Why Study Church History – Reason #2: Studying Church History Will Curb the Arrogance of Our Present
2 days ago -
Some evangelicals could very well define “church history” as “the study of how everybody misinterpreted the Bible until we came along.” In fact, on several occasions I’ve heard people actually say, “I don’t care if I’m the first person in history to read the Bible this way. If that’s what Scripture says, then I’m going [...]

1. Irenic This means that we are to approach people peacefully. It is the opposite of being prone to quarrel. It is so wonderful when people get passionate about their beliefs, but, ironically, these passions can often become so militant and hostile no one wants to listen to you. A good theologian always keeps his [...]

“Why would twenty-first century evangelicals—who can read the Bible for themselves and attend Bible-believing churches—need to study Church History?” I’ve heard this kind of question phrased a number of ways over the years. Sometimes people ask it with a tone of sincere curiosity, genuinely wanting an answer: Isn’t the Bible sufficient for all matters of [...]

By Carrie Hunter We Evangelicals have a reputation to uphold. We cannot, under any circumstance, be confused with Them. Them of course being those crazy, unsophisticated, hard-line, uncharitable, literalistic, mean-spirited, dogmatic, absolute-certainty-possessing, Fundamentalists. So in order to avoid being even remotely confused with Them, here is a helpful checklist you should keep on hand at all [...]

From an outsider’s perspective, I am much different than I used to be. When I moved back to Oklahoma in 2008 I was scared. It was not a place I wanted to be. The memories of who I was were haunting. I left for seminary late in 1998. I lived in the Dallas area until 2007. It was [...]

(Lisa Robinson) Well, its happened again, rumors of liberalism infiltrating the church.  This is bad, very bad and nothing to be remotely associated with.  It is a sure sign that you have one foot out the door of orthodoxy and will soon abandon the tenets of the faith.  So I’ve come up with a list [...]

An old adage: you are not who you think you are. You are who you think other people think you are. Who do we want to be? As Christians, what is our goal? How do we want others to view us? Chuck Swindoll used to say (and I quote loosely from an impaired memory system): [...]
