    My sweet mother went home to be with the Lord early this morning. She has been in hospice care for the last few weeks. My sister and I are grateful to the Lord for his grace and goodness. Mother was a godly woman who served the Lord all of her life.

    You have no gospel to announce to those for whom no atonement exists. One of the many problems with Limited Atonement.

    There is so much in this 2 minute clip of the great Alistair Begg I could wish every preacher would learn to emulate in their own preaching—Content, Creativity , Delivery, Pathos, Humor, Gestures, and more.

    If you adhere to Supersessionism (Replacement Theology), let me encourage you to read these two books. You will change your mind.

    I have been associated with @SWBTS for 43 years—as a student, member of the Board of Trustees, and faculty member for the last 18 years. To suggest by innuendo or direct accusation that Marxism is somehow taught or tolerated @SWBTS is simply and patently false.

    I’ll believe in limited atonement when: 1. You can show me one verse that teaches it. 2. You can tell me how it squares with John 3:16, and a dozen other verses. 3. You can explain to me why all the verses that say Christ died for the “world,” & “all” d/n mean what they say. . .

    Pastors, as you preach Sunday remember two things: 1) Someone in your congregation may be hearing the gospel for the first time. 2) Someone else may be hearing it for the last time. Preach Jesus and call people to Christ who is himself offering salvation thru you to all who hear.

    Overzealous Calvinists would do well to keep their caustic opinions about Dispensationalists to themselves during this time of great evil. Especially so w a hermeneutic of spiritualization that essentially entails making God a liar with respect to some of his promises to Israel.

    50 years ago today, Nov 18, 1973, I went forward in the evening service at West Rome Baptist Church & told my pastor, Jerry Vines, that God was calling me to preach. I was 16. Beyond being a pastor, I never dreamed I would serve as a teacher of preachers as well. Thank you, Lord.
