Comment on What Should Christians Say About Economic Crisis? by Harry

Harry — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:32:37 +0000

Guys when the dollar hits hyper inflation all accounts of wealth built up in dollars will be worthless. Please read about Germany and wow if that does not apply in this case. Please understand when the US comes down its ok because our treasure is not the wealth we have hear, but the wealth we have stored up in heaven. Just having the feeling that this end is ok and the fall of the US is inevitable and that is ok too, remember that God is in control and he will bring what ever nation down to its knees. Everyone is going to be hit by this crisis even those who have treasures stored here on earth. So hang on tight and begin to get your spiritual house in order.

Comment on Rethinking our Vocabulary: “Personal Relationship with Jesus” by Robert

Robert — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 08:58:38 +0000

I personally think that its a horrible question to ask and not just when evangelizing, i mean even in our “discipleship” as you put it. This is s catastrophe to Christianity. Should we even ask this question? Why do we ask this question? What are we being saved to? What are we being saved from? This question leaves things very open ended. Plus there is no universal generalized definition of what that question means. To different traditions it means different things. This is a bad way of phrasing this question!

Then again sometimes an economic crisis like now could be a test as to whether or not we trust God in these times.

Comment on “How To Mark A Book” by Mortimer J. Adler by Max WEISMANN

Max WEISMANN — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:22:57 +0000

We have recently made an exciting discovery–three years after writing the wonderfully expanded third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren made a series of thirteen 14-minute videos on the art of reading. The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost.

When we discovered them and how intrinsically edifying they are, we negotiated an agreement with Encyclopaedia Britannica to be the exclusive worldwide agent to make them available.

For those of you who teach, this is great for the classroom.

I cannot over exaggerate how instructive these programs are–we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.

Comment on Bible Reading Plan: Southern Seminary Style by debbie

debbie — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:57:14 +0000

I have read the bible over 3 days before. this is reading it all day, each day, for three days. I did stop to eat and sleep(not much), but was very immersed in the project. The first time i did this i was about 16 years old. I was very blessed from doing this and occasionally repeat the process when the desire hits me. I read about 16 to 20 chapters a day on average, so have read the bible through many times in my 30+ years of reading the bible. Every time i read through the bible i find something new that intrigues me and make discoveries that amaze me again on how precious a gift this book is that our Creator gave us.

Comment on A Review of Derek Webb’s “A Love That’s Stronger Than Our Fear” by phil m

I think that when he says “building the kingdom by using the devil’s tool” he could very well be referring to the actions (torture) that our country (the US) and it’s current administration have been taking in the name of “good” triumphing over “evil” and protecting our way of life.

Comment on Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover: Is Southern Seminary Ground Zero? by Dr. James Willingham

Dr. James Willingham — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 03:25:14 +0000

The hardest task of all is to be faithful in the face of opposition and long continued trials of deprivation and denial. The Great Awakenings and the Great Century of Missions might well have been an answer to all those dear saints praying during the Dark Ages. Even then their faithfulness could be seen. Reinarus Saccho (sp), an inquisitor, spoke in the 1200s of the Waldensians having churches in Constantinope and Philadelphia (the Philadelphia of Rev.3). Another source mentioned the Waldensians as sending a committee/representatives to check on the church in South India in the 13-1400s. Then came the Reformation and after that the Great Awakenings. Who is to say that we can’t have another, an even greater one, world wide, tasking the whole earth in one generation and, who knows? perhaps for a thousand generations. After all, Abraham’s seed by faith is supposed to be as innumberable as the sand by the seashores and as the stars of heaven which cannot be numbered. I spoke of a great awakening as Heaven coming down to earth. Interestingly enough, there is a description of a heavenly influence coming down upon the church and area in which the Moravians lived in 1727, Ten miles from the church, some men working in a were converted. And this occurred at the beginning of the 100 yr prayer meeting of the Moravians. The joy and the happiness of such an event is not to be believed. I dare say that we might have to advise people to exercise restraint in giving vent to their jubilations as much as Edwards’ counseled reserve in expressing fears under the apprehensions of approaching doom. It would be nice to have that problem to deal with (now simmer down, don’t let your joy carry you away). Consider the case of the missionary who for a period lost his mind, when a convert really gave evidence of his conversion. That missionary was Dr. John Thomas, and his convert was Krishna Pal whom Carey would baptized while Thomas raved in elation. Every cloud has a silver lining, and every while one casts a shadow. But think of the whole earth being covered with the Lord’s knowledge and glory as the waters cover the sea. I am reminded of the dear old poor woman who saw the ocean for the first time in her life. She said, “Well, this is the first time I ever saw any thing where there was more than enough of.” The nice thing about abundance of rain is that ministers do not have to maipulate or pound with a sledge hammer. When the flood of grace comes to answer the flood of the enemy, it will be a wonderful day. And the flood of grace could come quietly and gently as showers upon young plants. However it comes, we ought to be pleading all those promises discussed by Edweards and Carey for the advancement of the Gospel. Those verses are the promises that were pleaded for the Awakenings and Missions, and the still merit pleading in prayer to God for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
