A Few More Reformation Resources

It’s Reformation Day, the day Martin Luther nailed 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg Church. So here are some articles and resources related to the Reformation.

The Reformers: William Tyndale

Everyone’s heard of Martin Luther, but what about William Tyndale? Tyndale was the Englishman who lived in exile and died a martyr’s death trying to give the English a Bible in their own language.

The Reformers: Martin Luther

It makes sense to begin these few posts about the Reformers with the most well-known: Martin Luther. But before that, I’d like to say that my intention here is not to revere these men. They were all men. Sinners, just like the rest of us. But I think it is important to remember them and the impact they had on Christianity by God’s grace.

Remembering the Reformers

Although I do not consider myself Reformed in the theological sense of the word (I share some of those views, but not all of them), I still look upon the Protestant Reformation with gratitude for the men God used to fight for truth, for the recovery of the gospel and especially the principle of the Bible being the “ultimate authority” for Christians (Sola Scriptura).

Podcast Recommendation: Chris Rosebrough Debunks “Holy Ghost” Movie

This episode of Fighting for the Faith is not to be missed! Pirate Christian Chris Rosebrough tackles the newly released “Holy Ghost” movie and shows that the “miracle” healings are easy parlor tricks and cold readings and illustrates that the theology about hearing from the Holy Spirit promoted by the film makers is wholly in contrast to Scripture.

Don’t fall for it brothers and sisters. Read your Bible and understand how the real Holy Spirit works (John 14-16 is a great start!) so you’re not taken in by stuff like this.

Updates on the Driscoll/Mars Hill Meltdown

The stream of bad news and apologies from Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church continued over the weekend with news of Sunday protests by former church members. Here are some of the latest headlines and relevant audio including an interview from Fighting for the Faith. 

Consequences of False Teaching: Driving People from Christ

You might have noticed the theme for the past couple days has been false teaching here at Steak and a Bible. I’d like to focus today on consequences. There are serious consequences for false teaching: judgment from God upon false teachers and also the real possibility of people remaining in their sins and unbelief because they have not heard the true gospel and been converted. The price for false teaching is high.

A Purpose Driven Problem

It’s been some time since I brought up Rick Warren and the unbiblical nature of his “Purpose Driven” philosophy. But it certainly is unbiblical, and a recent Warren update and sermon review from Chris Rosebrough’s Fighting for the Faith get to the very root of the problem: a faulty premise.

Podcast: Stand Up for the Truth and Dr. Randy White Discuss the SBC

I want to share the podcast I listened to this morning on my drive to work. Mike LeMay of Stand Up for the Truth interviewed Pastor Randy White of the First Baptist Church of Katy, Texas, about the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Must listen: SUFT’s program on Furtick

Today’s broadcast of Stand Up for the Truth discusses the recent news that came out regarding Steven Furtick and Elevation Church and a rather disturbing coloring book for the children of that church. I think Mike and Amy did a job of treating this with the gravity it deserves and Godly attitudes. Listen here.
