I think your friend believes that "he" created the church and that "he" will not willingly give up the little kingdom that "he" created for himself. Therefore, "he" has picked people who will agree with "him" so that "he" can rule his little kingdom. "He" will not abide by anyone who comes in...

The geological structure of the Appalachian Mtns and the Mtns in Great Britain are very similar, including the coal deposits. With no science to prove this, I suggest that God moved people, after the tower of Babel and then separated people by moving the earth. Notice how ziggurats are found...

Dr. Piper shares this passage as his thesis for his book on Coronavirus and Christ: 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 9For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11Therefore...

Romans 8:18-25 18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because...

Can both be guided by God, yet conclude different understanding from God's word? I agree that in both cases we want to see what we want to see in scripture and it is hard to overcome that bias. I read the book of Job and I see that very argument flowing from the antagonist and the protagonist...

The problem here is that to accept your proposal, I would have to accept false doctrines that the Bible does not affirm. Instead, I can accept: 1) Christ is the propitiation and means of salvation for all whom the Father has given him. 2) God chose his adopted children from before the...

No one founds a church, builds it from the ground and calls the shots...except a person who has a controlling personality and sets up a dictatorship. He may be honestly wanting to honor God, but his church setup will quelch the spiritual growth of his congregation by banning anyone who calls...

The entire passage shows that the writer to the Hebrews did not consider his readers in the light that you are expressing. Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is...

Sounds like that pastor has far too much power in his congregation. I have no idea what "New Calvinist" means or what conversion to Calvinism means. Were these seminary students insistent upon the preeminence and supremacy of God over all things? Were they demanding that such preeminence and...

A new book, by John Piper, free to download at Crossway Books. Enjoy and feel free to pass this along to your friends. I enjoy Dr. Piper's writings. His book, Desiring God, was a blessing along my path.

Perhaps, but we're talking Corona virus here.

God recreates men rather than resurrects them? Jon, are you a practicing Jehovah's Witness?

Contagious disease. This means it spreads. We will see where this leads and what God does. In the meantime I suggest we all sit down to read a little Poe and "The Masque of the Red Death." [emoji846] SparkNotes: Poe’s Short Stories: “The Masque of the Red Death” (1845)

Now in South Korea, Italy and Iran.

The death rate by flu is 0.02 of 1 percent. The death rate of the Corona virus is 2 percent. This means that the Corona virus is more deadly than the common flu, if it is left unchecked. So, if the world population is 10 billion humans and 2 percent of humanity dies from the Corona Virus we...

The question you have to ask is whether voting immigrants (new US citizens) will lean left or right. Given President Trump's perceived position on immigration, will all those immigrants in Minnesota move toward the Democrats or Republicans? I highly doubt Trump wins Minnesota and I don't think...

You weren't amused? I gave emojis to convey I was being facetious. As Sargeant Hulka once said: "Lighten up, Francis." Just having a good natured poke.

Sounds like a conservative Baptist...[emoji15][emoji16][emoji2958]

Theology taught from Genesis through Revelation. Covenant Theology. God established covenants. These covenants revolve around the Promised One, Jesus Christ. The covenants were always given to the elect people of the promise. What dispensationalism has done is it has attempted to remove the...

Remind me again when the last Republican Presidential candidate won Minnesota in an election. 1972 with tricky Dick? The only way Trump has a chance is if Bernie gets the Democratic Party nomination. In that case Democratic centrists may stay home, which would tip the scale to Trump. But, any...
