  • On Ebola The Internet Overreacts, Government Under Reacts

    It has been fascinating to watch the reaction to the Ebola virus over the past few months. On one hand there has been an extreme overreaction online to the virus. On the other hand there has been an extreme under reaction on the part of the Federal government. Interestingly, local governments seem to be more interested in taking on the virus head on, as evidenced by the quarantine taking place of a man infected with Ebola in Dallas, Texas. Ultimately those who are preaching doom and gloom online need to tone it down while the Federal government needs to stop...

    The Nature of Regeneration " When it pleased God . . . to reveal His Son in me . . . —Galatians 1:15-16 " If Jesus Christ is going to regenerate me, what is the problem He faces? It is simply this— I have a heredity in which I had no say or decision; I am not holy, nor am I likely to be; and if all Jesus Christ can do is tell me that I must be holy, His teaching only causes me to despair. But if Jesus Christ is truly a regenerator, someone who can put His...

    The Nature of Degeneration " Just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned . . . —Romans 5:12 " The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin, but that the nature of sin, namely, my claim to my right to myself, entered into the human race through one man. But it also says that another Man took upon Himself the sin of the human race and put it away— an infinitely more profound revelation (see Hebrews 9:26)....

    The Place of Ministry " He said to them, ’This kind [of unclean spirit] can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting’ —Mark 9:29 " His disciples asked Him privately, ’Why could we not cast it out?’ ” (Mark 9:28). The answer lies in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “This kind can come out by nothing but” concentrating on Him, and then doubling and redoubling that concentration on Him. We can remain powerless forever, as the disciples were in this situation, by trying to do God’s work without concentrating on His power, and by following instead the...
