5 Point Salt

1) A Conversation With Francis Chan, Mark Driscoll & Joshua Harris (video) – Sanctification comes through simplicity, poverty and suffering? That’s interesting. Do one of these guys believe that? Am I the only one who thinks this conversation is just plain weird?

2) An LDS View On Glenn Beck & The ‘Restoring Honor’ Rally – Greg West, an LDS Church Examiner sheds some light on Glenn Beck’s dedication to the cult of Latter-Day ‘saints’and the deception many Christians are either ignoring for the sake of unity in conservative politics, or out of simple lack of knowledge that Mormonism is, indisputably, hellish doctrine.

3) Glenn Beck – America’s New Worship leader? (video) – Todd Friel of ‘Wretched’ doing one of the things he does best.

4) An African-American Icon Speaks Truth to the Lincoln Cult – “Lincoln is theology, not historiology. He is a faith, he is a church, he is a religion, and he has his own priests and acolytes, most of whom have a vested interest in [him] and who are passionately opposed to anybody telling the truth about him.”

5) Something Better Than BBQ (video) – I’m Southern, and very much so at that – no apologies. Even if you are not blessed in that particular way, you’ll enjoy this little documentary on Southern culture and the Gospel. This is an inspiring story!

6) You’re not Islamaphobic? (video) – A terrorist leader speaks of the ‘virtues’ of using Anthrax on Americans. Todd Friel & ‘Wretched’.

7) A Nation Ruined By Rights – Dr. H. Rondel Rumburg writes the introduction to a reprint of R.L. Dabney’s classic, The Anti-Biblical Theory of Rights. In Dr. Rumburg’s words: “Even though first written in July 1888, the principles Dabney discloses are an index to the state of things today. In a day when we hear so much about rights and entitlements, Dr. Dabney deals with responsibilities for our actions and duty towards God.”

8). The Original ‘Burn The Quran’ Day (video) – This September 11th, a church in Florida is protesting the growing influence of Islam by offending 2 billion people. Specifically, they’re staging a “Burn the Quran” Day. But is this the first day of its kind? In fact, is today’s Qur’an the Qur’an that Muhammad intended his followers to have? Let’s take a look at the evidence!

9) Life In The Bean Field – (A look at 2 Samuel 23:1-12) “Today, we are called to engage against the enemy wherever we are. The location and circumstances will vary, but the call to war remains for each of us. Mortification of sin, defense of the faith against false teachings, battle after battle, day after day. All who name the name of Christ Jesus as Lord and Master must take our stand in some way today.”

10) Are Worldly Interest Causing You To Sin? (video) – Courtesy of Cross TV,  Mark Kielar warns professing Christians to steer clear of worldly interest (even permissible ones) to avoid falling into a lack luster devotion to Jesus Christ!

11) James Montgomery Boice: Whatever Happened to God? – In any discussion of reformation in doctrine one must come to the realization that the real problem of our time is that there is hardly any doctrine at all to reform. So when we talk about reformation we must focus on a recovery of theology, period.
