Really Bad Theology

Sometimes you click on a few sights and you can’t help but link to the videos.
Two crazy videos with Benny Hinn, both are absurd, and a bit sad.

This last one is a little more subtle but read these quotes about and from Jesus afterward.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and […]

Everything Changes, Yet Remains the Same.

All Europe is coming across the ocean, all that part at least that cannot make a living at home, and what should we do with them they increase our taxes, eat our bread, and encumber our streets and not one in 20 is competent to keep himself.

Roughing Out Year Three

This is my third year at RPTS, and I ll be honest I am starting to feel as if I’m roughing it a bit right now. Classes are frustrating, especially Civil Government. The purpose of the class is to say: “We are the good American Middle-Class Presbyterians, we are not like those other ‘Presbyterians’ who […]

Here are a few thoughts on this article.
On Organic Growth. Your definition of root is wrong. Christ is clear that he is the root […]

Mcarthur-0, Pagitt-0, Wormwood-1

Do you ever feel sometimes like you wish CS Lewis was still writing the Screw Tape Letters. Lewis would have a field day with all the factions in the media discrediting each other.
“My Dear Wormwood,
