Spurgeon: “To raise the dead is our mission!…… How is so strange a work to be achieved? If we yield to unbelief, we shall be staggered by the evident fact that the work to which the Lord has called us is quite beyond our own personal power. We cannot raise the dead. If asked to do so, we might each one of us, like the king of Israel, rend our clothes, and say, ‘Am I God, to kill and to... Read more

Comment Me No Comments restates the simple gospel in his post each paragraph links to a post explaining his reasoning for using different wordings to my own explanation of the gospel. Point 1 he agrees with, point 2 he restates prefering to use different words but to my mind there is little difference between us there. On point 3, I am not quite clear how much we disagree- it seems that he is uncomfortable with some of my language about... Read more
HT Scotwise Charles Finney said: “How To Preach Without Converting Anybody Preach on every doctrine that centers the attention on man rather than Jesus. Teach every doctrine that makes man the center of God’s attention rather than God the center of man’s devotion. Tell people only what God will do for them. Avoid preaching about the necessity of a radical change of heart, through the truth revealed to the heart by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Let your supreme... Read more
My earlier gauntlet on Infant baptism has led to the following frank admission: “I have to be honest that the practice of infant baptism is cannot be well-argued from the New Testament. The best that can be done is to claim that it might be implicit in the practice of household baptism, though that is far from certain. But we do know that it is a very ancient practice in the church, as the situation changed from a church of... Read more
Half Pint House is frustrated as no one will engage with him on questions he has asked about why infant baptism is encouraged. Heres my reply on his comments section Let me know if you get answers to these questions. As a non-paedobaptist I doubt you will get very clear ones. For me, if there is any doubt at all about whether babies should be baptised we should leave them unbaptised. Why? Based on a Warnock law of decision making-... Read more
Comment me no coments has begun a whole series with The Simple Gospel: Responses, part 1 in which he will be responding point by point to my explanation of my wife’s simple gospel presentation. He quotes my first point- 1. God made everything that exists out of nothing and made mankind as the pinnacle of his creation designed for a relationship with him. This desire for a relationship is hardwired into us, and one of the evidences for this is... Read more
Maximus of Vessel of Honouris seriously in love and its all being recorded in great detail on his blog. I have met this blogger IRL and all I can say is I am so happy for him. Maybe a good woman will help him gain real perspective on his life- it just may not be the same again. I only hope she realises just how personal his multitude of posts about it are…….. UPDATE This whole romance turned out to... Read more

I so love the West Wing. Heard a great quote in one of the most recent ones I watched. CJ is rowing about why she didnt support a colleagues proposal and said “you get my support the same way I get yours when I agree with what you are saying or when I dont care about what you are saying”. I think that statement is very interesting, and one to consider the ramifications of in the work environment. Some people... Read more
