Blogotional says in his usual pithy way: “a simple gospel will change the world” and reminds bloggers that some of what we discuss is more complex than many of today’s churchgoer will understand. He argues that some of the points are less important than others which is no doubt true. But what I would say is it is important for a full understanding that we have some understanding of all the phases of responding to the gospel that Peter in... Read more
I wonder if the notion of selling book copies of blogs will catch on? Would any of my readers be interested in owning a book of my blog I wonder? Or of someone elses? I think I would like a copy of a book of Jollybloggers and maybe one or two more. Read more
It seems its tell your story time, as well as Jollyblogger and I Rebecca Writes, 21st Century Reformation, Word and Spirit and La Shawn Barber are all at it- why don’t you do the same? Read more
I cant remember the last time one of my posts caused such a stir as my wife’s simple gospel has done. It is amazing how much controversy the gospel can still cause. In this post I would like to do the rounds of what people have been saying and also restate the gospel in my own words. People keep saying that it was me who wrote those ten points- it wasn’t. I will restate the gospel in a way that... Read more
Greg Haslam doesnt mince his words- …..the cross worked in several directions at once: man-ward, satanward and God-ward, and of these three its effects on God are the most significant and fundamental (2 Cor 5:19; Heb 9:24; 1 John 2:1-2). Without the perspective of penal substitution, none of the other interpretations can stand or even make sense. There’s an alarming tendency in the church today to jettison tried and tested truths in search of something fresh and original to say... Read more
JOLLYBLOGGER didnt really take the bait, but it seems from the comments I am not the only person who believes that apostles today are as biblical as pastors or evanglists. Read more
A few days ago, I posted the first part of my story which continues here. I wonder if my father really thought that what had happened that night had been real. I was so young, could I really understand it? Had I understood the simple gospel not so very different from the one my wife would teach our sunday school almost thirty years later? Could this short conversation which ended in me praying really make such a difference to me?... Read more
Evangelical Underground has finished his process of appointing winners in a number of categories (actually it was done by a vote although it was quite quick and I for one didnt get a chance to add my vote). Anyway the list of winners is refreshing, not least because not one of them is a high profile blog. Tim Challies is my tip from the winners for future greatness- his is a fantastic blog which seems to pop up all over... Read more
Blogotional says it well “I love a simple gospel — It does not get in the way of Jesus.” Like me he is somewhat bemused by the level of response my wife’s simple summary of the gospel for four year olds is getting. By the way folks, its the closest to posting a blog entry my wife has ever done, so remember it was HER words not mine and she is my WIFE so be careful, be very careful- you... Read more
