Taking a turn
So far we have looked intently at the idea of division between Reformed and non-Reformed people - especially the division over the 5 points of Calvinism, or as we simplified it, RPF vs. RFF. Regeneration and conversion are the hot-button points of debate between Reformed and non-Reformed people, and that is a good [...]

Something More
The “something more” I mentioned last time is really at the heart of what I mean by “post-Reformed.” In the incessant debates over 5 points and 3 words and 1 variant and various -isms, there are a couple of possible outcomes that maintain general Christian unity.

When I started this blog last year, I tried to throw down a series about being post-Reformed - and found myself rambling. I eventually deleted the posts. Now, I think I’m ready to give it another go, especially in lieu of our teaching series in Romans which is (very slowly) approaching the ominous chapter 9.
