As far as Ligonier I’ve been a table talk subscriber for a couple of years now and I haven’t been called about any donations. They may know they are asking from blood out of a turnip.

I am of Dever! I am of Piper! I am of Mohler! I am of Mahaney! I am of Jesus! Sounds more Corinthian than any of us really wants to admit. The disturbing thing is that this kind of turf-ism (think i just made up a word) is so subtle. It’s something every generation of believers must wage war against when you have men who are great and have done great things for the sake of the Kingdom. Thanks for highlighting the article.

All I have to say about Reformed Celebrity culture is never get on a Ligonier Ministry mailing list. You will be hounded for a donation. Phone calls, emails, letters. They must hire the same people who do collections. Relentless
