A Review of “The Shack”—If you haven’t heard of this book yet, you soon will. My copy is in the mail, but in the mean time, check out why you don’t want to be caught in the shack.

Several years ago I was in a band during high school called Watermill, and just the other day I came across a CD with some of the songs we used to play.
Here’s the acoustic version of our popular song, “You Don’t Know.” I’ll try to post a few other songs from the CD in the future. They’re actually not too bad!
It took me a while to make it past the first paragraph on this one, but the rest of the article is quite interesting:
In his interview with Larry King (CNN, June 20, 2005), Joel Osteen said that he is not sure what happens to people who reject Christ. King followed up with the question about Jews, Moslems, and other non-Christians. “They’re wrong, aren’t they?” Osteen replied, “Well, I don’t know if I believe they’re wrong. I believe here’s what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God will judge a person’s heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father.

I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.” Michael S. Horton

After more than a month of persistence from the Mormon missionaries, my wife and I finally set aside time to meet with them.
Last night two Mormon elders came to our house to share with us their message of the “complete” gospel. I have to be completely honest—I know almost nothing about Mormons. To show my ignorance on the topic, I learned for the first time last night that Joseph Smith—the founder of the movement—was only 14 when he received his “first vision.”
That’s young.
As we welcomed them into our house, my wife and I quickly noticed the missionaries’ observations about us—that we have a Strong’s Concordance, Scripture artwork, etc.—even though we tried not to let them know too much up front.
This was our first experience together with Mormons, and we wanted to hear from them as if we were just another couple. Needless to say, we were just another couple to them, and they did make their assumptions about us before sharing anything. Read More
