Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

JeremyT — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 16:30:33 +0000

We need not wonder that so much importance is attached to our Lord’s resurrection. It is the seal and memorial stone of the great work of redemption, which He came to do. It is the crowning proof that He has paid the debt He undertook to pay on our behalf, won the battle He fought to deliver us from hell, and is accepted as our guarantee and our substitute by our Father in heaven. Had He never come forth from the prison of the grave, how could we ever have been sure that our ransom had been fully paid (1 Corinthians 15:17)? Had He never risen from His conflict with the last enemy, how could we have felt confident that He has overcome death – and him that had the power of death, that is the devil (Hebrews 2:14)? But thanks be unto God, we are not left in doubt. The Lord Jesus really rose again for our justification.

What’s wrong with this?

Today I received an email from a popular “Christian” bookstore. While I was reading it I noticed something major that is missing from the email. This book store is promoting mission trips to different parts of the country to places outside of the country.

So, tell me. What do you think is wrong with this advertisement?

Start the year off right by putting your faith into action.

The New Year is upon us, and [company name removed] has big plans for doing some seriously good works around the globe. And there’s still time for you, your family or small group to join us for one of our exciting trips, even in February!

Take off on February 21st for a five-day adventure in the mountain town of Chichicastenango, Guatemala. The experience of helping to build homes for widows and orphans will be unforgettable – and so will the exhilarating zip-line ride over Lake Atitlan.

Here you will have the chance to improve an orphanage, school or clinic, and to take a thrilling rafting trip down the Yaque del Norte River.

While these are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to serve Him by serving others, this isn’t our first time around these parts. Our team leaders have eight years of experience guiding missions, so we’ll take care of the details while you focus on enjoying your adventure.

Isalm: Does this look like it’s a religion of peace?

From Voice of the Martyrs:

Our brothers and sisters in a Muslim nation are receiving threatening letters, often with a real bullet included. The letters give them three options: deny Christ and accept Islam, leave the area or be killed.

And not related to Voice of the Martyrs, but three things you NEED to know about Islam:

The “I’m not a Calvinist or an Arminian” Statement

JeremyT — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:32:38 +0000

Calvinism and Arminianism are usually just used as shorthand for Monergism & Synergism. Either you believe regeneration precedes faith or you do not? Either you affirm that Christ is sufficient to provide all you need for salvation (including a new heart to believe) or you affirm Christ in necessary but not sufficient i.e. provides only the opportunity but not the effectual grace. You either believe in the necessity of the effectual work of the Holy Spirit in salvation or you do not. If you ask yourself, “is faith also part of the gift of grace Christ purchases for his own” (John 6:63-65) OR “is faith the product of our unregenerated human nature?” The answer to these questions make it clear wither you believe salvation is by grace alone OR grace PLUS something you contribute. This is the essence of what people mean when they compare these two understanding of the Bible. You are either a monergist or synergist: Christ Alone or Christ PLUS. There is no third option.
