Reviewed by Dan Lucarini When I first met Dr. Shrader for lunch in Denver, we talked about the “death of discernment” in the church and thought someone should write a book about it. Well, someone finally did! This book exposes the root problem that causes many Christians to fall in love with the world and […]

Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Ch...
The sub-title is, “Understanding a Movement and Its Implications.” It was refreshing to read a scholar like Carson hold the “Emerging Church” writers’ feet to the fire. Carson takes the popular writers such as Brian McLaren, Robert Webber and Mike Yaconelli to task for their “nasty stereotypical” writing and for “condescendingly dismissing” older writers who […]
Elders Worthy of Double Honor
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine (1 Tim. 5:17). Baptists have never thought they were the only believers in the world or the only ones with Bibles. All believers have the obligation to apply the Scriptures to every part […]
Darwin’s Black Box
How many times have you engaged in a conversation with someone who cannot accept the idea of Creation because it is not “scientific”? Have you sat under a biology or chemistry professor who “proved’ evolution by matching monkey parts to modern men and wished you had a credible, scientific rebuttal? Unfortunately, as Christians we often […]
Genesis 1:1: Still the Last Word
Intelligent Design presents the idea as a whole new area of science wherein the researchers base findings on the premise that some form of design was the origin for empirical discoveries. Author William Dembski clearly states that this is not the same as Creation science (faith based) or theistic evolution, which often includes the idea […]
I Just Wanted More Land
I met Gary Gilley recently and became acquainted with his writings. He also wrote, This Little Church Went To Market: The church in the age of entertainment. I Just Wanted More Land is a critique of The Prayer Of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson (see my short review on our web site). Gilley is right in […]
Breaking the DaVinci Code
After reading and reviewing (see our web site) The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, I have been reading various reviews and many refutations of the book. As I noted in the review, this book (The DaVinci Code) is riddled with historical errors and a preconceived agenda which makes it ripe for the rewriting of history […]
Why I Have Not Seen the Movie, The Passi...
We all must pause to express our conscience on controversial matters sooner or later even though we would rather talk only of “the common faith” and leave the “contending” to the expert apologists. C.S. Lewis said, “The greatest cause of verbicide is the fact that most people are obviously far more anxious to express their […]
The Tyranny of the Tolerant
It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. Never have Americans been as comfortable in their homes and as afraid in the world. Never have Americans enjoyed freedom of thought and expression and been so corrupt in the imaginations of their hearts. And never have Americans been so tolerant of moral […]
The Dolorous Passion of our Lord Jesus C...
Emmerich became a nun, at the age of 29, in the Convent of Agnetenberg, at Dulmen, Germany. She supposedly received the “favour from the Lord” (8) to receive “stigmas” or wounds in her flesh in order to bleed and suffer “to expiate the sin by suffering” (15) for others, as well as “to feel a […]
