I’m a Calvinist.1 If that hasn’t caused you to roll your eyes and back out or to call me a heretic condemned to hell, read on. The whole “Calvinism-Arminianism debate” may seem like a bunch of idiots arguing about nonsense that doesn’t matter, but it’s actually very important to how we speak with unbelievers. One […]
An interesting thing has happened to religion in recent years, or at least the word “religion”. The very idea of religion has been vilified by those who would have once been considered its adherents.

One of the most prevalent complaints that Christians have toward Calvinists is arrogance. In fact, before I embraced reformed theology I can attest that I thought most of my Calvinist friends were overtly arrogant. Now, as a Calvinist I can absolutely see why and have to crucify that arrogance to the cross of Christ almost […]
