Chik-fil-a

Now with Chik-fil-a appreciation day passed, and a new world record in one day sales met (in the respective market), what should we as Christians have learned from this( as well as the anti-christian LGBT community for that matter)?

1. That you should never underestimate the power of one people group to demonstrate their influence once rallied to a call, which btw, we as Christians would do well to participate in more often.

2. That toleration comes from both sides, to be intolerant of ones disagreement to a particular "lifestyle", or for that matter any opinion one may hold, is hypocritical if you call yourself a tolerant person.

3. That this whole thing was a demonstration not against what the LGBT community believes, but support for one individual to express his or her beliefs openly and publicly without threat of harm from the opposing party.

Also I can't help but sense the blatant hypocrisy of the so called "leaders" of cites et.al. against those with Biblical values when they in fact go out of their way (and force us to as well) to coddle and comfort those who hold the same anti-gay "marriage" belief  i.e. Muslims! Why is it that we never hear an out cry over the advocating of the killing of gays as the Muslim religion clearly does hmmmmm? No true Christian would ever advocate such an act towards those with different "values".

 In conclusion what I'm trying to say is that we as believers should first never back down from a fight against our freedoms that we have been granted by God, but that also means that we don't try and use unjust means to force people to live according to our standards, that's the job of the Gospel not of the government.

I will also say this, as I have said before, that the whole problem with the gay "marriage" issue is( apart from a depraved sinful heart) that the government is involved, and since that's the case we must, for the rights of the innocent that will be violated, stand against the legalization of those so called "marriages".

Apologetics

Just in case anyone's interested (after last Sundays, Sunday school's lesson on the subject) in getting a grasp on the discipline of Apologetics, here's an entire Seminary level (don't let that scare you) course you can watch at your own convenience, enjoy.... And BTW it's posted on my blog, if anyone has any ideas or subjects that you would be interested in exploring please let me know by posting them .....thanks!

What is Gluttony?

Ever wondered just what gluttony is, is it eating more than one serving at dinner, more that one piece of desert, just how big is to big of a bowl of ice cream? Read HERE

The history of Covenant Theology

Did you ever wonder how covenant theology came into being, what is Covenant Theology? In short, it's a theology that believes that all the promises to Israel have been passed to the church, that infants of believers should be sprinkled or poured (notice I didn't say Baptized) and admitted to membership of their "church".

And that as such they receive some of the benefits of the "church" as members (not the Lord's supper for instance), they also deny the rapture and the tribulation, believing instead that the church will eventually take over the world, and usher in the kingdom of Christ, and some even go so far that we as Christians should invoke old testament laws and penalties on all that brake any of God's laws. Although there is much wrong with this view I thought I would post a link that gave a short history of this view- READ HERE

A new Blog

So what's the purpose for a new blog? Well first of all blogs are a great way for people to get info. Second you can deal with subjects to a wide range of people and allow them to read and ponder and even respond (which they should do). And third it's fun.
This blog will focus only on Theology, in every aspect of the Christian walk. It's goal will be to sharpen and edify the body of Christ. No politics. Thats on my other blog.
As I slowly design and add new things my hope is to deal with topics that may not always be brought up in mixed company or theological debates, as well as keep up with what's going on in the world of theology outside our circle. I encourage all to post comments, questions and topics they wish to deal with.

P.S. The title and picture for this blog comes from-

Jer 23:29  Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
See you soon!
