Thoughts on Worrying - Corrie Ten Boom

"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."

Mormon to Give Commencement Address on Topic of "Faith" at Baptist University

Liberty University has recently been on the radar because of the exaggerations and inconsistencies the seminary's president Ergun Caner has made in regards to his Muslim background.

In addition to that, Liberty has caused much concern over their choice of popular conservative talk show host and unashamed Mormon Glenn Beck to give the commencement address to the 2010 Liberty University graduating class on Saturday, May 15th.

In his May 13th TV broadcast, Beck made a passing comment that the topic of his commencement address to the students of Liberty will be on the importance of "faith".

A Mormon addressing Baptist students on the importance of faith? I just have to ask, what's going on at Liberty University?

Job's Response to Loss

Having just gotten word of losing all his oxen, donkeys, sheep, servants, camels... and his sons and daughters...

Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped.
 He said,
         "Naked I came from my mother's womb,
         And naked I shall return there
         The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.
         Blessed be the name of the LORD."
 Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God.
-Job 1:20-22 (NASB)

Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

The Revolutionary Reformers

"What was revolutionary about the Protestant Reformers was their insistence that God is not savingly known through created nature as paganism had proposed, or through human nature as the medieval mystics had thought (and some evangelicals now think), or through the Church and its sacraments as the Roman Catholic Church taught, but directly, by the work of the Holy Spirit and the truth of the biblical Word, the internal and supernatural work of the Spirit creating the spiritual climate in which Scripture might be received.

The Reformers rejected all assertions that there are channels of saving grace in nature, human nature, or the Church. They held that there are no intermediaries between God and the sinner save for Christ himself, and they insisted that this unique role could not be usurped without destroying the faith that claimed his name.

Christ's role is a sine qua non, they argued, because the judgment of God on the one side and human corruption on the other have produced a double alienation with which he alone can deal. Only through Christ is God's wrath turned aside and human disaffection from God and his rule replaced by a submissive affection."
