Here is a vital question: Will the steward be found faithful? (I Corinthians 4:2) Can a gospel minister be considered faithful to Christ and His Word who promotes the sale of books by those who proclaim error and associate with the enemies of Christ? That is the question which must be asked about Dr Joel […]

Janet Mefferd Apologizes for Charging Mark Driscoll with Plagiarism
posted by Joel Taylor
Hmm. Janet Mefferd now apologizes for charges of plagiarism against Mark Driscoll? With so much evidence? I smell lawyers, and a good-ole boy network. To borrow the words of Charles Barkley, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. You can listen to Mefferds explanation here.
Justin Taylor on Janet Mefferd
posted by Joel Taylor
Apparently, Justin Taylor of the Gospel Coalition just cannot take the heat of Truth. After deleting many comments from this post, Justin finally laid this out to a commenter named Daryl, which reveals much about Justin’s loyalty to the truth before God [ More to come soon, Lord willing ] : “Daryl, I’m not going […]
Mercy for Mark Driscoll
posted by Joel Taylor
This post is intended to send a message, to myself and to my readers: You and I are not better than Mark Driscoll, and God is watching. Those of us who preach are far from perfect. In fact, if every preacher who ever made a mistake were to step down and stop teaching, there would […]
Mark Driscoll Nailed for Plagiarism
posted by Joel Taylor
From Janet Mefferd: On Nov. 21, I conducted an interview with Mars Hill Church Pastor Mark Driscoll. During the course of the interview, I questioned Pastor Driscoll about two sections of his book, “A Call to Resurgence,” which neglected to contain any quotes, detailed footnotes or attribution for his reproduction of another scholar’s thoughts and […]
Is the Bible Sufficient, or Do We Need New Revelation?
posted by Joel Taylor
Thomas Williamson One of the unfinished items of business for modern theology is the question of the Sufficiency of Scripture. Is the revelation we have in the 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments enough for us to rely on for guidance in matters of faith and practice, or do we need new […]
New Calvinism, the Internet & the Fragmentation of the SBC
posted by Joel Taylor
Wm. F. Harrell had some interesting things to say in a recent issue of the Baptist Banner. While I agree with much of the original article, I am pretty confident that when Harrell says ‘Calvinism’, he actually means new Calvinism. He discusses the Acts 29 network of ‘churches’ as well as Mark Driscoll, et. al., […]

Bootlicker, Ignorant, Coward or Unregenerate?
posted by Joel Taylor
Nowhere are Christian leaders more prone to kowtow to others as when their very careers and reputations may be affected by those to whom they allow serious error in exchange for favorable status to the masses, especially in these days of social media. Such is the case regarding John MacArthur.

New Calvinism: It’s Major Tenets & Sources
posted by Joel Taylor
Paul Dohse of Pauls Passing Thoughts has an important, ongoing service to the Church, namely, exposing New Calvinism (NC) for what it truly is: A movement rooted in Seventh-Day Adventism; a complex, mind-boggling, twisting of Scripture in order to systematize so-called Reformation doctrine with the false premise that it was once lost and is now […]

The Evangelical Will Kane Moment
posted by Joel Taylor
Carl Trueman has done it now. I’m a little disappointed. You see, Phil Johnson wrote a piece called Evangelical Exhibitionists and Carl Trueman called it Another Kane Moment. Will Kane, that is, and that is what bugs me. I’ll explain later. Granted, Phil’s post on Mark Driscoll was a decent one, yet consider this: 1) […]
Justification Is Not of Christ Alone

I’m not even sure I like the title of this post. Not because it’s not true, but because it’s confusing. Let me explain. A few days ago I posted this piece promoting the book by Paul Dohse entitled The Truth About New Calvinism: It’s History, Doctrine, and Character It’s worth reading. In fact, I think […]
