Saturday Stuff

This is just an odd collection of stuff: some serious, some interesting, some weird, some fun, and some a combination of more than one of those.

Canadian parental rights are under attack here and here.

Freedom of speech is no longer free in France and Canada.

“Church Possibly Dates to Earliest Years of Christianity.” Missing the point entirely, my first reaction was, “Well, duh!”

Do you know where your feet are?

If your intended has already buried four husbands, you might want to reconsider becoming number five.

I went out for basketball in 7th grade. I cold barely walk and dribble at the same time. I hate this guy.

I was much better at stuff like this.

That [your pastor] would know and love the living God, would have a saving interest in Christ, being purchased by His blood, and thus would be bound to the Lord by the indissoluble bond of the Holy Spirit. Labels: church, ligon duncan, Ministry, Prayer 0 comments » more . . . » Steve Weaver — “The Beginning” Genesis 1:1 — This morning’s sermon begins a new series of messages giving an overview of the book of Genesis. Labels: Audio, bible study/exposition, steve weaver 0 comments » more . . . » 2009-01-01 David Gunderson — Some Things I Learned in 2008 — This is a remarkable list. If half of these things had even occured to me at this authors age, I can’t imagine how brilliant I’d be today. Labels: Christian life, david gunderson 0 comments » more . . . » John MacArthur — Why doesn’t John MacArthur add much application to his sermons? — [The Bible] doesn’t say, “And here’s how to do this if you’re 32 years old, and you live in North Hollywood.” . . . And if I made my message mostly a whole lot of those little illustrations, I would be missing 90 percent of you who don’t live in that experience. . . . Application belongs to the Spirit of God. Labels: Audio, john macarthur, Ministry 0 comments » more . . . » Stand to Reason — Lacking Judgment — Truth claims and morality require making judgments for good reasons. And the mistaken modern notion of religious pluralism and tolerance makes people equally incapable of making the proper kinds of judgments. Labels: doctrine, ecumenism 0 comments » more . . . » NPR — Handel's 'Messiah' from Philadelphia — From the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, WHYY and NPR present Handel's holiday masterpiece performed by the "Fabulous Philadelphians" — one of the world's great orchestras, joined by the nationally-renowned Philadelphia Singers Chorale. Labels: Audio, music/arts 0 comments » more . . . » R. Scott Clark — On Churchless Evangelicals Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 — The biblical and confessional doctrine of the church challenges two cultural assumptions of North American evangelicals and two of the most sacred idols of the culture: autonomy, i.e. the notion that one is a law unto oneself, and the evangelical (and liberal) love for a disembodied Jesus. Labels: church, ecclesiology, R Scott Clark 0 comments » more . . . » Derek Thomas — Understanding the Times — The first question we need to ask in Bible study is not, “What is this text saying to me?” but “What is this text saying to me about God?” God-centered living puts God first, second and last. Those in love will understand full well: we just can’t get enough of those we love and if we truly love God we will be equally dissatisfied with anything (or anyone) else. Labels: Christian life, hermeneutics 0 comments » more . . . » 2008-12-31 Yukon Rebecca — Theological Term of the Week: sacrifice (Rebecca’s full glossary of terms) Labels: Educational/Informative, theology, yukon rebecca 0 comments » more . . . » Fred Butler — MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - A Friendly Response . . . And a boot to the head. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #1 Replacement theology, or what is also termed supersessionism, is the view that the Christian Church has replaced, or transcends, the nation of Israel in God's redemptive purposes so that the Church has become Abraham's spiritual seed and fulfills the covenant promises God made to Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #2 . . . Sam is annoyed he can't place John into his pre-fabricated box which reads on the side, "What dispensationalists believe." MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #3 Like all faithful Covenant Theological, Reformed Baptists, a good part of [Waldron's] agenda is to make sure when his readers finish his book they go away knowing Sam believes the NT Church is simply the "New" Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #4 Romans 9:6 states, But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect, For they are not all Israel who are of Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #5 As much as I commend Sam's efforts in an attempt to present his view on the NT Church being a New Israel here from Ephesians 2, I don't believe it holds up under examination. Labels: eschatology, fred butler, john macarthur 0 comments » more . . . » Hank Balch — Birth Control: The Idol of Pleasure — To pursue a God-given blessing of sex (pleasure) rather than it’s God-given purpose, is nothing short of worship of Self. Labels: bioethics, Christian life, Hank Balch 0 comments » more . . . » Steve Weaver — “Running the Race in 2009″ Hebrews 12:1-2 — Pastor Steve Weaver exhorts Farmdale Baptist Church to run the race of the Christian life with endurance in 2009. Labels: Audio, bible study/exposition, steve weaver 0 comments » more . . . » 2008-12-30 The Social Costs of Pornography . . . just in case you thought their weren’t any. Labels: Cultural depravity 0 comments » more . . . » 2008-12-29 Tim Challies — The Right Measure and The Best Measure — Am I seeking to grow in humility? I need to look to Christ! Am I wondering if I've been growing in my love for my brothers and sisters in Christ? I must look to Christ! Do I seek to grow in my ability to lead my family? I must follow the example of Christ! Labels: Christian life, tim challies 0 comments » more . . . » Dan Phillips — If Melissa Etheridge is to be believed . . . . . . Melissa Etheridge is yet another performer who sees herself as heroic for having yielded herself to degrading passions . . . Labels: Cultural depravity, Dan Phillips, Evangelism / Missions, Purpose-Driven / Rick Warren 2 comments » more . . . » 2008-12-28 Eric "Gunny" Hartman — Heck, I'm not even mad, that's amazing! — I thought about the multitude of things we teach our kids at home and at church, particularly of a spiritual nature, the fullness of which they may not realize for years to come. Labels: education, Family 0 comments » more . . . » Matthew Parris — As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God — . . . Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good. (HT) Labels: Atheism, Evangelism / Missions 0 comments » more . . . » Russell D. Moore — How Hellish Is “Time Out”? — If “time out” in your house is a tool to prompt thinking, while the child waits for swift discipline and restoration, then have at it. If “time out” is a means of punishing the child by removing him from the fellowship of his family, then you’re removing him from the very means of discipleship he (and we) so desperately needs. Labels: Family, Russell Moore 0 comments » more . . . » Steve Weaver — “What’s So Special About the Birth of Jesus?” Matthew 1:18-25 — Jesus’ birth is special because of the manner of his birth, nature of his person, and purpose of his mission. Labels: Audio, bible study/exposition, steve weaver 0 comments » more . . . » The Dan Phillips Christmas album! — OK, not really. Labels: Dan Phillips, Humor/Entertaining/Interesting 0 comments » more . . . » Christopher Booker — 2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved — Or, as one commenter here said, “a nice day is a nice day again.” Labels: environmentalism 0 comments » more . . . » Archives 2005-05 2005-06 2005-07 2005-08 2005-09 2005-10 2005-11 2005-12 2006-01 2006-02 2006-03 2006-04 2006-05 2006-06 2006-07 2006-08 2006-09 2006-10 2006-11 2006-12 2007-01 2007-02 2007-03 2007-04 2007-05 2007-06 2007-07 2007-08 2007-09 2007-10 2007-11 2007-12 2008-01 2008-02 2008-03 2008-04 2008-05 2008-06 2008-07 2008-08 2008-09 2008-10 2008-11 2008-12 2009-01 Disclaimer Links provided here are not necessarily endorsed by the Thirsty Theologian.
