James White Comments on Brit Hume’s "Cultural Heresy"
James White plays Brit Hume’s statements about Tiger Woods’ need for forgiveness and redemption that cannot be found in his Buddhist religion but only in Christianity. He also plays a number of followup comments by Hume and others discussing the fallout from Hume’s assertions. White intersperses his own critique along the way, displaying his usual…
Sermons by Dr. Belcher
I have been searching for online sermons by Dr. Belcher for my own edification and also to share with the blog’s readers. I have come up with a list that I would like to share with you here. My goal is to collect as many links to his online sermons and teachings as I can all in one…
Tithing – A Good Place to Start
As a pastor I have often been asked over the years whether or not I think Christians should tithe, and my response is usually, “I think it is a good place to start.” I hope in this article to offer a Scriptural explanation for why I think this is so, especially since the practice appears to have fallen…
FICM Response to Reformed Baptist Critics
Back on October 16 I posted an entry entitled Reformed Baptists Address the Family-Integrated Church Movement. In it I gathered responses by Andy Dunkerton (one of the elders at Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Mebane, North Carolina), Sam Waldron (one of the elders at Heritage Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky, and Professor of Systematic Theology at the Midwest…
What is Evangelism?
In the above recorded class, John White talks about what evangelism is as is not. I hope the blog’s readers find it as edifying as I did. No doubt my fellow Reformed Baptists will agree with Dr. White’s perspective.
Reformed Baptists Address the Family-Integrated Church Movement
Note: One of the blog’s readers has informed me that the links to the articles by Jason Webb are broken and no longer working. I went to the blog where the articles were originally posted and discovered that they appear to have been taken down from the site. Perhaps this is because Jason has since…
Defense of a Conscious Intermediate State
Introduction I have begun to notice a trend in many evangelical circles today toward acceptance of the idea that has been known historically as “soul sleep.” This is the idea that, after death, a person is in an unconscious state while awaiting the resurrection, after which the person will experience the final judgment. This idea…
Gospel Convictions: A Statement From Matthias Media
Recently Matthias Media, publisher of The Briefing (one of the best Christian magazines available), began to draw up a list of principles they have entitled Gospel Convictions: A call to evangelical integrity in truth and life. In the process of writing these principles, they have been seeking feedback, especially from subscribers to The Briefing. Here…
A Journey in Heresy is Now Available
As the regular readers of this blog already know, Dr. Belcher has recently contributed a series of four articles concerning the heresy of Charles G. Finney. But I wanted to remind the blog’s readers that Dr. Belcher has also recently finished his latest book in the Journey series of theological novels, A Journey in Heresy,…
Mark Kielar on the Heresy of Charles Finney
http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/U49RyyHVmXQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1 This video features Mark Kielar, the Teaching Pastor of First Baptist Church of Boynton Beach, Florida. I thought it would be a good followup to the four part series on the heresy of Finney that Dr. Belcher finished last week. Sadly, Finney’s influence is still felt throughout far too many churches in America to…
