Being single over Christmas,,,,

December 19, 2005

Solo Femininity has helpful words which she writes as a single facing the holiday season alone: “When you have a hope deferred, the holidays can be a bittersweet time. Unbidden emotions–grief, confusion, self-pity, sadness–can suddenly wash over you without warning. The holiday season can be like a landmark in time–’wasn’t I here in exactly the [...]

Anti-ESV Politicking

December 19, 2005

Parableman has an interesting post about the way ESV and TNIV advocates tend to talk past each other without understanding. Essentially these two translations differ because their aim is different. The TNIV aims to translate the sense or meaning of the bible into todays languange, whilst the ESV aims to translate the actual form or [...]

Are we living in the days after the last days?

December 16, 2005

Mark L makes some great points out of Peters use of Joel. I think that these passages are indeed fatal to any real cessationist view. For Joel is clear that “all flesh” will receive the Holy Spirit and prophecy in the last days. Peter is clear that he is living in the good of that [...]

Thoughts on Narnia

December 16, 2005

I have just one thing to say to conservative christians who criticise the Narnia film for teaching an alternative theory of the atonement – ITS A STORY, NOT A SEMINARY CLASS We have watched it, and I didnt think about the nuances of the atonement once! The story is a great fantasy story which happens [...]

Grudem on the charismatic part 2

December 15, 2005

Challies Dot Com has the second part of his interview with Wayne Grudem who believes that moderate charismatics will prevail: “What happens is over time the vast majority of God’s people come to the right decision. Then, like the Arians in the fourth century, or like the anti-inerrantist people in our lifetime, the people on [...]

Challies interviews Dr. Wayne Grudem on charismatic gifts

December 14, 2005

Challies has published his Dr. Wayne Grudem interview I will just quote one extract for now to encourage you to go read the rest: I think we have in the twentieth century a historical aberration not essential to Reformed theology that cessationism has become the dominant view.

The Humility Zone

December 14, 2005

The internetmonk has been thinking about the fact that people do come to very different conclusions about some issues. I would love to see more gentleness when we discuss theological issues on our blogs – anyone who ever feels that I am not being sufficiently gentle hereby has the right to send me an email [...]

Spurgeon on predestination and free will

December 12, 2005

Thanks Pyromaniac for todays dose of Spurgeon wisdom O for a restoration of preaching like this: The system of truth is not one straight line, but two. No man will ever get a right view of the gospel until he knows how to look at the two lines at once. I am taught in one [...]

Preparing a Sermon (with John Stott and Josh Harris)

December 11, 2005

Josh Harris has a great post on sermon preparation: “Call the congregation to act! Our expectation as the sermon comes to an end, is not merely that people will understand or remember or enjoy our teaching, but that they will do something about it. If there is no summons, there is no sermon! The precise [...]

Al Mohler gives Narnia the thumbs up!

December 10, 2005

Aslan Is On the Move on Film says Al: Like many admirers of Lewis’ work, I harbored deep suspicions that the movie would not be faithful to the book. After all, the movie world has robbed and pillaged many of history’s greatest works of literature. Furthermore, given the unmistakable Christian allusions in Lewis’ work, The [...]

Healing the charismatic rift?

December 9, 2005

Many many thanks to Justin Taylor who in a private email pointed me to an article by Vern Sheridan Poythress. Although bizzarely titled “Modern Spiritual Gifts as Analogous to Apostolic Gifts: Affirming Extraordinary Works of the Spirit within Cessationist Theology” I found next to nothing in this article that I disagreed with. If this article [...]

The challenge remains out there: show me a single bible verse or passage that supports cessationism

December 8, 2005

Tim Challies in my comments section was outraged at my claim that cessationism does not rest on a single verse of scripture. I am sorry to be quite so provokative but in however many weeks of asking in public on my blog, not ONE blogger that I am aware of has been able to offer [...]
