The Elephant in the Roomby Voddie Baucham This past week a firestorm erupted over the recent “Elephant Room 2.” The controversy centers around the decision to invite Bishop T.D.

The Reformed View of Justification

2012-01-31T16:43:00.000-05:00

By Wes White Johannes Weslianus This is an excellent statement of the Reformed doctrine of justification by John Girardeau from his book Calvinism and Evangelical Arminianism. All emphases are mine. The Calvinistic doctrine may be stated under three heads: first, the Ground of justification; secondly, its Constituent Elements, or Nature; thirdly, its human Condition or Instrument. The Ground

While many in the media praise the Enlightenment, it resulted in the bloody French Revolution. As Benjamin F.

Ron Paul and Messianic Small Government

2012-01-23T21:15:00.002-05:00

Embracing small government while still rejecting Christ's lordship is every bit as "Messianic" as embracing big government while rejecting Christ's lordship; both seek political salvation in princes rather than in the name of the Lord. "The zeal of facebook Christians to abandon biblical principles of voting and statecraft in order to justify voting for Ron Paul tells us something: you do
