Just a quick note before I get some rest. Flew into New Jersey on Friday. Yesterday two of the elders from Trinity Fellowship Church in Tom’s River took me up to visit the Princeton Cemetary, final resting place of Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, and B.B. Warfield. Though it was raining, it was still an enjoyable visit. We could not help
Continued our review of Norman Geisler’s “Why I am Not a Five Point Calvinist” sermon today, but at the beginning we covered another example of the bankruptcy of Roman Catholic apologetics today in the wild-eyed behavior of Matthew Bellisario and others.
Chris Arnzen sent out this very nice graphic, which I think Carla put together, of my upcoming swing out East, so I am shamelessly swiping it! Of course, that means I’m providing Chris with free advertising, but that’s OK! He has to put up with me being his taxi driver for a few days next week, so it is a
We began with a Jerusalem Jones update, listening to Steve Ray once again misrepresent his former faith. This time, though, we provided appropriate intro music! Then we continued listening to Norm Geisler’s “Why I’m Not a Five Point Calvinist” sermon, noting the regular equivocation in his arguments against the Reformed position.
And therefore it must needs be, that a sight of God’s loveliness must begin here. A true love to God must begin with a delight in his holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this, and no otherwise than as (according to our way of conceiving of God) it
I have an odd request to make of our readers. I would imagine there are some who follow this blog who know what I mean when I speak of using Unicode as the new standard for Greek fonts in typesetting. And I would imagine a few know that you can’t just switch over from older, proprietary fonts, to Unicode. It
Since Rich is out of town we won’t be posting the programs until he gets back. Please direct all outraged e-mails to Rich. 🙂 We did do the program, though, live, and covered Dr. Craig’s lecture on the “Problem of Evil” delivered at Cambridge a few years ago. You should be able to hear it…next Monday or Tuesday, if you
I just received notice that a debate will be held on June 23rd, 6pm in the Durban City Hall in South Africa between John Gilchrist and Shabir Ally. I look forward to the recordings! I will be most interested in listening! It is being sponsored by the Islamic Propagation Center, Ahmed Deedat’s organization. I confess I find it a little
The mp4’s of the University of Illinois debate with Dan Barker are being processed, and I was sent a short, 36 second clip or so. I share it here.
We have finalized plans for my trip to New Jersey and New York, June 20th through the 29th. I will be speaking twelve times at eight different churches, including the dialogue with Imam Shamsi Ali. I should note that I will also be using my new digital projector, provided by one of God’s folks out there from the Ministry Resource
I managed to just find enough time to put together a number of clips from the Biola debate a few months ago between William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens. Once again, as I explained at the beginning of the program, I have been focusing on this because very few understand the underlying reasons why there is such a major difference
I’m behind on the news, I guess, but just read this comment from President Obama: Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam. And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims
Dr. Tommy Wasserman just posted this on the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog: I am almost too depressed to blog this, but today came an evaluation from the national board of higher education in Sweden (Högskoleverket) who practically announced a frontal assault on theological education in our country. Many institutions (including the three free standing seminaries, and even some of the
I went back to listen to the rest of Dr. Craig’s comments on Roman Catholicism at the start of the show. Then we took a call from Patrick who informed me that Craig had answered a question from Hitchens in their debate by pointing to Calvinism as a false teaching. Since I knew “Good Ol’ Beau” in California had sent

Though the file is up, evidently, I’m the only one who can post the DL announcements, and since I left right after the program, and then flew up to Salt Lake, no one posted the DL from last Thursday. My apologies, we really need to get some other folks who can do this so that it doesn’t fall through the
When I went up to Salt Lake this past weekend I had the opportunity of recording an episode of The Ancient Paths television show, sponsored by the Orthodox Presbyterian Church there in Salt Lake (Christ Presbyterian Church). Though it will air tonight, the episode has already been posted. It is about 57 minutes in length, so be aware of that,
I remember when I first heard Dave Hunt say it. I think it was while he was speaking at a Calvary Chapel somewhere in a Hawaiian shirt and a jacket (oddest combination I’ve ever seen). Hunt insisted that nowhere in the Bible do we ever see anyone elected, predestined, chosen unto salvation, but only unto service and blessing. I was
Tomorrow I will be doing an initial test of the live streaming pc. I will be streaming my two presentations at the Compassionate Boldness Conference here in Salt Lake City. The first session will be at 9am MDT (11am EDT), and the second will be at 12:30pm MDT (2:30pm EDT). I will be feeding directly to our regular Dividing Line
I was on Iron Sharpens Iron today, discussing Mormonism prior to heading for Salt Lake and the Compassionate Boldness conference which begins tomorrow evening. Lo and behold who calls but Alma Allred. If such things as blogs had existed back in the 80s, mine would have had a lot about Alma on it. The long, long letters we exchanged were
I will be joining Chris Arnzen and David Wood on Iron Sharpens Iron today, 3pm EDT, and then Chris alone on the topic of Mormonism tomorrow as well. More information here. Listen in!
I know, I know, the file is not uploaded as yet. It will be. Patience. Here is a 9 minute clip from the beginning of the program.
