Hunting Tiger Woods

December 3, 2009

Tiger Woods

But Tiger is being hunted by something more menacing than journalists. Tiger’s real enemy is his sin, and that’s an enemy much more difficult to discern and one that can’t be managed in our own strength. It’s an enemy that never sleeps.

C.J. Mahaney brings a different, and much needed angle to the Tiger Woods story.
Read Hunting Tiger Woods.

Update: Tiger (and everyone else) might want to check out When Sinners Say I Do

Clean Up your Sex Life

November 4, 2009

Last week Tim Challies ran a series Sexual Detox that is a must read. Challies seeks to replace lies with the truth.

Many young men need a kind of sexual detox before they are equipped to be the kind of pure, loving, attentive, sacrificial husbands that God calls them to be. In this series of articles I hope to help young men reorient their understanding of sex, both in the big picture and in the act itself, according to God’s plan for this great gift.

While the series is aimed at young men, it is worthwhile for all to read.

  1. Pornifying the Marriage Bed
  2. Breaking Free
  3. A Theology of Sex
  4. Detoxification
  5. Freedom
  6. Recommended Resources

Great job Tim!

So says the founder of AshleyMadison.com a website designed to help destroy marriages.

Ed Young will debate Noel Biderman, founder of AshleyMadison.com on Thursday night. According to Fellowship Church Ed will have a unique opportunity to deliver God’s truth about this topic to an international stage. Filming begins at 6:30 and all the details are on Fellowship Church’s website.

ABC plans to use the debate in its new Nightline series about the Ten Commandments set to begin on September 24. According to ABC, the series explores the Biblical commandments from modern day perspective. Will God be glorified or will this series continue to misrepresent the Living God of the Universe?

Here is a segment that Fox4 ran about the debate:

Let’s all pray that Ed Young faithfully presents the Word of God to a lost and depraved world.

PS. Note to ABC, please find a good pastor to faithfully share the Law and Gospel for your viewers. Chris Rosebrough can help!

Fireproof (Kirk Cameron) DVD cover image

The Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation’s (@CCEF) Winston Smith recently posted “Fireproof…I Finally Watched It.

I won’t reveal all here, but to Fireproof’s credit there are still many, many difficulties ahead. Again, the grittiness of real life, even real life in Christ, was accurately portrayed. But the gospel of Christ is shown to be the active ingredient in the redemption of the marriage. Does that mean you have to like the movie, too? No, of course not. It’s just a movie, but if you don’t like it I suspect it won’t be because you thought the gospel was portrayed as an easy solution to life’s problems.
