“Is Arminianism ‘Reformed’?”
27 February 2014. Depends on how whether you accept the broad or narrow definition of “Reformed.” It’s in the broad tradition of Protestantism; it’s not in the narrow tradition of Calvinism.

“Arminianism and providence.”
1 March 2014. God can, and does, interfere with free will. But he never manipulates us into doing evil.

Lots of new content from SEA’s members.

Our members have blogs, so if the Friday Files hasn’t provided you with enough reading material for a lazy Saturday, pop on over to those websites. And if you wanna keep up with all of them (or many), get a feedreader or news aggregator. Like Feeder, Feedreader, Feedly, G2Reader, Inoreader, NewsBlur, and The Old Reader. Find the sites’ RSS or Atom feeds, add them to your feedreader, and the feedreader will inform you when there’s something new on their sites. It’s nice.
