reformingchristianity shared as favorite : Covenant Sem- Apologetics, Missions, Preaching &emdash; 27th, June 2009

WelcomeWelcomeWelcome to the ReformingChristianity.com "Netvibes Universe"! On this site you will find a collection of links to excellent Reformed teachings, blogs, podcasts, free book, free seminary courses, and more. We truly are blessed, are we not, that such high quality resources are available to us freely? What makes these pages a little different is that they utilize the "Web 2.0" technology of the Netvibes platform, making it simple for me as the creator to find and add new content, and making it convenient for you, as a visitor, to enjoy the many resources here. I also am the author of Jordan's View, a blog that features original articles and also has extensive resources from a reformed Christian ("doctrines of grace") perspective. On this site is especially focused on promoting the reformed "doctrines of grace", also known by the acrostic "T.U.L.I.P." The classic, rich biblical truths found in these teachings paint a portrait of God and of Christian life that properly show God as central to salvation and sanctification (or, in simple words, He is the one that saves believers and makes us like Him, from beginning to end). These doctrines honor and glorify God by crediting Him alone as the One whose power transforms lives, through the radical grace that comes to us through Jesus Christ. They offer meaty, substantive insights from the Scriptures-- a bracing antidote to the weak, man-centered teaching altogether too prevalent in these days. These doctrines have sometimes been maligned by detractors as a man-made system. They have been accused of being erroneous-- even heretical; a detriment, rather than a blessing to the church. But I believe the critics are wholly off-target in such an assessment. For the reformed truths were not discovered or derived from any place other than the teachings of inspired Scripture. They present biblical truths that sometimes appear contradictory or irreconcilable to our finite minds-- such as, how can God be sovereign over all things, including salvation, yet man still held responsible for his choices? Yet such teachings are only apparently contradictory-- for the great reformed truths God has graciously revealed to humanity through the Bible cannot be grasped by human reasoning alone, but are nevertheless to be accepted and obeyed, by the faith God gives us. May this site then, lead many to discover and study these old truths of "Calvinism" for themselves-- and decide whether or not they are the teaching of the Bible. If after careful examination one is not yet convinced they are not biblical, then by all means do not adopt them--just yet. This isn't to say that I believe that individual judgments on these matters are the final arbiter; it is my prayer that the Spirit may use reformed teaching perhaps discovered by means of this site to convince all that these doctrines are indeed of God, and thus help people to embrace them, and be full of godly joy and fruit in applying them.

Yesterday it was my birthday. I hung one more year on the line... Paul SimonSo maybe on my birthday I ought to have been out celebrating, or doing something a little special, but instead I stayed home all day (I had asked for the day off from work). How did I celebrate my birthday? Well, I spent

Blips on the Blogosphere 20- Post-Christian America? Apr 17, 2009 03:33:03 GMT

There's been a lot of press and discussion lately about the United States as a "post-Christian" nation.President Obama's phrase, "we are no longer just a Christian nation", spoken during a keynote address Obama gave in June 2006, later generated much controversy during his presidential campaign. Ob

Watchblogging Revisited Apr 13, 2009 19:43:55 GMT

In a recent post titled Evil as Entertainment, Reformed blogger Tim Challies takes certain watchblogs to task for harping on evil so much that they neglect to point out what is good and true. He feels such blogs may be the equivalent of a "spiritualized form of YouTube", in that they present evil a

I Was Wrong, Mr. Charismatic! Apr 01, 2009 19:04:53 GMT

Those who visit this blog regularly probably have noticed that I have become a staunch advocate of reformed theology here on Jordan's View. The transition was gradual-- I went from being charismatically-inclined to calling myself a reformed charismatic, but for the past year or more I have preferre

UPDATE: I'm still working on re-posting the articles from my series on Arminianism vs Reformed theology, but I have decided to edit them as I proceed, so the process of reposting will likely take longer than I'd originally planned.In the meantime, more "blips from the blogosphere"...----------------
