In 1869 Southern Seminary elected C. H. Toy as their next professor of Old Testament.*  Toy’s compelling and engaging style of lecture meant that students loved him and were drawn to him.  When Southern elected Toy to the faculty, he defended traditional orthodoxy, the inspiration of the Bible, and the inherency of the Scriptures.  These convictions, however, would be short lived.  Toy began to hold to a division between the historical and divine elements of Scripture.  Toy asserted that the divine elements were inspired, inerrant, and authoritative, but the historical elements could be proven wrong by science.  For Toy the first conflict between science and the Bible came in the creation narrative.

INTRODUCTION

Doug Pagitt serves as the pastor of Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis, MN. He stands as a leader in the Emergent Church, and holds too many of the same beliefs and ideologies as Brian McLaren. In his book, Preaching Re-Imagined, he sets forth an approach to preaching called progressional dialogue. Pagitt, like McLaren and others in the Emergent Church, wants to have a “conversation,” instead of proclaiming the truths found in Scripture. This review presents the preaching methodology of Doug Pagitt, and analyzes its strengths and weaknesses. Continue reading “A REVIEW OF DOUG PAGITT’S PREACHING METHODOLOGY”

Russell Moore:

Pornography promises orgasm without intimacy. Video [game] warfare promises adrenaline without danger. The arousal that makes these so attractive is ultimately spiritual to the core.

Satan isn’t a creator but a plagiarist. His power is parasitic, latching on to good impulses and directing them toward his own purpose. God intends a man to feel the wildness of sexuality in the self-giving union with his wife. And a man is meant to, when necessary, fight for his family, his people, for the weak and vulnerable who are being oppressed.

sixsteps:

Sadly, many churches–even if they affirm the right doctrine on paper–act and preach as if the biggest problem in the world is lack of education, or material poverty, or the declining morals in our country, or the threat of global warming. As a result we preach cultural improvement instead of Christ. We preach justice without Jesus. We lose sight that the biggest problem (though not the only problem) confronting the churchgoer every Sunday is that he is a sinner in need of a Savior. […]

The evangelical church needs depth where it is shallow, thoughtfulness where it is pragmatic, and conviction where it has become compromised. A casual adherence to a formal set of basic doctrines does not guarantee real unity and does not ensure genuine spiritual strength.

The Gospel Coalition has a great article by Tim Keller on idolatry in a postmodern age.  In the article Keller discusses why defining sin as the breaking of God’s law is not the best approach in a postmodern world that rejects absolute truth. He says that presenting sin as an act of idolatry can better communicate what sin is and what sin does.  I would highly recommend the article to you.

If you were to ask people to define freedom, most likely you would receive a wide range of responses to your question.  Some might say that freedom is the ability to do whatever I want.  Some might say that freedom is the absence of all restriction.  Some might say that freedom is being released from an oppressive political regime.  And on and on the answers could come.  No one, however, would probably say that freedom is the presence of slavery and restriction.  Yet, this is exactly how the Bible defines freedom.

3.  Allen Iverson talk’n bout practice.

2.  Denny Green informing the world as to who the Bears were.
