A Great Help for Bloggers, from Martin Luther

45 comments

I saw a link to this today and thought that it was an amazing asset for bloggers. It is a listing of graphic insults from Martin Luther’s writings.  I do not know who compiled this list, but this is a great boon for us. Instead of making up our own insults, we can just generate [...]

Divorce, Remarriage and Ministry: What is a “Husband of One Wife?”

63 comments

“I want to stick to the biblical standard.  I don’t think we should compromise the Bible to let divorced men serve as deacons.” I was having a discussion with my deacons a few years ago.  Our church has had an unwritten rule for a long time that divorced men were ineligible to serve as deacons [...]

Just as we are getting ready to head to NOLA for the SBC, at which the “Great Commission Baptist” moniker will be on the docket, an amazing event has taken place. ABC has cancelled that piece of putrid filth known as “GCB”, or “Good Christian Belles” or whatever it used to [...]

Our Enemy is Neither Calvinism nor Arminianism, but Polarization (By Ken Hamrick)

43 comments

Editor: Ken Hamrick blogs at “Biblical Realist” and lives in Ohio.  I appreciate Ken’ submission of this post.  I fully agree that we have to realize the dangers of splintering and polarization.   The quiet majority is being ignored whenever the more vocal proponents of either extreme frame the argument with the assumption that there [...]

Understanding Antinomy: A Key to Peace in the Calvinism Debate?

34 comments
