My friend Chris Rosebrough of Extreme Theology  and Pirate Christian Radio shares his eyewitness testimony of Day One. Interesting that Greg Hawkins, Executive Pastor of Willow Creek “is bringing up 4 different pastors who, according to Reveal, are doing it right. One of the pastors said that he is a disciple of Dr. Fred Price (prosperity teacher).” You can […]

[T]he object of Christianity is not to educate men for their secular callings, or even to train them in the politer arts or the more elegant professions, or to enable them to enjoy the beauties of nature or the charms of poetry. Jesus Christ came not into the world for any of these things, but […]

But [Jesus] answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’”  (Matthew 4:4, NASB) Christ Jesus Himself Is The One Who First Taught Us Sola Scriptura This post was actually borne out of a couple of discussions I’ve been having lately […]

“Bigger Is Better!” is the shout heard all along the American Way. But is it always? Apprising Ministries with an offer of encouragement from A.W.
