What is the spirit behind this performance?
posted by Joel Taylor
A feature of New Calvinism is that it mixes the holy with the profane, and this, in my opinion, is because there is no fear of God before their eyes. The embedded video is an example of New Calvinist worship in practice. The scene is The Resolved Conference (2008) of John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church, […]

posted by Joel Taylor
From Brent Detweiler on Sunday, March 3, 2013: “When will the lying stop?

Harris succeeded the embattled C.J. Mahaney as pastor of the denomination’s flagship church in Maryland.

The Merger of Calvinism And Worldliness
posted by Joel Taylor
The title alone seems an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Calvinism merging with worldliness? Say it isn’t so. Ah, but have we forgotten about the ‘new’ Calvinism, with it’s charismatic grandeur, loud hip-hop and rap music used in conferences, services etc. Have the leaders in the forefront of the much heralded Calvinism resurgence adopted the ways of […]

Mark Driscoll Responds To Phil Johnson
posted by Joel Taylor
After receiving a letter from Phil Johnson, Mark Driscoll responds…sort of. Is it helpful? Yes, it is, sort of. However, this video was originally posted prior to John MacArthur’s so very public rebuke, and, I might add, does not address the issues MacArthur brought up in the SoS posts. Driscoll states regarding the language issue: “For […]
Why Haven’t Piper And Mahaney Responded To John MacArthur’s Request To Address Mark Driscoll?
posted by Joel Taylor
I’ve been spending a good deal of time trying to process all that I have heard, seen and read concerning Mark Driscoll.
