Easter 2012: He Lives
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 8th at 06:00 AM |
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and | Read More »
In The Grave
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 7th at 04:45 AM |
H/t to Ben Domenech for this excellent quote: “In perfect freedom, the Son become the goat become the Lamb of God is condemned by the lie in order to bear witness to the truth. The truth is that we are incapable of setting things right. The truth is that the more we try to set things right, the more we compound our guilt. It is | Read More »
On Faith This Good Friday
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 6th at 11:00 AM |
There have been a number of times throughout my life that I have encountered God’s blessings, his mercy, and his discipline. When I was little, I sat in my grandmother’s lap hearing stories of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. When I was a teenager, I could see God working in my life. When I was in college, I could feel his call. When I got | Read More »
The Perversion of the Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ by the Sinner Barack H. Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 5th at 02:04 AM |
I’m afraid we need a little Sunday morning theology. Hopefully someone at the White House will read this and realize just how ill advised the President was to do what he did this week and we should be praying hard for him to see the error of his ways on this. In the Bible we read these things: “And God blessed them. And God said | Read More »
Paul Ryan is Not Jesus, But His Path To Prosperity Gospel is Really Good
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 5th at 04:47 AM |
Today you are going to hear a lot about Paul Ryan and his budget deal. He has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal previewing it. You can read that here. The budget proposal is a solid proposal of solid reform. I like what I see. But I also foresee real problems with it as a result. Let me first say the number you are | Read More »
What’s Missing
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | January 11th at 02:28 PM |
“Whether you believe it or not, here is the reality: beyond us is a world we cannot see with our eyes — a world of very real angels and very real demons, of a very real God and a very real devil. ” I am tired of talking about the Arizona shooting. The left has done its best to try to pin it on the | Read More »
Biden Uses the Lord’s Name in an Interview
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 25th at 10:04 PM |
I’m quite positive there have been Presidents and Vice Presidents to use Jesus Christ’s name as a swear word. I’m also quite sure Joe Biden is the first one to use the Lord’s name as a swear word in an interview. Can you imagine the uproar that would ensue if the Vice President of the United States used the name of Islam’s supreme being as | Read More »
Obama’s House Built on Rocks Will Fail
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 14th at 01:23 PM |
Today Barack Obama took to the New Testament when talking about the bleak economic outlook his policies are helping create. Obama said, “There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells the story of two men. The first built his house on a pile of sand, and it was soon destroyed when the storm hit. But the second is | Read More »
For Your Own Sake, Stop the Jesus to Obama Comparisons
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 13th at 02:46 PM |
Being a partisan, I want to win this election. And I think you lefties have come upon a winning strategy to help us do it. The whole “Jesus is to Obama as Pontius Pilate is to Sarah Palin” analogy will do nothing but inflame the senses of the evangelical community, others who recognize the offensiveness of the statement, and the edge of voters needed to | Read More »
