This is my third and final post citing from J.I. Packer’s contribution to Hell Under Fire (2004), following “Universalism and Salvation” and “Biblical Teaching on Eternal Punishment”. Packer explains (or reminds us of) how God’s love is expressed in His Word and, among other things, that God’s “revealed plan of love” is centered always on […]
“My issue had nothing to do with homophobia or anything against LGBTQ. Quite the contrary, it had to do with oversexualization, exposing our children to comic book characters or social media where they’re constantly being bombarded with sexual images.” — Sophia Nelson Yes, in case it slipped past your current events radar, DC Comics announced […]
Everyone knows about Chicago’s history of crime and corruption. It’s a dangerous place to live, and most of the murders in the Chicago area nowadays are due to Black-on-Black violence. Sadly, sometimes innocents get caught in the crossfire — even children. Such was the case for 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams, who was killed this April while […]
Here is another selection quoting Anglican theologian J.I. Packer in Hell Under Fire, eds. Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson. The focus is on the Scripturally-based and -supported expression “eternal punishment” as the deserved penalty that some people earn for their sin, as opposed to what universalists believe. (See my earlier post.) But, it […]
Following up on last week’s post, I have another citation of Mark Morgan from the Imprimis article adapted from a lecture he gave this past July. The selection in particular follows Morgan’s discussion of President Trump’s effective border security policies. Informative? Yes. But, unless you are a Biden apologist, you will also find your blood-pressure […]
Let me begin by giving you three quotes, and you try to guess who said them. Ready? 1) “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.” 2) “Let me tell […]
I have been reading the book Hell Under Fire, eds. Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson. I highly recommend it. One of the chapters is written by noted Anglican theologian J.I. Packer, in which he addresses the theology of universalism, especially in relation to the eternal destiny of those who do not “accept Jesus” […]
“[Z]ero cases actually means zero jobs. It means zero hope. It actually means zero freedom at the end of the day because you’re not getting on with life.” — Evan Mulholland, director of communications at the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia As a result of fears over the spread of COVID-19, Australia has instituted […]
The Biden administration appears to be weary of being reminded of how badly the current border crisis has gotten and that they don’t have any answers. As per White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “There are a lot of Republicans out there giving speeches about how outraged they are about the situation at the border, […]
No, that title isn’t meant to be a metaphor. I’m talking about actual diamonds and coal. As has been well-established, diamond is an incredibly hard, crystalline form of carbon that requires extreme heat and pressure to form. However, contrary to what you may have heard, read, been taught, or watched on TV, diamonds do not […]
