So What Happened to those WMD'S ?

Don't you think it's a bit strange that Iraq had all those wmd's and then all of a sudden, no one can find them. I mean we had intelligence from the Brittish, the Russians, Israeli's and of course the CIA telling us they did have them. So where did they go? Well, if you believe the media, they never really existed and how dare the U.S. and Brits attack poor 'ol Saddam and take his country away from him.
I have long suspected that something else is going on here and for some reason (say global politics) the media is either covering it up or just ignoring it all together. Wouldn't it make sense for Saddam, knowing for months that his country is going to be invaded, to move those wmd's out of the country and then play geo politics using the media as your greatest wmd. It has been very effective so far because the liberal media will do whatever they can to stick it to Bush and Saddam and his loyal insurgent murderers know it.
Check out this article, I think it's very revealing.

I guess I'm a fundamentalist

I just came accross an article the other day in which Rick Warren (you know the Purpose Driven dude) said the biggest enemy of the 21st century will be fundamentalists. "Warren predicts that fundamentalism, of all varieties, will be 'one of the big enemies of the 21st century.' "Muslim fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, secular fundamentalism - they're all motivated by fear. Fear of each other."

So, the question is, how does Rick Warren define Christian fundamentalism? I was surprised to find that he doesn't define them as some crazy snake charmers in the back woods of West Virginia, but as those who adhere to the basic fundamental essentials of the Christian faith. What are those essentials you ask? How 'bout the Deity of Jesus, the Virgin Birth, the Blood Atonement, Bodily Resurrection, and Inerrancy of Scriptures. Excuse me for my ignorance, but if you eliminate those doctrines, you don't have Christianity. I don't know what you have without them but don't call it Christianity. Check out these links for a little clarity and pray for the church because there is a major deception happening out there. By the way, you can officially call me a fundamentalist.

Something Positive !

Though this blog is mostly dedicated to defending the truth of the gospel, part of what that is about is helping people find good solid teaching. So, one of the things I will be doing is setting up links to different ministries which have an emphasis on holding scripture as the inerrent word of God, and the final arbitor of truth. I think if more church leaders would do that then we wouldn't have such discord in the church today. Too many are being blown around by every wind of doctrine (Eph. 4:14; James 1:6) because they have stopped trusting in God's word for wisdom. This is all too prevelent here in Western Europe and unfortunately the U.S. as well. People have somehow decieved themselves into thinking they are smarter than God. What a joke that is. Hopefully they will come to their senses before it's too late.

A few weeks back I was listening to Brian Broderson over the internet. Brian is a pastor with Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. Back in the mid 90's he and his family came over here to the U.K. to start a church in the London area amid sceptics that told them it would never work here saying, "this is a post Christian nation and people don't care about God." Well they didn't let that deter them and pressed on being faithful with whomever God put in their path. People did start to come and the church grew numerically and more importantly, spiritually. How did this happen? By preaching the word (2 Tim.4:2). They didn't latch on to the latest gimmick fostered on the church but it was just the combination of a gifted teacher (Eph.4:11-13) being faithful to preach the whole councel of God's word.

Not too long ago I met the drummer from that church in London (Calvary Chapel Westminster) and he told me there's about 600 or so that regularly attend now. Not bad for a 'Post Christian Nation' and the best thing about it is that those people are being well fed and the glory goes to God.

Anyway, I was so encouraged by Brian's message that I sent him an e-mail. Much to my surprise, he sent me a personal e-mail back the same day. I just thought that was really cool considering how busy he is. I think he still has a heart for this part of the world. Check out his web-site and teaching at www.backtobasicsradio.com
There's tons of free messages to listen to so give it a try, you'll be blessed.
