Dr. Bob, I disagree with your assessment of Rick Warren. He has many good points, and I don't question his motives or love for the Lord, but his methods are very questionable. I wrote a brief paper on a video that he produced that exposes his multiple errors of Bible interpretation and...

AMEN! Salvation is all of God. "So then it is neither him that runs or he that wills, but God..." Romans 9:16

Good answer. Also, please read Hebrews 4, carefully, and notice that Christ fulfilled the Sabbath and we are now in Him. Brian

More on Hank. This just posted today - http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/008/6.19.html Not good for Mr. Hanegraff.

A Case for Amillenialism

Our SBC church did this program and I've seen little response or change. Rick Warren's book has unsaved people or nominal Christians as its audience. Don't expect much depth here. Brian

I would like some feedback. My SBC church of ~1000 members has a senior pastor, no elders, and a handful of deacons. The deacons, for the most part, do not assist in decision-making or spiritual leadership. They simply "do what they're told". The senior pastor has ultimate authority for...

Larry Burkett, CEO of Crown Financial Ministries (formerly Christian Financial Concepts), went to heaven this morning, July 4, at 3am. Very sad. He did a wonderful work and I'll miss hearing his advice.

Good post Daniel. Further... Second Corinthians 9:7 says giving should never be under compulsion. If you mandate a percentage, which God doesn't do for us in this age, then you are laying a compulsary rule on your people. This is a violation of scripture. Tithing has no meaning for...

Great question. I have been critical of the Charismatic song you've listed but love the Baptist one! I confess that I have not seen the similarity until now. Hmmmm..... Brian

I use the MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV) and I believe it's true that only the NKJV is faithful to always show alternate readings. In other words, every instance of a significant textual variant is referenced in the margin. Is this true?

The NEW Geneva study bible, which has been renamed the "Reformers" study bible. I assumed this is the one the poster asked about. I am not aware of the 16th century Bible being in print! Thanks, Brian

Any study Bible that faithfully reprints the notes from the reformers gets my vote! The reformation was a critical moment in church history. The true church was required to understand exactly what they believed and they were particularly required to defend scripture alone against the heretical...

I am with those who are concerned that Warren is too "user-friendly". I just went to his church's website and viewed a video of Rick giving "the Gospel". Maybe I missed something, but I didn't hear anything about repentance in his message. It is possibly the worst "invitation" I've ever...

To all interested in this great topic, John MacArthur has an excellent, excellent book and tape series on this called "The Love of God." You can pick it up at http://www.gty.org. I recommend it. Brian

Katie, Thank you for the gentle rebuke. Yes, I have voted "yes" on a financial issue when I wanted to vote "no." This is not honest, but I am on staff there and always sit on the platform while the pastor presents the issue! Being the only person to vote no, while sitting on the platform...

Yesterday, my SBC had a public vote, right in the middle of the service, regarding a major financial decision. This is the third or fourth time I have witnessed this. In each situation, the vote has been unanimous. I'm thinking to myself, of course! Who would have the guts to dissent when...

As many others have said, the John MacArthur Study Bible is absolutely the best. I've grown SIGNIFICANTLY after using this Bible

If you are going to be talking with Mormons, I strongly suggest spending some time here first: http://www.mrm.org/ Remember, the Holy Spirit will do the work! Brian

Is the Catholic Church a Christian Church? The answer is no. Please review the teachings of their own catechism at this website: http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/cat-ndx.html
