Posted in Christianity, Homiletics, How to . . . ?, Preaching, Religion, Stage 8 - Message Detail, Uncategorized on October 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

It is ironic that in the post-enlightenment west, where we “know” that spirits are not real, we naively celebrate Halloween as if it were just fun for the children.  The occultic reality of what goes on in many places remains hidden from many blissful believers in our churches.  Perhaps Cranfield was right in suggesting that [...]

More on the 2 Basic Stances

Posted in Homiletics, Preaching, Stage 7 - Message Outline, Stage 8 - Message Detail, Uncategorized on October 19, 2007 | 1 Comment »
