Conservative Anglicans U.S. Propose England Clergy Swap

Karen — Fri, 21 May 2010 22:04:52 +0000

Conservative Anglicans in North America are inviting priests in the Church of England to take part in a clergy swap as a show of solidarity.

Formed last year by conservative Anglicans who broke away from The Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church in North America is proposing the swap in the wake of the consecration of TEC’s first partnered lesbian bishop last Saturday.

ACNA said the clergy [Continue reading ...]

Case Against ‘Homosexuality is a Sin’ Preacher Dropped

Karen — Wed, 19 May 2010 21:37:55 +0000

Charges were dropped against a U.K. street preacher who was arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin.

After reviewing the evidence, crown prosecutors decided last week to discontinue the prosecution of Dale Mcalpine, as reported by the Christian Institute.

“It was a ridiculous charge, I should never have been arrested,” the 42-year-old preacher said. “I’m relieved that they have seen sense.”

Mcalpine was arrested in Workington, in Cumbria, last month while preaching to [Continue reading ...]

J.C. Ryle on False Pastors

Karen — Sun, 09 May 2010 22:09:48 +0000

Those who think that unsound ministers ought never to be exposed and held up to notice, and men ought never to be warned against them, would do well to study this passage. No class of character throughout our Lord’s ministry seems to call forth such severe denunciation as that of false pastors. The reason is obvious. Other [Continue reading ...]

J.C. Ryle: Lord Jesus Christ

Karen — Fri, 07 May 2010 22:53:13 +0000

I fear the personality of our Lord is sadly lost sight of by many professors in the present day. Their talk is more about salvation than about the Savior; more about redemption than about the Redeemer; more about justification than about Jesus; more about Christ’s work than about Christ’s person. This is a great fault, and one that fully accounts for the dry and sapless character of the [Continue reading ...]

Christian Preacher Arrested for saying Homosexuality is a Sin

Karen — Thu, 06 May 2010 22:47:12 +0000

A Christian street preacher was arrested and locked in a cell for telling a passer-by that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God.

Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.

The 42-year-old Baptist, who [Continue reading ...]

Return to Holy Reverence

“Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.” – Isaiah 52:13

One of the most tragic graces we have lost today in our Christianity is the fear of the LORD, and reverence for Jesus Christ, in particular. As the enemy, the world, or corrupt flesh delight to tear us away from God’s holy Word and the truth at the [Continue reading ...]

Piper Leaves Megachurch with Hope for Revival

Karen — Tue, 04 May 2010 10:25:27 +0000

Pastor John Piper began his eight-month leave this past weekend.

Now filling the empty pulpit at Bethlehem Baptist Church is Kenny Stokes, who had been on a sabbatical these past several months.

Stokes, who previously served as the church’s Downtown Campus pastor, was approved unanimously by the elders at the Minneapolis church last week to serve as Interim Pastor for Preaching while Piper is away.

The elders [Continue reading ...]

Answers in Genesis: Deluged with Noah’s Ark inquiries

Karen — Tue, 04 May 2010 05:00:36 +0000

As we continue to be wary of this most recent-of-claims about the Ark’s discovery, Answers in Genesis points out that creationists need to apply the same standard as we attempt to do when examining evolutionists’ “proofs.” For example, we often note that the evidence of so-called “ape-men” is based on fragmentary evidence, and often ends up discarded by evolutionists themselves when they realize that they misinterpreted the scant [Continue reading ...]

C.H. Spurgeon: The Broken Fence

Karen — Mon, 03 May 2010 22:44:24 +0000

A religion which is all excitement, and has little instruction in it, may serve for transient use; but for permanent life-purposes there must be a knowledge of those great doctrines which are fundamental to the gospel system. I tremble when I hear of a man’s giving up, one by one, the vital principles of the gospel and boasting of his liberality.

The spirit of the Broad School [Continue reading ...]

Noah’s Ark Discovered Again?

Karen — Sun, 02 May 2010 11:37:47 +0000

The discovery of Noah’s Ark was announced last Sunday (4/24/10) by a Chinese organization from Hong Kong (Noah’s Ark Ministries, International). The problem with this is that it seems like the “discovery” of Noah’s Ark is getting to be almost an annual event. What in the world is going on? We think it’s a question that is easy to analyze.

Genesis 1-11 is the [Continue reading ...]
