In the interests of full disclosure, I must expand the information given in InsideOut # 49 (“New ‘Progressive Christianity’: an Old Liberal Swindle”) The Emergent Village and “progressive” Christian liberalism are but a drop in the progressive bucket. To their left, “cultural creatives” or “new progressives” are brimming over with an optimistic vision for taking […]
31: Geneva, Then and Now: Post Tenebras Lux
Last week, we received news of two striking cases of senseless murder. Like you, we listened in horror to the dull, rhythmic shots that systematically quenched the lives of 32 college students and professors in quiet Blacksburg, VA. Then we received news from a Turkish graduate of Westminster Seminary California. Three of his Christian friends […]
30: Losing our Voice, Losing our Mind
“This gentleman writes about neo–paganism,” gushed the secretary, pointing in my direction. “What’s that?” asked the cute prospective student who that day happened to be visiting the seminary where I work. Her question made me think. I have thought that the religious tsunami of neo–paganism was perfectly obvious to everyone, but it is not even […]
21 and 22: Ministry Update
On the eve of a New Year, I’ve received a new knee. My decision to proceed with this daunting and very painful operation &mdash total arthroplasty &mdash was prompted by a desire to be ready for what I believe will be the most exciting year ever that the Lord has prepared for truthXchange. Here are […]
08: A Not–So–Vast Left Wing Conspiracy and the Selling of Homosexualism
What will this year 2004 bring? Readers of Newswcipp will not expect here some kind of up–beat prediction of the return of the good times.

(Audio Lecture) Identity from Within or from the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | April 17, 2020Dr. Butterfield gives a brilliant analysis of how Christ delivers people caught in the practice of homosexuality, by putting to death the works of the flesh, including the attempt falsely to justify “celibate” homosexual desire as pleasing to God, and by embracing God’s creational truth for his glory and our good. The culture’s definition of […]
Shifting Sands
by Dr. Peter Jones | April 10, 2020“Lord, what are you saying during this crisis?” That is the question on every Christian’s mind. The mighty, miniscule virus is slaying thousands every day. On March 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the US might see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths before the crisis fades.[1] Christians must yet remain calm, asking God to give us […]
An Elephant Called Fear
by Rebecca Jones | April 8, 2020But if we are to chase the elephant of fear out of our churches, we must allow God to face it down through the power of his love. “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of love, of power, and of a strong mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). If we are to face down the elephant of fear, we must do it by absorbing God’s forgiveness. “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment” (1 John 4:18).
Spirituality: Mindfulness or the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | March 23, 2020Mrs. Pamela Frost gives a most useful and dense comparative contrast between pagan “Mindfulness” and “the Mind of Christ,” showing clearly how the Mind of Christ distinguishes between the Creator and creation, while Mindfulness blurs distinctions and leads people into the pagan lie of “nonduality.” Eastern spiritualties work against having our minds set on Christ. The […]
