The Consequence Of Fast Food Theology – A Flat Bible
Context Determines Meaning In February had a very disturbing conversation with 3 Mormon elders who would not look at the context of a particular passage of Scripture. Instead they wanted to standardize all definitions of the word “one” based on a traditional interpretation of John 17:20-21. This conversation occurred after a talk on Mormonism at our Wednesday Night Bible Study. These Mormon elders came ready for debate and refused to listen to deal with hermeneutical issues (the science of biblical interpretation) first, so that we could agree on how we go about explaining and interpreting a certain portions of scripture. American Christianity tends to want things made

AlbertMohler.com – The Osteen Moment — Your Own Moment Will Come Soon Enough: Mohler: “Joel Osteen found himself forced to answer a question that every Christian — and certainly every Christian leader — will be forced to answer. When that moment comes, and come it will, those who express confidence in the Bible’s teaching that homosexuality is a sin will find themselves facing the same shock and censure from the very same quarters.What happened last night on Piers Morgan Tonight is a sign of things to come. After this interview, Joel Osteen will never be seen in the same way

The Theology-Driven Life
The Theology-Driven Life: “ The following is an article by Michael Adams over at Journey in Grace. I think that I to can relate to what he is saying. I love truth and love to study the Bible. But when we stop in the process at either exegesis or theology we have short-circuited God’s intended pattern for Biblical revelation. I know that I can not thwart God’s plan, but God uses our errors at times to convict us of our need for change – and one change is that I too want to be Gospel centered and Gospel driven. I think part of it is
