Those of you interested in following or contributing to the brewing debate may want to use the following Google Blogsearch feed as a way of keeping track of it. There has been little action yet but the comments section of my blog suggests that some bloggers are preparing themselves in the wings to join the action. There have been some great book recommendations also in the comments of some of my previous posts. Let the debate begin! Lets be nice... Read more
I am hoping that I might be able to sneak this post into the second God or Not carnival at the last minute. Entries are officially closed but a nice email might do the trick! Can we provide proof to our friends and fellow bloggers of Gods existance? Should we even try? The debates go on for centuries and there is no resolution. But when all is said or done, is there really enough evidence on either side to prove... Read more

Challies nails his colours to the mast on the charisma debate, making it clear where he stands in a review of a book by Sam Storms which advocates a convergence of Reformed people and Charismatics. As one who has already converged I think I would find this book interesting. Here’s what Tim said: “While I admire much of Storms’ ministry and have benefited greatly from reading some of his previous writings, and this book was useful in helping me understand... Read more
PyroManiac has been at the game of charismatic-bating. Citing examples of clearly erroneous prophecy he implies but then denies arguing that the charismatic gifts have ceased – although one gets the feeling that is coming up next! The comments were not as voluminous as I thought they would be, but one of them tickled me pink: “If I remember correctly, Martin Lloyd Jones believed in the gifts for today. C.J. Mahaney, Adrian Warnock, John Piper, highly respected men believe in... Read more
A reader sent me an email and asked the following: Hi there, I stumbled upon your blog by accident (or was it predestined…?), by doing a search on Calvinism, and I’ve enjoyed reading it. I do have a question, though, and it goes like this:How can a person believe in the doctrine of “Once Saved, Always Saved”, when in I Cor. 6:9-11 the Bible says,”Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:... Read more
One of the best things about blogging is when several things come together on one day. My pastor Tope and I were talking face to face earlier today (yes I know thats so pre-blog!) about what kind of preaching impacts hearts and lives and not just minds. We had a great time, so imagine my joy to come home and bump into the following “by chance”: 3:17 lists his favorite books on preaching, and summarises this story on the vital... Read more
I have been sharing my story rather slowly this past year. Back in Feb. I begun with part 1 and part 2, it wasn’t until March that I shared part 3. Since as one of my commentators pointed out blogging is not a profession I probably shouldn’t apologize for the length of time it has taken to get to part four, but I will anyway! So here is part four of my story- Moving home away from my friends, and... Read more

Have just been listening to a great talk from Terry Virgo on fanning into flame the gift of God. The whole talk is well worth listening to. Towards the end of the message, he reminded us of the need to sing to God in our own time, and also to follow Paul’s example who said he prayed in tongues more than anyone. Too often we speak of quiet times. I am increasingly convinced that I need to have more and... Read more
