Jonah 1:7-16 “The Peace-Giving Sacrifice”

Galatians 5:1–6 (ESV) — 1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify [...]

Francis Chan is a cool Asian brother from another mother. Some may label him overly pietistic, however I think he grasps the radical nature of discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus. In the attached youtube clip, Francis calls out all parents who use their kids as an excuse to live the safest life [...]
“I want a real chaplain who believes in a real God and a real hell…your uncertainty is making things worse…I need someone who will look me in the eye and tell me how to find forgiveness because I am running out of time!!!”

Essay 2, Chp. 1 “The Problem of Power”
Hunter sees the Creation Mandate as a source of both glory and shame. Since we reflect God’s image, we are enabled to reflect His image through acts of love and innovative labor for the sake of neighbor. At the same time, because of our [...]
Chapter 7, “For and Against the Mandate of Creation”
Hunter returns to the mandate of creation and reminds the reader that ALL are called to fulfill this mandate. I love how Hunter points to the centrality and sufficiency of the Gospel as the means whereby such renewal comes. He states (93), “it [...]

Pastor Rick Hogaboam, Sovereign Grace Fellowship, 6.20.2010 A.D.

James Davison Hunter’s “To Change the World”, Chp. 6 “The Cultural Economy of American Christianity”
Hunter notes that Christians tend to be middle class folks and don’t present a bunch of monetary clout, while at the same time noting that faith-based philanthropy has been impressive. Hunter observes (81), “…its economic influence is [...]
“Dred Scott’s Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom in America” by Andrew Napolitano (2009). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson.
A review by Rick Hogaboam for Booksneeze as part of their blogger program.
I rarely read books apart from the topics of theology, Biblical study, etc., but chose to delve into a [...]
I have long wondered why Fox News would feature half-clothed women on their website EVERYDAY!!! Some of their female guests also show quite a bit of cleavage. As I write this, there are two pics of breasts featured by a Russian model and Meghan Fox. I couldn’t believe that this would be [...]
In Chapter 5, Hunter takes the reader through a sweeping overview of history , and church history in particular. He notes the incredible growth of Christianity from an “obscure sect to a threat significant enough to warrant persecution and philosophical refutation, and finally to the official religion of the Roman Empire” (49). [...]
Hunter offers 11 propositions on culture—seven about culture and four about cultural change. I will use my friend Scott Kistler’s summary of these 11 propositions:
Culture is a system of truth claims and moral obligations: These are often unconscious rather than “exist[ing] as a set of propositions” (33). Culture [...]
“To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, & Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World” by James Davison Hunter
Chapter 3: “The Failure of the Common View”
Hunter opens the 3rd chapter by clarifying his abrupt criticism of Spiritual, Political, and Social reform at the end of chapter 2. Hunter actually [...]

Prof. Hunter doesn’t deal in a shallow fashion with prayer, but engages the major theological mysteries concerning prayer with a scholars mind and a prayers’ heart. The book is easy to read and I felt as if Prof. Hunter was having a conversation with me.
The insights on questions [...]

Jesus tells Peter that He will die and Peter is quick to ask about the beloved disciple, John, to which Jesus essentially says that He will do with John as He pleases. Jesus then tells Peter to follow Him.
John adds some commentary saying that Jesus was talking [...]

Hey, just wanted to followup the sermon this morning with some additional thoughts and reemphasize some main points.
Thomas was not with the disciples at Jesus’ first visit and while we don’t know for sure why he was absent…it is fair to say that he missed out on seeing Jesus. It is important [...]
My investigative trip to Cooperstown revealed that the Egyptians played some form of baseball…very interesting.
In fact…the real reason why Pharaoh made the Hebrews slaves was because they would beat up on the Egyptians when they played each other.
I don’t want to be totally obnoxious…but I was thinking about the beloved Hymn “Amazing Grace” and was wondering how a theological Arminian could really sing it.
Traditional Arminian theology believes in “prevenient grace”…essentially meaning that God exerts a measure of grace towards all sinners. Some would even say [...]

Isa 6:1-8(1) In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.(2) Above him stood the seraphim. [...]
It is unfortunate that many Calvinists have established a stereotype of being arrogant, mean, and snobby about their theological convictions. It is for this reason that I do believe a recently converted Calvinist should be locked in a closet for a few months before speaking to anyone [...]
As I continue to work through my thesis research, I have come across a reoccurring phrase, “apocalyptic determinism”. Translated into simple language, it means “God is in control of what He is going to do”. It is the foundation for apocalyptic literature that God is in control of the future. Some folks have a tough [...]
