Defending.Contending. had this post about a CCM music group who is allowing their music to be used on Grey’s Anatomy, a show that according to others is based on the character’s promiscuity and adultery.
CCM’s long line of disappointments continues with Caedmon’s Call.
And once again I am shocked by the latest news of yet more compromise [...]
Halloween - Just Innocent Fun for Kids?

Real Halloween back for long traumatized Pa. town
For 16 years, real horror overshadowed the make-believe terror of Halloween in this Pennsylvania town, where trick-or-treating after dark was banned after an 11-year-old girl was abducted off the street and murdered.
But on Friday, pint-sized witches, princesses and vampires will once again be shuffling from house to house [...]
Halloween – “Evil in the Sight of the Lord” or “Glorifying the Lord”?
October 29, 2008

2 Kings 23:37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. KJV
The other question [...]

Halloween - What do you think?

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

Regeneration vs Decisionism - Paul Washer
October 27, 2008
Just Sunday morning I sat through a service that included the statement:
“With every eye closed and every head bowed - no one is going to be looking around; raise your hand if ….”
