Free Grace – You Get What You Pay For

I serve on the North Central District’s Council for Ministerial Standing. The Grace Evangelical Society came up as a topic of discussion a while back and during our last meeting we talked about whether a pastor who held to the G.E.S. Statement of Faith could be credentialed in the EFCA.
I will be the first to [...]

Some things to look at, laught at, gag at, and think about

While I’m finishing up the post on the Free Grace issue (yes, in one mighty swoop, I will lay to rest all the problems with this issue… and then I woke up from my daydream and saw a blank page in Word in front of me), have a look at some of these:
Together for the [...]

Also forthcoming…

I’ve seen a few posts over the past two days, stemming from Mother’s Day, I guess, that are about our (Christians’) great Mother, the Church. I’ll be blogging about this too. I’m really troubled by this since there is really no Scriptural warrant for it (and no, the passage in Revelation 12.1-4 doesn’t count).
Fascinating, when [...]

Spoof again… and a warning

Tominthebox has done it again. I nearly spit coffee all over the place with his post today.
I also want to “warn” any who read this blog that I’m going to put the finishing touches on a post about Free Grace vs. Lordship Salvation. It’s a matter for discussion on a council I sit on and [...]

Yes, it’s a spoof… but a really, really good one!

    2.  The things which he parodies sound so real they might actually be real… who knows? anyone Googled this stuff?

Life With True Purpose – God’s

The words were said, the prayers offered, memories shared and it was time to leave. Short. Simple. I had to trust that it ministered to the few standing there.
Julie was unaware of the impact her life had made. That might be said of many of us, but it was literally true for Julie. She’d been [...]

Who Do You Say That I Am?

My great-grandfather was waiting in a long line of cotton wagons in far northern Texas. Upon realizing that the line would not get completed in the emptying process, he spoke with the driver nearest him, “Hey, would you like to hitch our wagons together, and come home to my place for dinner?” The stranger thanked [...]

I’ve been tagged

I don’t think I’ve ever been tagged before and I’m not really quite sure how it works, but Erica’s tagged me. Now I have to think of eight random things about myself as well as eight people who wouldn’t mind being tagged by me!!
Here are the eight random things about myself:

An Angry Calvinist

Shortly after I discovered the doctrines of grace, I began preaching from the book of Ephesians. I soaked myself in the Greek and then in Martyn Lloyd-Jones. From the pulpit, I longed to make sure people knew full well what the Scriptures really and truly said. But as I look back on that time at [...]
