Soulwinning Über Alles
What has the preeminence in fundamentalist circles? What do they glorify above all else? Christ? Christ’s church? The fellowship of the saints?
In fact, if you listen, you’ll find that the predominant thing glorified in all of fundamentalism is the act of confrontational evangelism and the people who do that “ministry.”
Soulwinning is what calls people to the ministry.
Soulwinning is what defines your usefulness to the ministry.
Soulwinning is even the cure for depression!
And yet, the way these people do this never shows up in the Bible or anywhere in church history outside of the last century or two. How very strange.
Tragedy
My thoughts and prayers go with the families of those who lost loved ones in the highway tragedy at Colonial Hills Baptist church.
We’ve had harsh words in the past for Chuck Phelps but today I hope we can set those things aside and weep with those who weep. Nobody deserves to lose a child, a brother, a sister, a father or mother this way. Anyone who would follow the darker angels of their nature to find some sense of retribution here runs the risk of losing both their humanity and my sympathy.
Almighty God, look with pity upon the sorrows of those for whom we pray. Remember them, Lord, in your mercy; nourish them with patience; comfort them with a sense of your goodness; lift up your countenance upon them; and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I just…don’t even know what to say about this one.
Logos
We’re going to Asia and taking them the KJV.
Boy, oh, boy won’t they be happy?
