My wife gives me a hard time every time we travel and I point out yet another really lame church sign. I confess, I have this issue with churches that put up these horrible messages on their signs for all to see. Is there a special committee in many of these churches that comes up with these messages? This is my plea to all churches (especially it seems Baptist) to please carefully review what goes up on your signage - especially with a focus to make sure it’s theologically sound.

Last week I took a road trip to Harbison Blvd. I recently did some trade work with a pool company for a new web site project and the result was a nice new filtration system for our pool that uses salt instead of chlorine to clean our pool. So Saturday morning I told Angie I was heading out to stop by Sams to get a big bag of salt. She reminded me that traffic would be awful because of Christmas shoppers but I thought it wouldn’t be that bad this far from Christmas.

More and more books are showing up in bookstores as well as Christian bookstores that have either questionable content or down right heretical content. I urge Christians to carefully review a book and check Scripture carefully and maybe check with your pastor before delving into a book just because it’s labeled Christian or is on the top selling “Christian” list. In fact, more and more of the top sellers are contaminated with the ever popular “prosperity gospel”. (Joel Osteen is notorious for his prosperity gospel.) In fact, Osteen carries a very universalist view of salvation as indicated by a recent interview on Larry King live.
One such title that deserves some attention is “Wild at Heart” by John Eldredge. This book has become very popular and while there are a few good points in this book it is riddled with down right heretical views - many causing an incorrect view of God’s attributes.
In today’s postmodern world it is so important that Christians do their homework and have a good, sound understanding of Biblical doctrine so that they can carefully select literature to read outside of the Bible.
I stress the Bereans and their carefulness in checking Scripture. Oh do we need to be like the Bereans in today’s culture!
Speaking of “Wild at Heart”… here is a great article that demonstrates some of the heretical views of that book.
