I thought this might be a good suggestion for the week with the continuous talk of Calvinism and Hyper-Calvinism, etc. This is a revised and updated version of this book written in 1985.
Description: Confused about the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism? Tired of uneducated clergy and layman confusing “classical Calvinism” with the error of hyper-Calvinism? Would you like to know how to answer the false Arminian charges often brought up in a discussion like “Calvinism makes God the author of sin?” or “Why evangelize?”

The much awaited book by both Roman Catholics and Protestants is here. It is none other than former President of the Evangelical Theological Society, Dr. Francis J. Beckwith’s new book Return to Rome: Confessions of an Evangelical Catholic.
Quite the title, huh? This is the reason this book will appeal to both Catholics and Protestants. We all want to see, “What happened?” Most likely, Catholics will want to see what they can learn from Beckwith’s journey that will help them evangelize Romanize Protestants. We Protestants will want to know how to keep such a “return” from happening and address any misunderstandings.

He reads Paul in his context?
On Buddhist salvation, the Buddhist will get to heaven “probably faster than I will.”
How about an atheist? Just watch.
Not sure what it’s worth…

Below is a song that is full of biblical theology. Is it a hymn? What kind of song do you think it is? I recently got the current album of this musician from iTunes.
Can you guess where lyrics below come from?

I was recently left a very cavalier comment by a pastor. You may read it here. I will leave the comment for now although I don’t really want to clutter that particular page with such exchange. So I will reproduce the comment here with some interaction. I will try not to trade insult for insult though my wife was none to happy about the comment.
I do not like the cavalier way you approach the Bible and Christian issues.
I am Dawson Morrison Pastor of Mountain Home Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
People like you run around collecting up unholy dust and muses of the devil; you will find a host of friends as you continue down that path of relevance, but you will find no consolation from heavenly host.

There seems to be some disagreement between FOX News FOX Forum contributors Cal Thomas and Father Jonathan Morris. The disagreement stems from the recent Pew Forum report on Religion and Public Life. The disagreement is over the position which came out in the Pew Forum report as follows:
Most Americans agree with the statement that many religions - not just their own - can lead to eternal life.
Cal Thomas was upset, and rightly so, that the majority of conservative evangelical Christians believe this statement. Jonathan Morris responded to Thomas and he, wrongly, doesn’t agree. Morris is more in tune with the survey claiming that “followers of non-Christians religions” may find “within their own traditions a participation in the same truth” as Christianity.

Brother Stan has posted some great thoughts over at the Reformed Baptist Fellowship blog about patriotic worship services.
A typical patriotic service might include a presentation of the American flag, singing of patriotic hymns, and a message centered around the Christian roots of the United States and a call to return to them. Are these services God-honoring? Are they wise?

Our friend Andrew has asked a couple of good questions over at StrangeBaptistFire in his post “God loves you and Jesus died for you.” Is this the gospel message we must proclaim? The title of the post is very telling as to what his questions are.
1. “Is the statement, ‘God loves you and Jesus died for you,’ an accurate summary of the gospel?” 2. Given a very brief amount of time to explain the gospel, should we tell non-Christians, ‘God loves you and Jesus died for you’?
