Check out a message that I taught at Calvary Chapel in Plano, Texas back in May. A brother from Brownsville, Texas let me know the other night that it was up on their site. They serve as my home church. They are awesome brothers and sisters and I love them!

He's Still God

David Rosales wrote, "In ancient times, pagans erected idols to show their god was greater than our God. Antiochus did this in the Temple: God is still here and Antiochus is gone. Muslims want a victory mosque at Ground Zero. Guess what? When the smoke clears, God will still be God! Our God reigns..., and every knee will bow before our Savior Jesus!"

Enlightenment Philosophy

Ever wonder why it seems that Washington continues to make decisions that are contrary to the majority of American opinion? The answer is found in Enlightenment philosophy. This philosophy teaches that the majority has no rights. The rational is simple. You must have rights for the minority to protect them from the majority. If you give both the majority and the minority equal rights, you'll no longer have minority rights because the majority will always overwhelm the minority.

Compromise

Daniel 1:5 says, “And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.” The young men were to be schooled for three years before they were brought to the king of Babylon. We must remember that their schooling was completely pagan in nature; much like our public schooling today has become. I take my hat off to the public school teachers that are making an attempt to stay true to their faith. Quite frankly, it’s a losing battle. I really don’t know how much longer Christians are going to be able to work in any arena of the public school system without totally compromising their faith. Sadly, most already have and just haven’t come to grips with it yet.
