Lord, have mercy!

Click to watch Youtube videoYou have to see the above video by Jack Schaap who is responding to some of the clips of his preaching shown on the recent 20/20 exposé of the IFB. He defends himself as if he were proclaiming the Gospel in those clips instead of simply being an idiot. I honestly want t

Bible College??

My eight year old son said something very interesting (and pretty funny) last night at the dinner table. In the course of a fairly normal conversation he told my wife that he probably knew more than she did. My wife and I looked at each other and then she replied "Why's that?". Then he gave an a

One Million in 24 hours? Why not!!

Ok, so we talked about the left for a post there, the lunatic right quickly draws us back. I don't want to be harsh, but there are some times when you have to call a spade a spade.
