Reformation21

More chronicles from my just-finished trip to Uganda. During our layover in London, our little group attended the evensong service at Westminster Abbey. We wanted to worship, since it was the Lord's Day, and our flight schedule did not permit attendance at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Westminster...

"I charge my readers to remember this. Stand fast on old principles. Do not forsake the old paths. Let nothing tempt you to believe that multiplication of forms and ceremonies, constant reading of liturgical services, or frequent communions, will ever do so much good to souls as the powerful, fiery...

The new edition of Ref21 has been up a day or so, and I thought I'd draw your attention to Trueman taking the middle ground! Intrigued? Go here .

My wife and I went to see the Wilberforce movie last (it had all the feel of a Baptist Prayer Meeting inside the theater with folks wearing suits and ties and the average age, well, my age!). It was hugely enjoyable, even if I got the distinct impression that for Hollywood to make this even...

Listening to Janis Joplin the other day, I was struck by two things. First, my eleven year old son (who had never, to my knowledge, heard Joplin) commented as he heard the first bars of `Me and Bobby McGee' that he didn't know I had a Joplin album. To recognise the voice like that at 11 must make...
