The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from “Under Constraint,” a sermon preached Sunday morning 28 April 1878 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London: I have not much patience with a certain class of Christians nowadays who will hear anybody preach so long as they […]

JIM WALLIS AND SOJOURNERS WHINE ABOUT CIVILITY FOR THOSE HIJACKING CHRISTIANITY

Years ago John MacArthur hit the target dead on when he said: listen, false teaching will always cry intolerance. It will always say you are being divisive, you are being unloving, you are being ungracious, because it can only survive when it doesn’t get scrutinized. So it cries against any intolerance. It cries against any […]

PHILIP CLAYTON AND HIS TRANSFORMING THEOLOGY

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

PURPOSE DRIVEN/SEEKER DRIVEN PASTORS WHINING ABOUT CRITICS

Must be something in the air today because it sure seems some megapastors in the Purpose Driven/Seeker Driven (PD/SD) section of the Druckerite camp are whining about their “critics.” FYI, a critic may be defined as anyone who would dare disagree with one of their vision-casting direct revelations allegedly from God Himself.  Today Steven Furtick, a disciple of his […]

That song’s full title is Let’s Get Together, though it’s typically associated with Jesse Colin Young as Get Together because his band The Youngbloods recorded it as […]

THE EMERGING CHURCH AND THE NEW PROGRESSIVE THEOLOGY ON OTHER RELIGIONS

(1 Corinthians 10:20) Encouraging Idolatry Earlier Apprising Ministries brought to your attention a recent post by Tony Jones, the progressive theologian in residence at the Emerging Church of his progressive universalist pastor Doug Pagitt; it was called The Future of Progressive Theology and God’s Future, and in it Jones shares with […]

TONY JONES SCOLDS HIS CRITICS

They have every right to tell the world that I am a dangerous theologian who should not be trusted… They put my name in other posts — posts about Rob Bell or Brian McLaren, and completely unrelated to me — in order to come up higher in search engines when my name is searched.  They […]
