Some Good Stuff

Most of the time I use this blog to warn of false teachers and false teachings.  But sometimes I use it for posting good thoughts and teachings, as well as thought-provoking items about theology or apologetics in general.  Today’s post will be some links to some good teaching; things which I found edifying and want to share with other believers.

Apprising Ministries is one of the many good blogs I follow, and which I highly recommend for daily doses of what’s happening in the Church.  A couple weeks ago Ken posted an article about why the sin of homosexuality is so different from other sins, and why sexual immorality in general is worse that most sins.  Hint: 1 Corinthians 6:18.

Another blog I like to follow is the Cripplegate.  The same day Ken posted his article about homosexuality, the Cripplegate had a good article about the Lord’s Supper and its purpose.

Many of our youth pastors in the Church seem to be very immature in their own walk, and often are more prone to be “buddies” than mentors.  I’ve seen this in every church I’ve attended.  These leaders provide a lot of spiritual “junk food” but not much meat.  An excellent article by Dave Hinkley gives some important advice for youth ministers.

Yvonne over at “...and the world hears them” has posted an article by Dr. Paul Elliot discussing Colossians 2:8-23.  Satan is the great counterfeiter, and that is something we all need to be aware of.

An older article which I stumbled across defines marriage in a biblical worldview.  It’s definitely an article worth passing along.

A major problem in the Church today is that sin is often covered or justified to the point where we call good evil.  This happens often in regards to apologetics ministries; we are railed at for exposing sin and false teachings in the Church, as if it is evil to do so.  Warren Smith has an encouraging article with Biblical rebuttals to all the charges against apologists.

Be encouraged, fellow believers, and be Bereans!
