In light of the landmark decision to overturn the ruling that led to the federal sanction of ten holocausts worth of murder, some good, godly subversive agents brothers in high-ranking institutions have told us not to be too happy, reminding us to "rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep" (Rom....

James White used to be my favorite theologian.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is... Continue Reading →
In a twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan's head spin, Leighton Flowers recently released an hour-plus long video on ... Calvinism! In his latest installment of Quantity over Quality, Leighton joins his friend, Eric Kemp, in trying to smoke out the Hyper-Calvinist of John Piper's doctrine by setting a stadium's worth of strawmen on...
