Jollyblogger is as much a hero to me in the blogdom as C.J.Mahaney is as a preacher! He is much wiser than I am, much more measured in his comments, and brings out the best in me. It is fantastic to have a great conversation going on between two very different schools of Christian thought [...]

Enough with the compliments already……..

May 19, 2004

Mr. Standfast has joined the latest game on the internet, lets see who can compliment Adrian the best! Being in the same sentance as the jollyblogger is almost as good as being in the same sentance as Wayne Grudem.

Adrian blushes but cant resist quoting a complement…….

May 18, 2004

Jollyblogger has done something I never thought I would see- He has put my name and Wayne Grudem’s in the same sentance! “People like Adrian and Bob at Mister Standfast, and Wayne Grudem are examples of the maturity of the modern charismatic movement.” If this sentance is true it is true because of my exposure [...]

All you need is love

May 14, 2004

Patriot Paradox in a throw away comment accuses Western Christians: “We love only ourselves, and embracing God is only for our convenience” What a challenge that is to me personally and to all of us.
