Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on […]

Sad, but true. At From the Lighthouse we read: Contemplative spirituality has been coming into the Nazarene denomination for some time through their seminaries and universities. But this summer, the mystical-based spirituality will be taking a giant step into the Nazarene Church at large. The Nazarene Theological Seminary will be presenting a contemplative retreat to […]

The following is from unsolicited email received from a brother pastor-teacher and is published with his permission. He was writing in response to the recent Apprising Ministries article Richard Foster A Reliable Source For Proper Christian Spirituality?

Over at Reformed Nazarene Manny Silva, no relation that I know of other than being in Christ, begins his post concerning pastor Rob Bell of the Emergence rebellion against Sola Scriptura: The title** for today’s post (coincidentally we are studying 1st John in Sunday School class) could actually apply to any of a number of emergent “high priests” who […]

Pastor John Chisham with an poignant post at his blog The Downgrade, which builds a bit on the CRN post An Ode to the Naive. He begins by asking the critical question for Christians: What is the reality of the condition of the American Church today? C?RN.info writers claim that everything is okay, except for the Synagogue […]

From the Christian Research Net: Richard Abanes thinks so. In his article Don’t Believe Everything You Read…On the Internet the apologist for Rick Warren writes: It’s almost beyond belief that individuals supposedly indwelt by the Holy Spirit could be partakers of such activity. But the facts show that a significant number of “Christian” blogs & websites have […]

  DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA Dr. Peter Jones begins this dead on target assessment of apostatizing evangelicalism: My colleague, Mike Horton, has just published a book, Christless Christianity.
