Unrelated but Note-worthy
1. Since I have been vocal when I disagree with him, let me commend Mark Jones’ most recent blog post here at Ref21 as good medicine. I’ll resume the merciless beatings of P&R theology at some point in the future;…

Are you Evil and Pernicious?
“FOR TO THIS YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED, BECAUSE CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED FOR YOU, LEAVING YOU AN EXAMPLE, SO THAT YOU MIGHT FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.” –1 PETER 2:21 In the broader Reformed world there are some who seem to have…
Why Abraham Was Right: A Reply to Rachel Held Evans
It is grievous to see how brazen the progressive evangelical movement has become in assailing not merely the inerrantist view of Scripture but now even Scripture itself. The most recent installment comes from Rachel Held Evans in a post titled,…
