I have received a couple of emails from my post on Roger Olson's frightening words regarding "the God of Calvinism," asking if I was declaring the man to be unsaved. I do want to go on record as saying that was not my meaning. In general, I try to avoid making pronouncements on an individual's...

Given the reputation of Lig Duncan as the evil genius of the PCA, I have been struck recently by his resemblance to an earlier supernatural villain. I wonder if, perchance, they are related. I think Ref21 readers should be told:
In light of recent posts, need I say more? Anyone got Lindsay Lohan's email? I want to sponsor that remake of Gone with the Wind . http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6986727.stm
