  • Frank Turk and the Concession Speech

    This article by Frank Turk on the gospel is worth the 2-3 minutes it takes to read it (link). I’m not saying I agree with every last jot and tittle of what he writes, but the main points he makes are the main points that need to be made, especially to the folks with whom…

  • Broad Path Evangelicalism

    There is a soft-hearted variety of “Evangelicalism” out there that doesn’t want to make anyone unhappy. There’s also a hard-hearted variety that takes pleasure in making others unhappy, but that group is much smaller. This soft-hearted variety always likes to think the best of other people and doesn’t want to make anyone upset or nay-say…

  • Evangelicals – Could This be Your Child?

    I was directed by Mark Shea to the blog of someone who Mr. Shea claims is “Another Protestant Start[ing] on the Whole ‘Going Deeper into History and Ceasing to be a Protestant’ Thing” (link to the person’s blog) (link to Shea’s blog).

  • Evangelical Parents – Could This Be Your Child?

  • Evangelical Manifesto Reviewed

    B.J. Buracker at Stupid Scholar has provided an interesting and insightful review of the so-called “Evangelical Manifesto.” (link) His conclusion is about right, which is why I do not anticipate myself providing a more detailed critique of this document. To God be the Glory!

  • R. Scott Clark on Catholics, Evangelicals, and Rome

    While we are on the subject of “Evangelicalism,” R. Scott Clark has recently reposted a couple of articles on the issue of Catholics, Evangelicals, and Rome. Article 1 (link) notes that we should not cede the title of “Catholics” to the sect of Roman Catholics, nor the term “Evangelicals” to the broadly evangelical movement. He…

  • Bruce Ware contra Open Theism

    I happened to recently come across the following linked article by Bruce Ware on the topic of whether Open Theism is properly classified as evangelical. (link) Ultimately, I agree with what I understand his conclusion to be, namely that the doctrines of open theism are not evangelical doctrines. They compromise the nature of God. Of…
