    WHY AM I DOING THIS?: As much as an amateur blogger and theologian can do this...I want to make you think. I want you to know what you believe and why you believe it. And I want you to believe what you do - not because Mommy and Daddy believed it - but because it is the truth as contained in the Scriptures. I pray that God will use this blog and the resources and links provided here to grow its readers (including me) in the grace and knowledge of Christ. I pray this knowledge will result in a life of obedience that flows - not from fear or a desire to gain God's favor - but from a gratitude of knowing the truth about Who your Creator is, and what your Creator has done for you.

Calling Oprah What She Is – A Damned Heretic

Posted by Brian Thornton on April 4, 2008

Oprah almost gets it right. She says there are many paths, and this is true. Her damnable error is that she teaches there are many paths to God, when in fact the many paths she refers to lead to destruction.

Solid Theology from a Five-Year-Old

Posted by Brian Thornton on April 4, 2008

If you know anything about our business, you know that each week starting around Wednesday we begin to closely monitor the potential for weather situations for the upcoming weekend. Simply put, moonwalk jumpers and wind/rain don’t mix too well.

While riding around with us yesterday, our youngest son, Nikolas, overheard Pam and I talking about recent local weather forecasts and the utter lack of reliability thereof (can you tell we’ve had some weather forecast issues lately?).

Nikolas, hearing us expressing our opinions of it raining when the forecast is for dry conditions, and vica-versa, asked a very serious question. I could tell his mind was working hard. It was a genuine question, and one which resulted from my son’s attempt to logically understand what Pam and I were saying about the weather doing something other than what ‘professionals’ had said it would do. In his mind, whatever the weatherman said would happen is what was supposed to happen.

He queried me, “Dad…what does it mean if it rains on a day when it’s not supposed to?”

I replied, “Well, if it rains on a day when it’s not supposed to rain, then that would mean that God made a mistake.”

To which Nikolas replied, “But God doesn’t make mistakes!”

Pam and I audibly affirmed his clear statement of truth concerning the nature of God, and then I glanced over to Pam and motioned to her in approval over my youngest son’s solid theology concerning the absolute authority and sovereignty of God over all things, and man’s complete inability to ever perfectly predict what the Creator will do when it comes to the weather, or anything else for that matter.

“Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
