How Did Jesus Argue?
An excellent example and description of presuppositional apologetics
Jesus was a master of apologetics (what John Frame calls “the theological discipline that defends the truth of the Christian message). Of course, He is the Master of everything, so it makes sense that He would defend truth in a masterful way. In the New Testament, there are many examples of Jesus engaging with His opponents in apologetical discussions. A brilliant example of this is found in Mark 3:22-30:
The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul in Him!” and, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons!”
So He summoned them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished!
“On the other hand, no one can enter a…

Paul Washer “A Living and Holy Sacrifice”: Romans 12:1-2
What can I say about Paul Washer? For those of you who are not familiar with him, he is married to his wife Charo and they both have three children: Ian, Evan, and Rowan. Paul Washer is also a graduate of Southwestern Theological Seminary, a missionary at Peru for 10 years, a current laborer at HeartCry Missionary Society, and a itinerant preacher. It seems that people’s awareness of him can be traced to his well-known “Shocking Youth Message” that now has over 1 million views on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cncEhCvrVgQ). It was that message that catapulted him to the spotlight.
To those who have listened to him, it appears that he is either a stench of death to some or a sweet smelling aroma. As for me, he is a sweet smelling aroma. His gospel-centered messages have impacted me during my young life as a Christian and continues to do so. We…

The Gospel–A Manifestation of God’s Glory.
Having lost its grip on the biblical gospel, the church has bartered that priceless treasure for a pot of fool’s gold. We have all but eliminated any idea that salvation involves a thorough …

Personal Testimony: Escaping the Fire
This is a must read, IMHO.
A testimony of escaping the charismatic NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) cult, from a sister in Christ who has kindly shared part of her journey for the benefit of others:
Escaping the Fire
I have a LONG story, but I will try to shorten it as best as I can. About 10 years ago my husband and I started attending church when we were stationed in Washington (WA) state, USA. Shortly after we got orders to San Diego, California. Through a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program, we started attending a local Assemblies of God (AG) church.
It was here where we were first exposed to Bethel Redding, and to the teachings of Bill Johnson. Our oldest daughter was 12 years old at the time and went with the youth group to a Jesus Culture conference in Redding. The church had MANY guest speakers and even established their own school of supernatural…
