Tablet ignites debate on messiah and resurrection

Just in case you didn't dismiss this newest flavor of "junk about Jesus," here are a couple good discussions about the stone tablet pre-dating Jesus that (gasp!) may (or may not) predict a messiah that dies and rises in three days.

Only the secular media could believe that this could "Shake the foundations of Christianity."

Sense of Events: Jesus' resurrection rebutted! Let the pile-on begin!

Having Issues, etc. back

... is like sitting down for coffee with old friends for a brilliant, stimulating conversation about theology.

Especially when the guest is an old friend.

I recommend listening to the conversation with Dr. Carl Fickenscher.

I also recommend subscribing to the podcast via iTunes or whatever other means you use.

Sermon Podcast June 29, 2008

A rare sermon for me -- one with a reasonably good sermon illustration:

The topic is Being killed by the law, buried in baptism, to rise in Christ.

Addressed along the way: why self-help and sanctification cannot help those who have not first been justified.
