Below I have produced the notes I used in doing the Dividing Line Webcasts responding to Dr. Geisler’s added appendix on The Potter’s Freedom (these programs aired 8/11, 8/18, and 8/25/01. This is not my “published” reply to Dr. Geisler.  That is found at here.  These are simply the rough notes I used.  I expanded on some points in my written

I had not heard even a whisper about the inclusion of an appendix (now the 13th appendix in the book) in a new edition of Dr. Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free.  Thankfully, a kind brother in Indianapolis e-mailed me and informed me of the appendix, assuming, however, that I had already seen it.  I had not.  I immediately requested, and

Christians are unpopular folks today. I mean by that, anyone who takes seriously biblical truth and biblical principles will find himself on the sharp end of angry stares if we dare speak the truth in the midst of today’s national crisis. To what do I refer? America has all of the sudden gotten very religious.  There are vigils and candlelight

Lutheran scholar R.C.H. Lenski wrote a series of New Testament commentaries that are still in circulation today.  His strongly anti-Reformed stance comes through clearly in his writings.  Recently his view of Romans 9 has been promoted widely, so I felt it proper to provide some thoughts on Lenski’s position in

Some time ago I was presented with an article, “Calvin’s Error of Limited Atonement” by Dr. D.A.Waite, and subsequently began working on a joint response with another member from Alpha and Omega Ministries. The article seeks to attack Limited Atonement as affirmed by historic Calvinism. It was my desire to compose a complete response to all the issues raised in

We have been overwhelmed at the response of the reviewers.The many endorsements listed below come from scholars, pastors, and those involved in ministry all across our nation and beyond.  We have arranged the endorsements so that they appear in alphabetical order.  At the end of

UPDATED INFORMATION!  Dan Corner just won’t give up.  In May of 2001 Dan tried to “spin” his refusal to debate me on the real issues with a new Audio offering.  Click here to listen to my response to Mr. Corner as it was aired on the Dividing Line Webcast. A number of months ago I was sent a URL to

The March 26, 1997 issue of The Baptist Standard contains an article titled, “Doctrines Lead to ‘Dunghill’ Prof Warns” (p. 12). The article is a blatant condemnation of the Reformed, or Calvinistic viewpoint on salvation. Dr. Estep laments the current growth in a Calvinistic viewpoint among Southern Baptists, a growth that I have personally done everything in my power to

Much is being said these days about “revival.” The world looks on in amazement as people are “slain in the Spirit” and stuck to the floor with “Holy Ghost Glue.” Then again, I look on in amazement at such things, too. Is this what revival is supposed to be? During the last century Charles Haddon Spurgeon flourished as a minister

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed…but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” So wrote the Apostle Peter to the early Christians (1 Peter 1:18-19). He, as all the other Apostles, believed that we are redeemed, cleansed, forgiven, in the blood of
