This is going to be a bit of a long and personal post and will meander through some personal news, and some reflections on this blog and blogging in general, before eventually getting to the subject of American Independence Day as seen through the eyes of a Brit! So bear with me . . . [...]

The year in review

December 30, 2005

Its that time of the year when we look back, get all misty eyed and think about the year that was. This will probably be a long post, in it I will first reflect on the ridiculously flattering but also rather humbling level of readership that has come this way in 2005, then I will [...]

Evangelicalism RIP – killed by its friends?

July 25, 2005

Blogotional did a great job of bringing together my call for us to learn from any corner we can with pyromaniacs concerns about the decline of the concept of evangelical as in any way useful as a definition. One of the things that Phil and I spoke of minutes before the first london bombers was [...]

Open Theism- just another form of neo-liberalism?

June 5, 2005

Sean does a great job of defining and dispatching open theism in one post. To me this is a great example of what I have been calling neo-liberalism. Remaking God in our own image was never a good idea. I challenge any emergant church or other reader of my blog who holds to that view [...]

UK Evangelical Alliance changes its basis of faith or doctrinal statement : neo-liberals watch out!

March 15, 2005

In the category of things that slip you by, the UK EA last month announced a new basis of faith. Things could get interesting around September time when this becomes active- it seems to me some of these items have been sharpened- I wonder how many people will struggle to affirm 3, 6, and for [...]

Brian Maclaren – a generous neo-liberalism?

February 16, 2005

Albert Mohler: “Even though he would be more appropriately categorized as a “post-evangelical,” McLaren was listed as one of 25 influential evangelicals in the February 7, 2005 edition of TIME magazine. In its profile, TIME referred to a conference last spring at which McLaren was addressed with a question related to gay marriage. “You know [...]

Penal substitution defended against the attacks of neo-liberals

February 10, 2005

Greg Haslam doesnt mince his words- …..the cross worked in several directions at once: man-ward, satanward and God-ward, and of these three its effects on God are the most significant and fundamental (2 Cor 5:19; Heb 9:24; 1 John 2:1-2). Without the perspective of penal substitution, none of the other interpretations can stand or even [...]

The nicest email i’ve had in a LONG time and the Chrisitan carnival

February 2, 2005

Look what arrived in my email today- ——————————————— Hi David & Adrian, I want you both to know how much I enjoy your websites. I think most bloggers forget that there is a real person out there reading their stuff, but you consistently exhibit dignity, decency and courtesy to people you don’t know, and that [...]

Sola scriptura and the wrath of God

January 31, 2005

The World of Sven has clearly wrestled honestly with some of these issues which are starting to divide the online community of “God bloggers”. It is interesting talking to my wife about this. She is very gracious and loving but cannot understand why people who would deny the notion that Jesus died to take away [...]

Be afraid….be very afraid Warnie is back!

January 28, 2005

World of Sven may have been getting fed up with my posting on blogging, but he and the neo-liberals may rue the day he reminded me that I had unfinished business with them! If he thinks that I have forgotten about all that in my latest obsession with organising the Christian blogosphere, he is wrong. [...]

What is a proposition?

January 13, 2005

Someone just emailed me to ask “what does this post On unicorns and propositions actually mean?” Am flattered that they turn to my wisdom but am in a tearing hurry tonight to get away from a PC screen for once. Therefore a free link, much cudos and respect goes to the person who in the [...]

A Christian worldview – more from Nancy Pearcey

January 9, 2005

The book Total Truth is proving very interesting indeed. Her central thesis is quite clearly described and is very well explained. If only the neo-liberals were as good at explaining themselves it would make our task of critquing and responding so much easier. Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural but rather [...]

Attacking the atonement from the other side?

January 7, 2005

Wink over at Parableman seems to be keen to reject the notion of “substitution”. Unlike some neoliberals he does accept that there is a punishment element to the cross. However he emphasises the verses that speak of our union with Christ in his death. Unfortunately attacking the notion of the atonement from this other side [...]
