldNetDaily’s Weekend Commentary, Jonathan Falwell wrote about the increasing revulsion of the Bible and how the United States has, as a nation, discounted and ignored God’s Word. He concluded by exhorting Christians to continue reaching out despite the fact that the world will hate us and revile God’s Truth. Well said, Pastor, though I [...]

These Are ‘Want’ Ads For Pastors?!

Is it any surprise that we have need for such open letters for pastoral repentance and bad, bad, bad church signs when churches are actually listing mostly worldly requirements for pastors? These actual ‘want’ ads are taken off a good sister’s blog: Executive Pastor MCC is looking for an Executive Pastor (i.e. acting as the [...]
What’s Up, Ray Comfort?

Ken Silva at Apprising Ministries and Ingrid Schlueter at Slice of Laodicea disagree with Ray’s practice of participating in some conferences where he will be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with health and wealth heretics on the same stage.

Christianity In Its True Colors

This really puts me to shame, and gave me much food for thought. Now here appears Christianity in its true colors. To be of such a spirit as this is to be of such a spirit as Christ so often requires of us, if we would be His disciples. This is to sell all and [...]
Spirit-Filled Or Demon-Possessed?

You be the judge. All I can say is that the two testimonies simply creep me out… big time.
