"But That Doesn't Mean What It Means"
By Bojidar MarinovIn our theological controversy with our dispensationalist brethren, one of the most common arguments is this: “I am a dispensationalist, I believe in the rapture, and that we live in the end times, the great apostasy is upon us, the Antichrist is soon to be revealed, but that doesn't mean we sell everything and go out and sit on a hill waiting for that day, doing nothing.” We who are posmillenialists, i.e., we have victorious, optimistic eschatology and philosophy of history, keep pointing to the fact that dispensationalism has only one logical conclusion: All work for the Lord is useless this side of the “rapture.” Our dispen

Richard Dawkins and the "Nothing Butters"
By Gary DeMarAtheists and evolutionists do not like to be compared to people like Adolf Hitler. Of course, I don’t blame them. Just because someone shares a similar ideology with a tyrant in one area does not mean that he shares everything that tyrant did. It’s not that atheists generally are any more immoral than religious people because of their atheist beliefs, it’s that they can’t account for the validity of their moral choices or even what constitutes morality given the fact that “for hundreds of millions of years, multicelled animals have been emerging, competing, fighting, killing, parasitizing, torturing, suffering, and going extinct.”

Losing Patience with Frank Schaeffer
By Gary DeMarIt’s hard living in the shadow of a famous father. Some sons have done well (John Quincy Adams), while other sons have done very badly (Joe DiMaggio, Jr.). Hank Williams, Jr. was typecast as a “Hank Williams clone” of his famous father.

What was once clearly published regularly in an easily accessible part of their website is now hidden behind a registration page which requires first and last names, company name, email address, and phone number. And “why?” you may ask. We can’t be sure, but the deteriorated status of the stock market data is looking more and more like a good thing to hide while the tout-TV, government, and Federal Reserve “experts”

The Inefficiency of Cheap Grace
By Eric RauchThe city of Atlanta recently announced that it was going to privatize its parking enforcement. As of November 1, ParkAtlanta, a privately-owned company, took over responsibility for enforcing the city's parking meters and ticketing, as well as the booting and towing of illegally-parked cars. The seven-year contract guarantees the city a $5.5 million paycheck each year, meaning a $38.5 million boost for the city, in addition to getting rid of the hassles of maintaining its own publicly-funded force. Atlanta is only one of many cities that have recently adopted the private option. Cities that have been privatized in whole or part (including Anaheim and Baltimore), have
