Calvinism Defeated • Phil Johnson & CrossTalk on Warrengate
I thought I might as well share these. [Thanks to Henry Middleton of the Thoughts on Apologetics Blog] Firstly, Henry asked me, "Did you see the "Calvinism Defeated Once and For All" video tweeted by Lane [Chaplin]?" I said, I haven't yet, and that I will check it out ASAP. Somehow, I kinda wish I didn't bother watching the video. It's just...bad. [Feel free to rant at the comments section below on how much a thousand times ...

Challies on Why Piper Should Not Have Invited Rick Warren
As much as I've expressed my personal disappointment with Tim Challies' exercise of positive-neutrality in his visit to Rick Warren's Saddleback church last year (Positive = favoring Rick Warren, despite biblical unfaithfulness. Though to be clear I am indebted with Challies' biblical critique of RW's ministry over the years. I am in no wise saying that he is positively endorsing Rick Warren in any way, shape or form) • HT I want to affirm here, though, ...

John Piper, Rick Warren, and the Doctrine of Separation
Saw this blog post from the "Reformata et Semper Reformanda" blog the other day dealing with this comment coming from John Piper regarding Dr. Piper inviting Rick Warren to speak at the Desiring God 2010 Conference: I'm not going to draw the circle there. And supposed you disagree with me on that. Now, you're faced with the question: "OK, I'm with John Piper theologically, I'm not with Rick Warren on a bunch of things, John Piper ...

Thoughts on Wretched Radio on John Piper & Rick Warren
So I just listened to Todd Friel's commentary (looped full 2 hour stream • 15minute podcast) on the "Warrengate Controversy". His thoughts are spot on especially in stressing the fact that the issue is not about what Rick Warren confesses privately, but what he preaches and practices publically. And that it's a more dangerous thing to be able to know all the right things, and yet not preach and practice it. That's just flat out hypocrisy. ...

The Inadequate Gospel of Rick Warren
Updates from the Apprising Blog, just in case there are some of you still unsure whether or not Rick Warren is worthy of the title "Wolf in sheep's clothing", and just in case some of you feel that John Piper inviting him to the Desiring God 2010 Conference is more of a positive thing than a negative. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of ...

Rick Warren Rock-Solid Theologically? Really, Dr. Piper?
Checked for some new updates on the Crosstalk Blog. Saw an interesting post: HT This post from “In the Hedge” needs no commentary. Thank you to David Horn for posting it. Here's what was in that link in the post: HT httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShxvN8YWTlA Listen as John Piper spins the truth about Rick Warren. Over the years, Rick Warren has proven he is a false teacher but John Piper cannot see this simple truth. I wonder how John Piper will spin this about Rick ...

So I did my best to follow the Live session of "Ask Pastor John" by DesiringGod.org. You can see my comments and reactions on what was said by Dr. Piper in defense of his decision by viewing my Twitter stream, or my status feed over at Facebook. Until the video is released in the APJ section over at the DesiringGod website, allow me to do a brief review of the crucial points of Dr. Piper's address ...
