Emerging Missional Fallacies in Postmodern Exegesis
In this opening half of the year, I will share with you how I came into contact with Emerging theology and the things that have led me to confront evangelical accommodation in today’s postmodern culture. Although I was very eager to write to you about the beliefs of Emerging churches, I found it necessary to write appealing to Emerging pastors to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
New Ways of Being Sexual
The more I read literature from Emergent “pastors”, the more I scratch my head — because I simply cannot understand what they mean and cannot figure out the point of what they are saying! It is like a veil is being pulled over my eyes, blinding me from comprehending what Scripture has actually said; I equate it to going back in history to a time where gnosticism and paganism has veiled Christ’s disciples from seeing His truth.
Encouraged in our Theology
This afternoon, I and about 10 other guys had great time of fellowship, sharing, and discussion with Tom Ascol, Exec. Dir. of Founders Ministries at the aptly named Founders Cafe at Southern Seminary. The time of fellowship was initiated by our dear friends at Said At Southern, talked for over an hour discussing [...]
Does Hell really exist?
Rob Bell doesn’t seem to think so. Or does he? Maybe he does, and I’m just confused at his evasive indirectness. If he does believe in a literal hell, he’s seems very quiet about it — especially for somebody who apparently has graduated from seminary. At least, that is what I gather after reading [...]

Erwin McManus has had a significant impact on my church. My pastor reads him a lot and takes a lot of theological insights into ministry from this emerging pastor and “cultural architect”. So after reading this sobering review of his latest book “Soul Cravings“, I am left very disturbed by the emerging missional [...]
Not Worth Dying For
I haven’t had time to read the excerpt from Rob Bell’s book, “Sex God”, that’s in Christianity Today… I have a lot to read and that piece just was at the pit in terms of priority. That was the case until last night, when I was compelled to read what in the world Bell [...]
What’s up with Dallas Willard
As of late, my concern has been about Dallas Willard, his written and preached theology, and how it is infiltrating into the minds of people I love.
See his recommended reading list: do you see anything wrong with what’s listed?
Or…how about his view of salvation? Concerning ‘very good Buddhists’ and their destiny… and explaining Romans [...]
Confronting Evangelical Accommodation
I just began reading a book that I bought earlier this year but had not had the time or religious-academic fervor to read. It is “Reclaiming the Center“, edited by Erickson, Helseth and Taylor, published by Crossway. As the subtitle reads, the book is a collection of scholarly articles about “confronting evangelical accommodation [...]
