Dissing Dr. Caner

Found this link by my good buddy Billy Birch about Dr. Caner.  I’m all for Dr. Caner, I remember the first time I heard him speak at Winterfest at Liberty, and I thought to myself: finally, someone is being REAL about the gospel instead of packing it into these cute little presentable boxes.  So Caner, you da man.  Although I do have to say, I’m not for bashing people, but in this case, I think Lumpkins straight hands these guys their tails on a platter.  And he does it with backed up sources.  Here it be: Dissing Dr. Caner

Jesus Made In America Review

Just finished a review on Stephen J. Nichols’ Jesus Made in America.  He gets some stuff dead on right, and others he bases his argument entirely off opinion.  I suggest reading the book just for perspective’s sake, even if you don’t agree with everything he says (and I definitely don’t).  So anyway, here’s my critical [...]

Test

After spending almost an hour on the phone with 1and1, somebody finally told me how to get my export of this website imported into the new MySQL5.0 database so I could upgrade wordpress to the newest version.  GAAAHHHH!

The Importance of Meeting Together

This morning I came across a Facebook status update from a friend of mine in India.  Let me tell you a little bit about Manesh and how I know him.
In highschool, some friends and I started a sort of ministry that gave away Bibles and New Testaments for free.  We drummed up support by collecting [...]

The Purpose of Seminary

Just read a post over at Alan’s blog, in which he was commenting on another post about the purpose of Seminary.  This sparked a whole slew of thoughts in my head about how I’ve come to view Seminary.  First of all, I think that seminaries have to definition of “training pastors” wrong.  It seems to [...]

Washington Post Tebow Article

Thanks to Alan this morning, an article from the Washington Post was brought to my attention.  Tim Tebow, a man who I greatly respect as an athlete and as a Christian, will evidently have an ad during the Super Bowl promoting a pro-life position on abortion.  I’ll just get it out there, I’m 100% on [...]

Colossians 2:6-15

This morning I was encouraged by a passage of Scripture that has evaded my attention for a long time.  I can’t remember the last time I read through Colossians, but I’m thankful for this encouragement from this morning.  Here it is:
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built [...]

End of Year Recap

Starting with the beginning of this year, I thought everything was going against me. After trying to find a movie theatre in Garner that evidently no one could tell me the location of, I got pulled for going 65 in a 45. Wouldn’t you know it, my tags were out of date too. After going [...]

Influencial Men In My Life: A Time for Reflection

In conversation last night, the topic of how to be a man (spiritually) came up with Jeremiah and I.  We were talking about the different influences our fathers had on our lives, and I can say that my home life situation was much better than Jeremiah’s.  Even so, my dad is not a Christian.  Yes, [...]

I Am Writing To You, Young Men

Lately I’ve started reading through the 3 books of John.  This morning I’ve been reflecting on chapter 2:7-14.  This scripture goes like this:
7Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8At the same time, it [...]
