Is your tablet/iPad replacing your Bible in the Pulpit and at church.

The people at The Gospel Coalition (don't get me wrong, there are some nice folks there, but sometime they come up with the most amusing things!) are bringing this issue to the forefront.

How many of you have fallen into the "sin" of not taking your bible to the pulpit, but your tablet/iPad? Matthew Barret, one of the folks over that TGC, has blogged how this may be a detriment to our churches today.

Michael Bird, from Ridley College, has answered with a bit of sarcasm, but facing the fact that the introduction of any theology into the church, causes bad taste and rejection.

From a personal view, is like those churches that don't allow any musical instruments at their service, yet preach with iPads, or have the latest types of sitting at church.

Enjoy the readings.

The death of C. K. Barret


For those who have ever read the good little book by C. K. Barret, The Signs of an Apostle, they can appreciate this man's scholarship. This book has helped me greatly in today's discussion about apostles.

Well, this servant of the Lord passed away on August 26 of this year. I would just like to pay tribute to this man, who although I never met, taught me so much about a subject which is so important to all of us today.

May he rest in peace.
