Eutychian Errata, thanks to Waltz's Rejoinder
Please note, this post has a high chance of getting date bumped into oblivion, because it is not a high priority. David Waltz has responded to my previous post via his own blog. He alleges two errors: Error #1 – Alexandria was in full control of the Fatimids, NOT the Sunnis, during the period that…

Sam Duncan's Comment
It seems Sam Duncan has created no small stir by pointing out the obvious fact that the PCA’s SJC has already been considering the facts of the case of Wilkins’ promotion of, and the LAP’s failure to prosecute Wilkins for, Federal Visionism.

Convicting Thoughts on the Lord's Day
This author does not want Pharisaism (nor legalism either), and yet one cannot read accounts of even modern Jewish reverence for the Sabbath without being convicted that we could do more to reverence and sanctify the Lord’s day. More discussion here (link). May God give us greater respect for the fourth commandment (Remember the Sabbath…
