Do Calvinists Lack Compassion?

Peggy made an interesting comment on my last post (Salvation According to Calvinism – in Memes) that is directly related to a few videos I had planned to share at some point. Since she raised the topic, I decided to go ahead and put these in a post. Here is what she said: I have …

The Destructive Teachings of Lordship Salvation and the Perseverance of the Saints

Dear friend, if you struggle with resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ and the security of your salvation then this post is for you. It’s also for you if you know someone who is plagued with fear and doubt about their standing in Christ. Men teach that we can’t know if we are …

Stealth Calvinist Pastors Lying to Their Congregations

So I’ve mentioned stealth Calvinism before, but I didn’t have a good example at my fingertips. I know about it because I’ve read too many horror stories of pastors who hide their Calvinism and then bring it out once they get the job. In the process, they break up the church and drive out members …

John MacArthur’s Arrogant Rebuke of Alana Lagares

For some time, I have been collecting resources related to the theological problems of Calvinism as well as the experiences of Christians when leaving such churches. Finally this weekend I started assembling them under Leaving Calvinism. They are all back-dated to when I started collecting them.  This video, however, is going up new at the …

Alana Lagares and Leighton Flowers on John MacArthur Rebuke

If you have watched some of the videos I’ve shared about Alana’s story, you will want to watch this: John MacArthur tells Alana to keep her thoughts to herself | Dr. Leighton Flowers at Soteriology 101. It’s an interesting discussion about what MacArthur said and what Alana has experienced since then. I find it especially …

Alana Lagares’ Story In and Out of Calvinism

Alana shared her Calvinism story including both how she got drawn into it and what caused her to leave. It struck a chord with many people and caused quite a bit of conversation online. In one supremely ironic twist, Alana was rudely dismissed and rebuked by John MacArthur (see here – John MacArthur’s Arrogant Rebuke …

John Piper, Mark Driscoll, & Matt Chandler Critique Doug Wilson | Speaking of Trajectory and Irony

I happened across this today. It’s from 13 years ago. If you want the definition of irony, this is it in a brief video. Skimming the comments, here’s a few that stood out to me. Ben Lambert: Chandler is a CRT apologist, who apologizes for being white. Piper is an emotionalist, who has naturally swung …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
