[Guest: Nathan Busenitz] Ten days ago, a notable and large group of Evangelical leaders released "An Evangelical Manifesto: A Declaration of Evangelical Identity and Public Commitment." What is this Manifesto all about? Why is it being released now? What is there to discern in the document positively and/or negatively for Christians? And finally, what now seems to be the highest virtue in modern Evangelicalism? Nathan Busenitz, Associate Pastor of Grace Community Church, author, frequent writer on Pulpit Magazine, and personal assistant to John MacArthur will join me to provide some clarity and answers. ]]> http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000711 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000711 Tue, 20 May 2008 13:41:51 -0700 May 2008 Summit Journal Posted Online http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000712 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000712 Thu, 15 May 2008 16:54:14 -0700 CrossExamined Instructor Academy I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist.

Part One compares the basic worldviews, Part Two contrasts (and seeks to defend) the biblical worldview with the others, and Part Three constructs a biblical worldview in four key areas. This book is an overview; the Christian thinker is invited to continue his or her study through the recommended readings at the end of each chapter—an ongoing task Paul labels the “renewing” of our minds (Romans 12:2).]]> http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000677 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000677 Thu, 08 May 2008 09:35:17 -0700 New Lecture from the Summit Lecture Series The Problem of Pain If God is good and all-powerful, why is there pain and suffering in the world? Does God want His people to be filled with joy? Bauman speaks on author C.S. Lewis' beliefs of pain and suffering. He further describes how the goodness, power and love of God is often displayed in the suffering of His people.]]> http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000656 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000656 Tue, 06 May 2008 16:50:14 -0700 New Episode of The Christian Worldview The Neglected Skill of Expository Preaching [Guest: Pastor Steven Lawson] It's a good thing there are still men in the pulpit like Pastor Steven Lawson, one of this country's most well-known expositors of Scripture and author of many books, including The Expository Genius of John Calvin. Considered the "clean up hitter" at Pastor John MacArthur's Shepherds' Conference, Lawson brings an old school, Reformation-era preaching style and method to the pulpit that is not soon forgotten. Pastor Lawson joins me on the program on Saturday to define what expository preaching is, how Christ and the disciples modeled it, and why those entrusted with leadership of the flock need to get back to it.]]> http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000645 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000645 Sat, 03 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700 New President's Desk Article Et tu, Brute?

"Et tu, Brute?" Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to death and recognizing his friend Brutus among the assassins. The most famous three words in literature (Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, III, 1, 77) streak down through the centuries as the ultimate betrayal by one's closest friend.

Ben Stein's film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed has broken through the steel ceiling around Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Colorado Springs Gazette (April 18, 2008) devoted nearly a page to the discussion of Intelligent Design (ID). One article by an agnostic actually supported ID being discussed in science classrooms; another article by an atheist disagreed, saying ID has no place in science classrooms, but could be discussed as a mental disorder in psychology classes. Insisting that ID is pseudoscience, not science, the atheist says, "Science produces testable guesses. If something isn't testable, it's not scientific."

[Guest Cal Beisner] Alleged concern for an allegedly human-caused deteriorating environment that will allegedly cause catastrophic disease, hunger, and conflict around the world has become the unifying issue de force in politics, business, education, media, and religion. Mainstreamed by Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", Gore has said "Jump," and we're responding, "How far?" "How far" indeed? Evangelical leaders are urging Christians, in statements like the Evangelical Climate Initiative, to join the fight against climate change, or as they like to phrase the movement, "creation care." "After all," they say, "God wants us to be good stewards of His creation." Yes, the world and the church have gone head-over-heels for environmentalism. The question is, should Christians be going with them, and if so, to what extent and at what expense? ]]> http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000594 http://www.summit.org/community/new/#000594 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:00:00 -0700 New President's Desk Article Rev. Dr. Newdow Versus Dr. Leland

On April 23, 2008, a debate between Michael Newdow and Chris Leland was held at the Focus on the Family campus. The content of the debate was whether or not the American Pledge of Allegiance and its phrase "One Nation Under God" along with "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency violates the U.S. Constitution.
