A few Catholic oriented items here at IM, freely borrowing from other blogs. I’m going to surprise a lot of you with an interview post with Catholic blogger Bryan Cross, writer at Principium Unitatis.

A Theological Announcement….Sort of
UPDATE: Just banned a commenter. The admonition to “stop wasting my time” and “leave the SBC” was unacceptable. New commenters- read FAQ section 10 please. For the past two years, I’ve been trying to get a single question answered: What are the actual historical evidences, before Zwingli, for the Baptist view of the Lord’s Supper?Continue reading “A Theological Announcement….Sort of”
The Devil’s Sermon
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. Jesus is the constant mediator.Continue reading “The Devil’s Sermon”
Looking For Luther
UPDATE: A great intro to Luther is “Luther for Armchair Theologians” written by Steven Paulson, a speaker at the recent Mockingbird Conference. Also, New Reformation Press has lots of Lutheran theology resources at 10% off right now. Apparently, by the email count, I’ve said something right. Earlier in the day, Blue Raja and I hadContinue reading “Looking For Luther”
The Law/Gospel Rant
NOTE: Despite the fact that this post is law, you should still read it 🙂 I want to talk about a specific problem in preaching and teaching: the problem of preferring law over Gospel. I consider the primary problem with preaching and teaching in my Southern Baptist tradition these days to be an obsession withContinue reading “The Law/Gospel Rant”
Is There A Place To Repent? (Or Must I Make This Journey Alone?)
6: 9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—noneContinue reading “Is There A Place To Repent?

God Isn’t Gamey: My New Hot Button
I’ve got a new hot button. I experienced it this week and I think it’s best to warn the general public that until I make some progress in sanctification, pushing this button could result in an ugly scene. (Before I say this, I know there are a bunch of books on this subject and I’veContinue reading “God Isn’t Gamey: My New Hot Button”
Riffs: 06:29:09: Timmy Brister on the Beauty of Church Discipline and the Pastoral Faithfulness of Tom Ascol.
Riffs are commentary on other blog posts that Michael feels are particularly significant. Read Tim Brister’s post, Where Extraordinary Grace and Celestial Joy Meet. I’ve been around Tom Ascol on occasion for more than 20 years. If you know much about the (dreaded) Founder’s movement, then you know everything I am about to say here,Continue reading “Riffs: 06:29:09: Timmy Brister on the Beauty of Church Discipline and the Pastoral Faithfulness of Tom Ascol.”
Riffs: 06:15:09: Dr. Peter Masters Rips The New Calvinism
Read: The Merger of Calvinism With Worldliness by Peter Masters. The current reformed and Calvinist revival loves Spurgeon, as well they should. It’s a regular feature of the most influential new-Calvinism web sites and ministries to quote Spurgeon for and against whatever the issue of the week happens to be. Spurgeon’s face is as muchContinue reading “Riffs: 06:15:09: Dr. Peter Masters Rips The New Calvinism”
