I have canceled the proposed debate in California with Steve Gregg on Calvinism. We will do a series of programs instead. Here is a discussion of the developments that led to this decision. And, I noted this response to Gregg in my comments.
J.P. Holding’s article on unconditional election is, at the very least, an interesting read. But for one who finds exegetical clarity and consistency the greatest driving factor in evaluating someone’s position, the article falls far short. Now let me say immediately that I know very little of Mr. Holding, and this article is intended to be completely non-personal. The gentleman
Started off with a discussion of President Obama’s recent actions promoting ungodliness in the land, then discussed the recent WHO guidelines demonstrating that homosexuality is unnatural and devastating to human flourishing. Discussed briefly the upcoming preaching by Ergun Caner at First Baptist Woodstock, and gave some guidelines to anyone who will be attending. Then we moved on to talk about
Ninety minutes today (with a few interruptions by a WILD line of thunderstorms that blew in on us) finishing up our response to David Allen’s three blog posts (one 11k long article) on Romans 8:31-34. More in-depth exegesis along with theology. Enjoy!

A little over 90 minutes today looking at Beth Moore’s article released over the weekend first, then moving on to Tim Staples sounding very much like our synergistic friends in his argumentation. Then we looked at the cooperation of some (to me) local Reformed Baptists with Steven Anderson and how odd that is, took two phone calls (one on spiritual
Started off looking at JD Greear’s blog article, which reflected pretty much what he had said in a sermon back during the winter, regarding homosexuality. Then looked at a tweet from Jonathan Merritt, replied to by Brian Zahnd, on the accusation of “idolatry of the family.” Then we moved on to play a portion of a video from Mike Licona
Did a Radio Free Geneva today reviewing this video by Bob Wilkins on Calvinists and assurance. Since he mentioned me by name, seemed appropriate to revisit this important issue. Here is the YouTube link:
