The Other Elliot Son
Most of us have heard the story of Jim Elliot and the five missionaries who died in Ecuador at the hands of the Auca Indians. That story is Chronicled in the book “Through Gates of Splendor.” A great story that has inspired thousands. Until I saw this talk by Randy Alcorn, which comes from the Desiring God Conference “Stand” I never knew the story of his brother. Bert Elliott has been in Peru since before Jim Elliot went to the mission field. He and his wife stayed there until past their eighties. What kind of work did he do? watch this video to find out and be inspired!
this second video is contains the interview with some of the people involved in the killing of the missionary, including a man who has become a christian.

“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.”- Hebrews 13:3
Response to "A Common Word" Islamic Document
This is a response by John Piper to a Muslim document calling for unity among Christians and Muslims. Very kind hearted but faithful to the truth.
Seriously Funny!!! Rhett and Link
There is a lotta stuff out there that is not worth your time. It is only mildly funny. However, these guys “Rhett and Link” are truly funny. They are gifted, can sing, and are clean to boot! This is one of the best things they have. It is a song about rednecks and fireworks. You will probably want to go to their site and browse around…..really funny!
Pachelbel Bedtime Song…
This is funny and pure genious. Very funny especially if you are a parent.
Canon in D will never be the same!
Notice that there is a new version of this video which has the ad for his CD. This song is so good that I knew eventually it would be sold.
Greg Bahnsen is Now on YouTube!!!
Though dead, yet he speaks! Some of his stuff is now available on Youtube for the world to see.
If you like rigorous thinking applied to Christianity and a critical analysis the unbleliever’s view of the world you will certainly benefit from his material.
He has lots of lectures available. I have enjoyed the debates, and his apologetics lectures. Here are some things I have learned:
- That the Christan faith is not only rationally defensible, it is the foundation of rationality.
- That unbeliever’s have plenty of faith assumptions that they cannot prove. They are often dishonest about this. Christians are also often guilty of intellectual dishonesty and it is our job to think clearly according to scripture.
- That we have nothing to fear from the truth. God is the author of all truth and will vindicate himself.
- There is a difference between proof and persuasion. You may present a sound argument for some position that is both valid and true. However, that does not mean that everyone is going to cry uncle. The heart is involved, not raw intellect.
- Jesus is the source of all wisdom and knowledge.
