  • Riddleblog Readers will very much enjoy Dr. Scott Clark’s Reformation Day lecture given at Westminster Seminary California. A must listen: Dr. Scott Clark's Lecture on Reformation Day 2022

  • Here’s yet another important reminder that, “yes, our Reformed theological forefathers were indebted to Aquinas for a number of things.” Acknowledging this to be true is a fact of historical theology, not necessarily a step on the slippery slope to Rome as some fear. Here’s a great example of what I mean. David VanDrunen on "Standing on Aquinas' Shoulders"

  • Another important short essay on “appropriations” and Christology from Fred Sanders. Distinctions and correct terminology matter. Fred Sanders on Important Christological Distinctions

  • If you don’t think that things have gotten absolutely crazy among Christian nationalists, here are three links which should disabuse you of the notion that this movement is not theologically problematic. The first is a timely reminder from Russell Moore about the growing indifference among professing evangelicals toward Christian orthodoxy. Tribal identity is more important than sound doctrine. The other two links are from recent Michael Flynn rallies. They speak for themselves.

(1) The Rise of Heresy -- How Politics Increasingly Trumps Theology in Evangelical Circles

(2) Michael Flynn's Prayer Against "Rinos and Deep-State Trash" in the Name of Jesus, of Course,

(3) More Michael Flynn -- Baptisms at the “Re-Awaken America Tour?” At best, this is two-kingdom confusion, at worst much of this stuff borders on blasphemy.

Ozzie in the Grocery Store? “Shaaaron, where are the frozen bats?”
