My Own Freewill Journey

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." -- John 3:16 (ESV) I grew up in the Cumberland Presbyterian church. My friend Laird says it is Arminian in theology. I believe that is an over simplification, however, the congregation that I belonged to in Lebanon, Missouri definately believed in the "who-so-ever-will" doctrine.

Life Time Accomplishment

I got the ultimate spam. It is not that I really liked what was written in the e-mail but the address list was impressive. Some of 256 names were unfamilar to me, but the institution domain names were impressive. denverseminary.edu Wheaton.edu calvinseminary.edu fuller.edu Given that some really well known people were on the spam list, I'm assuming that many of these others who were not recognizable to me were none the less, heavy hitters. But those I did know are as follows: Alister McGrath Douglas J. Moo G.I. Williamson RC Sproul Jr RC Sproul John W. Macarthur John Piper Richard L. Pratt Phillip R. Johnson Since I got grouped with these greats on the spam list, I guess I should be flattered to get such spam.
