As I move into a new place, I decided to do another library cleaning. Richard Mouw’s Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport is now for sale on Amazon. The book was required reading during  a course at college. I honestly didn’t find it as helpful as Steele’s The Five Points of Calvinism, Ryken’s Doctrines of [...]

Came across a good quote from Turretin in his Institutes of Elenctic Theology that fits well with what was posted last week on God’s ‘Sovereignty, Quantum Mechanics, and Micromanaging”: Although men’s actions may be free (because done spontaneously and by a previous judgment of reason), they do not cease to be necessary with respect to [...]

Hello friend, I was curious about a few things. Why are you unwilling to debate those who you consider to be Christians on certain subjects but not others?

So if God DOESN’T actively and positively DO something, does it not happen? Can God DO anything by NOT directly and actively intervening? The scriptures say He upholds everything by His hand. [...]

Scott Clark’s critique of Baptist covenant theology, I do want to briefly remind readers that my overarching goal is unity, not division. That might seem strange to some ears. Shouldn’t we just focus on where we agree, and [...]

The “covenant of grace” is one of the most profound and yet controversial theological truths of Christianity. Many leaning towards dispensationalism simply say “well, I don’t see it anywhere in the Bible,” and so dismiss it. Infant-baptists see it as the sure ground for vindicating their position. Reformed Baptists such as myself simply agree with [...]

Keep in mind this particular blog series assumes some introductory knowledge to the credo/paedo baptist debate. R. Scott Clark of Westminster West (notorious, I would say, for being critical of baptists and their beliefs)  recently finished a 5 part series entitled “Some Differences Between Baptists and Reformed Theology on the New Covenant.” Dr. Clark is [...]
