Gladly! But, in reality, you should thank John Piper, John MacArthur, Darrell Bock, and a few others who helped me understand it better when I preached it a...
Please forgive the long email (most of it's an allegory). Like all allegories, it has some limitations, but if any of you can take the time, I think your...
Dolly, That is a wonderful allegory regarding the popular view of salvation today. A view, by the way, that I was taught growing up as well, and espoused until...
Thank you, Douglas, for taking the time to respond at length to the donuts allegory. Someone had sent that to me awhile ago and I thought it portrayed what I...
Hi Dolly, I think you are right to struggle with the issue of limited atonement as is commonly understood by Calvinists. I remember being startled when I read...
Good sound counsel in my judgement, Eric. In the donut story I guess this would equate to the "good guy" doing press-ups once, on behalf of the whole class -...
Thank you, Eric, this was very helpful, primarily your advice to "Keep focusing on the person of Jesus, and not abstract doctrines." I'm sure there are some...
Dolly, Being that I'm a convinced 5-pointer (even if only a recent one), you would expect me to possibly take offense at Eric's suggestion that L or any of the...
Doug, I appreciate your response. I consider my self a 5 pointer, but I still struggle with it. I guess you can say I saw the "light" about three years, but...
Interesting posts, though I think they have a few holes in them! [Couldn't resist!] When we visited our son in California in 2003, we discovered funny little...
I really enjoy this thread. Everyone has had good things to say, and they all make me think. I just wish I had all the missing donut holes to fill in the...
Hello to Everyone, I also have enjoyed reading this thread. I love the Doctrines of Grace. Those precious teachings truly reveal to the objects of His grace a...
... Ahhhh, now there's an interesting question... will there be donuts in heaven?! Dolly P.S. Thanks to all for your input. To quote an ancient philosopher...
Just want to say that the way people on this list handle differing opinions on theology is truly remarkable compared to most other Christian discussion lists....
Yoda was also quite an avid theologian from the Hindu perspective, if I recall. Pastor Douglas Mixer Grace Baptist Church 1350-H Blair Drive Odenton, MD 21113...
Doug, True about Yoda. Most people who have viewed the movie never pick up on the fact it is a eastern religion indoctrination flick. That's why there is holes...
It is very obvious from the most recent movie (Episode III). He tells Anakin that he must let go of everything (especially relationships) that he fears to...

Eric, You wrote: " Moe, I think your pastoral advice on how to handle the doctrines of grace is very wise. So often, they can be a stumbling block for young...
Our current elder board consists of 4 Calvinists and one Arminian. After a message from Luke 4 on repentance in which I never once mentioned the word ...
For those who have participated in the "donuts" discussion and might not get this in your email. I found it interesting that the sermon they sent me today had...
I'm currently attending Gothard's Basic Life Principles Seminar (please don't jump to unnecessary conclusions). I know absolutely nothing about the man except...
I'm starting to hate the word purpose. But I must admit, "Christianity" sure does sell well. I received one of Warren's books "PDL for graduates" last month...
Aaron, When I was a teenager I attended at 10 different Gothard seminars and my family was enrolled in Gothard's homeschool curriculum (ATIA) for a couple of...
Hi Aaron, Don't worry about Rick Warren's books, even though I find them to be a little shallow, I have heard from numerous people that have found them to be...
thanks Brain that was very good on Bill Gotherd. We can even learn from those outside our camp. Pastor Mike Howard "A happy marriage is the union of two good...
I got it also. Makes you wonder if someone is listening!? FYI, I was listening to the tapes I got last summer at the seminar on Romans 9-11 and there is some...
Aaron - In their wonderful book "Cat and Dog Theology", Bob Sjogren & Gerald Robinson (who call Piper a "dog's dog") say that Bruce Wilkinson is "a dog, but...
Is anyone here familiar with the Men's Fraternity program by Robert Lewis? He's a member of the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood with which Piper is...
I tend to agree about Wilkinson. I did not know about him until "Jabez." I have not been impressed with some recent titles from him when I read the book...
