GRACE: GOD WILL GET HIS WAY In my dips in Calvinism, the word “grace” for me became a much more active, powerful force in the Kingdom of God. If it was inevitable, going to do…
I recently had a very interesting discussion with a non-Calvinist Baptist theologian and denominational leader. He interviewed me for his podcast about soteriology. (I believe his “show” is called “Soteriology 101.”) I enjoyed the hour…
It is easy for us to get caught up in theological debates. Sometimes we need to take a step back, and simply pray for our opponents, and love them. Dr. Michael Brown’s comments here are…
Though this video is half a year old, I only recently stumbled upon it. Pastor Mike Winger has some excellent videos on apologetics in general, and this is his video on Calvinism in particular. It…

Sometimes, those of us who are steeped in theological discussions become so accustomed to the precise language that we use that we forget how to speak to the every day Christian. Below is a sermon…
In his Q&A section of his site, Dr. William Lane Craig recently gave his thoughts both on Compatibilism and Determinism. One of the most interesting comments was that he doesn’t hold to the Principle of…
