Who cares where I found it, it’s sad to realize this needs to be said….several times. Spurgeon is not, however, the final arbiter between orthodoxy and what some imagine to be “heresy.” Neither he, nor his preaching, is infallible. Preachers are the servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God – not theContinue reading “Riffs 10:29:06: Unfortunately, this needs to be said…”

FURTHER UPDATE: Piper and Driscoll exchange emails and affirmations. Next Week, Van Till will ask, “Was it a roaring debate, or a barking debate?” and I’ll consider finding something else to do with all my free time. Challies liveblogs/summarizes Mark Driscoll from the DG National Conference. His comments on the incarnation are unfortunate, to sayContinue reading “Riffs: Driscoll on the Incarnation; Slice’s Perfect Pharisaism”

UPDATE: Apparently I was supposed to know that James Allison was gay when I wrote this post. I didn’t. Sorry.

So if you’ve been unduly influenced by my liberal rantings to love, pray for and appreciate your brothers and sisters still holding out in the mainlines, go get yourself vacuumed out real good at Phil’sContinue reading “Riffs: Remember the Faithful Remnant, Mr. Driscoll”

I once had a young reformed Baptist pastor and his wife over to our home for dinner. We had mutual friends and I wanted to be ableContinue reading “Riffs: JMarkBertrand: Diss Isn’t Discernment”

Without a doubt, there are no words to describe the working over Tom Merton is getting at the hands of the TR watchbloggers. Apparently, Merton is a candidate for the antiChrist and the source of all that’s wrong in evangelicalism. Pretty good for a guy who died by getting tangled up with a fan inContinue reading “Riffs: 7:21:06”

<img id="image571" src="https://internetmonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/riffs.jpg&quot; alt="riffs.jpg" If David Wayne keeps writing like this, I can just link my “Christian Humanism” category right to him. It’s interesting to me that He is reacting to Piper-esque language a bit, just as I did in my original posts on that topic. I think the incarnation is long overdue to beContinue reading “Riffs: 7:17:06”
