We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Charlatan UltraSoft. - my laugh for the day.
With so much hard news coming at us from all sides, it is good to be able to laugh and praise the LORD that this world is NOT our home.
Our local youth groups visit Joel and Victoria Osteen's (church) as well as Mike Bickle's International House of Prayer (IHOP) on their annual mission trip extravaganza.
These youth (and some brainwashed adults) come back home and tell the rest of us that when people see what they have they will want Jesus too.
Uh, no thank-you.....maybe all of that yoga they're doing has numbed their brains.
And just another tidbit of happy, happy truth here....when my son chose not to participate in their daily yoga time, one of his youth peers tattled on him to the youth leaders, ending in confrontation.
In standing his ground, he asked the senior leader if she understood the worship practices and philosophies of Hindu yoga, and she said "no." In addition to the Osteen's, our youth are required to do yoga for a double whammy of happiness.
Would rather the youth had a pizza party instead of all of this rat poison.
WOW Anonymous! THAT is a LOT of poison!!! Someone needs a serious talk with your youth leader.
Oh boy Gungor's treading in some dangerous water...
Cripplegate - well spoken re: Driscoll.
Re: the idolatry of Mariolatry, sorry my Godhead only consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I don't need a mother, I am an adopted daughter of the Triune King!

PS Glenn, did you see this article on Driscoll, written by Janet Mefferd? I think it's a brilliant summary of the whole debacle.

If you've already read/posted the link, forgive me. I'm just catching up on a week's worth of discernment news.
