Worst Website of the month

Here we find a prime example of a postmodern slant on (or more accurately a twisting of) the Scriptures and Historic Christianity in general. A hardy "WARNING" should be proclaimed anytime someone comes along offering an "alternative" approach to Christianity, or a "new interpretation" to who Christ was and what he taught. This is how all the Christian derivative cults have begun.

After attempting to undermine the doctrines of the about Christ's nature and the Holy Spirit, the anonymous authors seek to provide their own definition of Christianity (basically that "unity" = Christianity, and any disunity does not = Christianity).

It should be noted that the main purpose of the first few essays is to scold "Fundamentalism" (as they define it) for it's black and white (or absolute) claims about the truth. Yet, in the following essays, they make their own absolute claim that this "Fundamental" approach is wrong. Quite the hypocrisy.

Christ did not come for the sole purpose of "unity". He even warned against this type of thinking in Matthew 10:34 when he sent out the twelve, where he basically says 'do not misunderstand my purpose in coming'.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matt 10:34 NASB).

This website seems to be the classic "Social Gospel" in a new packaging. Maybe it will help you in your faith to see what to guard against.

Anguish

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In it’s state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

-Leeland, Tears of the Saints

Malachi 1:11
"For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations," says the LORD of hosts."
Isaiah 29:13; Daniel 11:32

The comfort of Perseverance

I've studied the doctrine of perseverance lately and have discovered a deeper understanding of God and my faith. This discovery really translates into a worshipful comfort that overcomes me when I reflect on the sovereignty of God in perseverance. Here are a few videos that give a good overview and explination of these concepts (classroom setting) from Michael Patton at bible.org. I found them to be very helpful and honest.

Video 1 - Can a believer lose their salvation?
Video 2 - A defense of conditional security.
Video 3 - A defense of eternal security.
