The text is Ephesians 1.10: “…that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” Sermon delivered by Dr Kenneth Talbot at Christ Presbyterian Church on May 19th, 2013.
I did something i haven’t done in a long time…i wandered on over to DID. The first thing to catch my eye was what appeared to be a dispute on the resurrection in the activity feed. So i clicked on the thread to see what was up. Apparently, there is a member at DID who [...]
It’s that time again. A hideous crime is committed, the criminal is caught and tried, and Christians begin arguing on Facebook and Twitter about what we should do with the criminal. The recent flare-up revolves around the trial of Kermit Gosnell. For those living under a rock, Gosnell is a 72-year-old ‘doctor’ who has been “charged with [...]
I have been through a ‘formal’ church membership service before, but this past Sunday was very special for a numer of reasons. It is a testimony of the living Christ, who i not only know to be clad with the three-fold office of Prophet, Priest, and King; but have experienced His work in our lives. …As Prophet [...]
It doesn’t appear to me that people just wake up one day and decide to be heretics. I certainly didn’t. If you had told me back in 2000 or earlier that i would eventually deny the Gospel with some whacked out, recently-innovated, antinomian, pelagian, eschatologically-driven view called hyper-preterism, i would have called you ‘nuts.’ Yet….in [...]
In the history of Biblical interpretation, Christians have always understood the events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 as having prophetic significance. The degree of significance has varied from interpreter to interpreter. However, in the 19th century an extreme preterist interpretation began to crop up. This interpretation proposes that all Bible prophecy (incl. the [...]

Sometimes, you just have to chuckle. Chuck, in an indirect swing at us, writes: And now I’m told that I ought question my salvation because I don’t believe Jesus is still five foot nine and a buck sixty five. Yeah, right. Do these guys really believe this baloney? As if the incarnation is tied to Christ’s post [...]
From my friend Ben Otero: Lyrical what-a-what-ism? Yes, I wrote a hip hop album based on the teachings in the Westminster Shorter Catechism. You maybe wondering what a nearly 400 year old document has to do with hip hop culture today, and for that matter, what on earth a catechism even is? Let’s play a [...]
I saw this video posted on Facebook today. It’s an argument that has been making its rounds quite a bit lately, even by believers. I thought i’d share my brief response below. First, the video: I don’t buy the argument used by non-believers and believers that we should not make “gay marriage” an issue because [...]
Scanning over my Facebook feed, i found two unrelated posts by two different people of videos from the same woman, Melissa Harris-Perry of MSNBC. In the first video, she gripes over the current “Harlem Shake” craze, asking people to respect culture and stop calling the current fad the “Harlem Shake.” She claims that communities that create [...]
Benjamin the Esquire has released his first single from the upcoming album Lyrical Catechism. The album drops April 30th. If you like boom bap with solid lyricism and sound doctrine, you’ll want to get this album!
Sam posted this video on FB and i finally got around to checking it out: Hilarious. “Fundies” are often bashed by snotty-nosed “liberal Christians” for supposedly making Christianity less appealing by insisting on ‘silly’ traditions like young earth, biblical inerrancy, and so on. We are told that we turn people off by looking like intellectual [...]
