Right now I’m listening to a sermon by John MacArthur in which he lays out what be believes is at stake regarding how Evangelicals view Roman Catholics: Are they co-laborers in Christ or are they a mission field? In his talk, MacArthur expresses his amazement that some Evangelicals think that merely by deciding Roman Catholics are Christians, they automatically become such. He scoffs at “self-appointed Evangelical spokespeople” who make such claims in the media. Somehow lost on him is his... Read more
Much has been made of the fact Mark Driscoll was asked to stop passing out free copies of his new book when he made an impromptu appearance at John MacArthur’s Strange Fire conference last Friday. But that was merely a procedural matter. No one was allowed to hand out literature at the conference unless it had been pre-approved. A reasonable and understandable request to which Driscoll graciously acquiesced. However, Driscoll’s comments in response to why he chose to hand out... Read more

A top notch Libyan special forces unit sneaked into the United States and abducted a known terrorist–who also happened to be a US citizen–and then spirited him (or her) off to some undisclosed location to face trial under Libyan law? How do you think Americans would react? Read more
More specifically, he’s blogging about some issues that came up during the Q&A session following our screening of Hellbound? at Abilene Christian University last week. Seeing as these sorts of issues have come up at a number of screenings, it’s well worth your time to read these short posts. Especially if you’re prone to reject Universalism out of hand as somehow “un-biblical.” You can start with part one here. Read more
Last night while cruising through the foggy mountains on the way home from a couple of… “gladitorial” Hellbound? screenings at Abilene Christian University, I caught the tail end of the first Fragile Freedoms lecture series on CBC Radio’s most excellent Ideas program. The speaker was British philosopher A. C. Grayling, who provided a brief survey of the philosophical origins behind modern ideas about individual rights and liberties in the West. In his closing remarks, he quoted Benjamin Franklin, who said,... Read more
