Voddie Baucham on Sarah Palin....




Select Quotes from the interview:

"...Political Ideology is really an outgrowth of our religious beliefs. You can't separate what a person believes from how a person will govern, so I think it's incredibly important that we know where people stand on religious issues."

"We're about the Gospel. The culture doesn't dictate truth, the Bible dictates truth..."

“…I will not violate the teaching of the text in order to somehow sound more appropriate for the culture. I am herald of the truth of the Gospel, and my job is to teach the Gospel according to what the authors have said, not according to what I think the culture wants to hear. “

Examining the tithe

Blessings to you dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to read the following. It is my prayer that it will edify, and bring clarity, and provoke thought and a closer walk with our Savior. Please note that wherever scripture is quoted, it is taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) In His service, Pastor.ctj One of the most heavily debated doctrines of the modern church is the doctrine of the tithe. Many Christians generally accept that the law of tithing, as other Jewish laws, was abolished upon Jesus' crucifixion, when he fulfilled the Old Testament law. For the most part, Christians do not follow Jewish community laws such as the extensive dietary restrictions in the Old Testament, for example, and tithing was part of that group of laws.

Thabiti or T.D. what do 'we' folk prefer?
