1 | Hi Joe!! | Proverbs | Jeshuafreak | 53052 | ||
Hi Joe!!- By the way I did some more research on that site **http://withchrist.org/center.htm*** WithChrist .ORG-- They check out as far as I am concerned. They agree with my philosophy as far as being a good Berean. This is what they wrote in their About Us section.*** Thank you for your interest. Similar to the Apostle Paul, we are employed full-time as well as joyfully serve in this ministry designed to provide spiritual growth to members of His Body. The heart of our modest ministry is personal email correspondence with believers who are hungry to grow in their spiritual life and service. We seek to guide believers into study that is suited to their unique situations, seeing that they become "established in grace" and on their own with the Lord as soon as possible (2 Peter 3:18). Our goal is to stay quietly in touch with the Lord, being prepared by Him to share with those who reach out in need. Thus each learns to depend upon Him, and never us. Consequently, our expectation is for correspondents to eagerly study the Word of God (66 books of the Bible) as well as recommended Christian literature--understanding that the goal is to anchor in truth and more fully know the Lord Jesus Christ. While our ministry does include observations both sociological and psychological, our primary focus is theological and doctrinal truth. We view Scripture within a moderate Calvinistic, Pauline dispensational framework. Our material is not presented from the viewpoint of scholars, but rather that of folks who enjoy passionate thinking. We believe that the content of a person's beliefs, over time, affect all realms of life--or, "ideas have consequences." "For as he thinks in his heart [mind], so is he" Proverbs 23:7. ****** JOE!! please let me know if you find anything heretical about them that I overlooked...I was a little surprised with some of there comments on Religious Humanism. Which I didn't know about before. I found at another site an article on this very thing.... The more I dig into this stuff the more I see how little informed I have been. Am I in a safe church...hmm. That is my big question lately. I am not going to leave my fellowship I believe there are a large number of true Christians there. I want to help the flock by bringing truth to them and testing what I hear. I don't want to abandon them like a sinking ship. I know enough truth to recognize the counterfeit. Though I am still learning and always will be. -Jeshuafreak |

Well, I wouldn't call them heretical. I do disagree with them on certain points of doctrine, and I think that "moderate Calvinism" isn't really Calvinism at all. The review you pointed out didn't sit well with me, simply because there are not a great number of evangelicals today who really have a biblical grasp on God's holiness and what it truly means to fear the Lord, and Bridges happens to be one of those few who do. His work is very good and very honoring to Christ. And in their review, the folks on that Web site basically wrote, "He is a covenant theologian [just like many other men of God] and he holds that sanctification involves Christian discipline [which it does]. Therefore, stay away." The review just wasn't that substantive at all, so I wouldn;t really call that a review of his book, but rather a critcism of the man, who incidentally is an incredibly kind and soft-spoken gentleman (unlike me far too often). Tell you what: email me your address and I will send you copy of his book. It would be a blessing for me to share with you his insights into the holiness of our great God. Really, it would be a pleasure, so let me do that for you. Consider it my wedding present to you and your bride-to-be! --Joe! |
