My computer is having some difficulties at the moment and so I’m going to take a little break until I can get it running back to normal. In the mean time, check out the many links on the sidebar and have a wonderful week.
Grace and peace to you all,

Sinners always want to lead us away from the sound teaching and doctrine of Christ. Unfortunately, many of these people who would like to lead others astray are right in the churches. Jeff Noblit explains how we need to stand up against this apostacy regardless of what the person professes.

Christian Post brings this story with roots in the love of man:
Following a four-day conference, Christian and Muslim leaders from around the world announced the first fruits of the “Common Word” exchange through a joint statement that affirmed their support for religious freedom and further interfaith dialogue based on their common love for God and neighbor…
On Thursday, over 140 conference participants unanimously approved a cooperative statement that signaled a new beginning of collaboration between Christians and Muslims where stronger assertions of faith would be not just be allowed but required.
Leith Anderson, president of National Association of Evangelicals and Geoff Tunnicliffe, international director of the World Evangelical Alliance were among top evangelical leaders at the July 28-31 conference who agreed to sign the document.
The statement began by affirming the “unity and absoluteness of God” and God’s merciful love as central to both religions…
Well, CRN brings you a little somethin’, somethin’ from a document that God signed off on–No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. (1 Corinthians 10:21, ESV)

Over at News with Views Marsha West writes:
I detest the prosperity gospel. Ever noticed how the “name-it-and-claim-it” preachers are lining their own pockets but those who support their ministries can barely make ends meet? These smooth talking televangelists are adept at using psychological manipulation and peer pressure to persuade people to pull out their credit cards. (More on this later.)
Televangelists hold to Word-Faith beliefs that are both blasphemous and heretical. Faith preachers say, “Demand what you want by faith and you will receive it!” Moreover, they hold that Christ provided for physical healing at the cross. So not only are Christians saved from sin, they are promised a healthy life! You ask, “Is what they teach biblical?” Nope. Still, Faith teachers contend that their “enlightened” view of the Bible is the gospel truth…

(NOTE: If you’re pressed for time, scroll to timestamp 8:30. That’s where the message really picks up.)
This is a message by Pastor Jim McClarty. Pastor McClarty runs the great website SalvationbyGrace.org . There he has a very thorough QandA section that deals with many questions that are brought against the Reformed faith. You can access that here. I’ve learned a lot from his ministry and highly recommend it. This is a message that’s entitled “The Best News You Ever Heard”. It is a WONDERFUL sermon that would be great to share with an unbeliever and a believer alike. I heard this several months ago and asked Pastor McClarty if I could host it here to share with you all. Of course, he was happy to oblige. I believe you will be edified if you take the time to listen to this sermon in its entirety.
This was given at the Sovereign Grace Bible Conference last year (2007). Here’s information about this year’s conference.

This beautiful Psalm was the inspiration for this joyful piece of music by Marcello. I hope it’s a blessing to you this Lord’s Day.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

On this edition of The White Horse Inn the hosts discuss the topic of American Pelagianism.
Why have the doctrines of grace been so difficult to take root in the American soil? What is it about the way we think and act as a people that makes Pelagianism so common, if not our very “default setting?” On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts will continue their discussion of Pelagianism, with a particular focus on its influence in American religion and practice.
