Weighing In On “Terri” - Comments (1)

Everybody’s talking about it, and writing about it. So I thought I might add something to the discussion of what is going on in Flordia with Terri Schiavo.

Michael Savage is, I think, rightly calling her “Terri Schindler.” Of course, he is rightly called “Michael Weiner” (his real name.).

The immorality of denying a handicapped person food and water is so decadent, I do not really think comment is necessary. Here we find the denial of the basics of life.

In order to demonstrate that certain essential doctrines concerning the person of the Lord Jesus Christ are not necessary to bring one into saving faith, Zane Hodges proposes a theoretical circumstance that is preposterous on its face, and invalid in its details.

GES Controversy in John’s Gospel - Comments (5)

There shouldn’t be any controversy at all! Why and from where do such issues arise?

The Grace Evangelical Society (GES) has attracted the support of good churches and the men that lead them because it underscores and amplifies the good news of eternal life as “Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.”

The phrase is a wonderful one – and accurate – but not inspired.

It turns out that there are those in important positions of leadership in the GES that are, in my view, toying with turning beefsteak faith in the Lord Jesus Christ into twinkie faith in a non-Divine, unrisen, non-incarnate “Christ” who guarantees eternal life to all who trust in Him.

Yesterday, the GES had an evening breakout session featuring a robust discussion on the essential content of the gospel. Most of the discussion was “proposition” oriented. By that I mean that it focused on the reception of the offer of the gospel and its attendant promise of eternal life, such as are found in {John 3:16,|Jo 3:16} {John 6:47|Jo 6:47}, and {John 4:14|Jo 4:14} in conjunction with {John 4:26|Jo 4:26}.

This week I am attending the Grace Evangelical Society Conference (GES) for the first time.

It’s an interesting conference in one way just for its existence. It is something of a commentary on the state of the Word of God as it is held today that a society and a conference is specially formed for people to reinforce that salvation comes “by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.”

Psalm 12:6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

In Psalm 12, God tells us that the actual words of Scripture are written by him.

The Christmas holiday was never a good idea. It’s unwarranted, it’s unbiblical.
