A quick guide to understanding baptism. What it is, what it means, and why we do it.

I know. I really know that you must be careful in dishing out criticism. It is not helpful to always be criticizing. But giving warnings about false teaching is really different - it is commended in the Bible (1 Timothy 4:1-7, notice verse 6). There are a host of books being published by companies just looking for a fast buck. They don't really care if it matches any careful theology, as long as it sells and "nobody gets hurt." With all that said, I also know it's not popular to point out the difficulties with Roman Catholic doctrine. Most Roman Catholics I know do not follow the official teaching of the church in these matters; however, some do - and so pointing out error is needed. And for all the good we see in the new Pope, he does believe these things or he wouldn't be the Pope. And these are serious errors, and errors that impact salvation - no matter how loving we are or they are, Ephesians 2:8-9 is still in the Bible! That's why we've included Tim Challies' blog. He says some important things that can not and should not be glossed over. It's okay to be wrong about some things, it is not okay to be wrong about these.

Tim Challies is always thought provoking and never boring. His most recent post about the Bible reminds us of some crucial, unique and life changing maxims about the Word of Truth....

What should we be thinking about the book "Heaven is for Real", the Sunday School materials based on the book, and now the movie? (And, are we ready for the soon to be released comic book? Just kidding!) I've talked with many believers who are enamored with the event, the little boy's experiences and what heaven is "really like."
