Preventing faithlessness in marriage involves more than deleting a Facebook account, Agreed. But doensn't all of this reaction sound like christians are trying too hard to protect their new idol of technology. Seems like if you even suggest that the use of cell phones texting, computers, and ect. should be moderated by biblical principles, that people start getting nervous. They immediatly start crying "Legalism" and state how all thechnology belongs to God anyway. It seems to me that from the T.V to the Texting, that most people are guarding it so closly, and making sure nobody says anything negative about the use of it, because, just like the drug addict, they want to protect whatever they have made an idol of, or are addicted to. Yes ultimatly all technology belongs to God, just as all material substance belongs to Him, yet the use and misuse of it is something to be avioded. After hurricane Katrina we lost everything, and when we were rebuilding we did not get another T.V. When the people at church heard about it, they wnated us to huury and get another one; quicky and quietly, lest anyone thought we were weird. Eventually we did. But we were fine without it, and we didn't die. We actually talked to one another more, and read more-Real Books printed on Paper. |

Great Sermon! Pastor Martin is as rich and thorough in his Parting Words sermons as he is in all of his teachings. In this sermon he amdmonishes his congregation to hold fast to the biblical standards of church order. Even though he is gone as pastor from Trinity Bapt.we can still enjoy his teachings through this resource. |

Jessica Dawson wrote: I went to our local college theatre last night to listen to him, it was a lecture called: "Why I am not an atheist." During Q&A someone asked to the effect of creation and I wasn't satisfied with the answer, so I went to talk to him after. Mr. Bannister believes in a long earth creation and not in the literal six days. He also leans more towards the gap theory. But he did say that Ravi Zacharias himself, is a young earth creationist. So, I was surprised that Bannister did not seem to see creation, as a vital component in his arguments against atheism. Further, that he didn't share the same views on creation as Ravi Zacharias. Wow. I didn't know that about Bannister. That issue does go to how we view scripture. I'm glad Zacharias is still on track though. Thanks for the info. |

Neil wrote: Notice the shallow appeal to civic "reputation" & vague spirituality, rather than to Scripture. So if "spirituality" really matters, then why aren't these pious clergymen instead protesting that the restaurants are open at all that day? My guess from observation: church people like restaurants open for Sunday lunch (thus making it difficult for employees to attend services). Very good observation Neil. |
