Timelines and an organized list of events can be helpful to see how things evolve (or devolve), so I thought I would provide a play-by-play run down of the events that have transpired (and will continue to transpire) since the John 3:16 conference, and more particularly the revival of the charge of hyper-Calvinism by Dr. [...]

Paul Washer, Decisional Regeneration, and First Baptist Woodstock
November 21, 2008Paul Washer doesn’t play around in preaching, nor does he live in shades of gray.
What is fascinating about Washer’s preaching is that it continually dominates the charts on SermonAudio and attracts thousands through YouTube videos (his “shocking” sermon has nearly 900,000 visitors) while at the same time is never asked to come back and preach [...]

The Power of Words and the Wonder of God (Compilation)

Gospel Coalition, Themelios, and the Future
September 26, 2008Ever since I first heard of The Gospel Coalition (in March 2007), I was really jazzed about the potential of this new gospel-centered effort to recover the gospel in evangelical life and renew the vision for healthy churches constrained by the mission of God. They have hosted several conferences in the past, and although I [...]

The Politics of Jesus Seminar
September 14, 2008We are living in a day where Jesus is trying to be owned by political parties both on the left and the right.

“Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers.” - J.I. Packer

Carl Trueman on the Reformed Celebrity Culture
July 8, 2008Over a year ago, I asked a question it seemed many others were asking as well–”are we creating a Reformed celebrity culture?“ Some of my concerns were stated in this excerpt:
First, I do not want to see the Reformed movement become defined by the conference culture as the Keswick and Fundamentalist movements were. They were by and large parasitic [...]
