On the proper object of hope

without comments

Barack Obama invoked the following scripture at the close of his speech at the convention:

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess.

Of course, there is a bit more to it than what Senator Obama quoted:

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

I, for one, am hoping on Jesus Christ, not on America’s national destiny.  Typically I take it easy on politicians who invoke scripture.  But when you replace the hope of Christ with the hope that America can be a better place, I have to stand up and say something.

The Authorship of Hebrews: Glad we cleared that up

without comments

Todd Bentley, a revivalist from Canada who is currently active in Florida knows who wrote the book of Hebrews:

In another instance, he said he visited the cabin where Paul lives in heaven, and Paul told him that he and Abraham co-wrote the Book of Hebrews.

Glad we cleared that up.

Honest question for Christian Intelligent Design

without comments

By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.

Why are we looking for scientific evidence of design when creation is a matter of faith?
