(British Evangelical Journal): Examination of Piper's "Christian Hedonism"

H/t to Joe Coke for the leads here...two URLs.  Stunningly precise and much-needed criticisms of the high and revered celebrity figure in the American Baptyerian world of Mark Dever, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, Ligon Duncan, Al Mohler, Ligonier Ministires, Sproul and others.  His name is John Piper, a reworked revivalist.  The man, on our view, is undisciplined in Reformation

SGM-Mahaneygate: Crashing Revenues & Need of New $$-Sources

"Old Baldy" Mahaney, a man with a long
rap sheet of abusiveness and narcissism.
A man with uncanny instincts as a Mountebank.
Bradshaw is Old Baldy's son-in-law.  The pastoral
portrait below is rather laughable, since "Old
Baldy" has violated these "old but new" rules.

A Joint Statement: Redeemer Church of

Un-Presbyterianizing Presbyterians and Un-Reforming the Reformed

This has been a long time in coming,
that is, the un-Presbyterianizing of Presbyterians, the un-Reforming of the
Reformed, and un-Confessionalizing of Confessional Churchmen and the Baptyerian/Baptacostalist conquest. No surprises, it's the legacy of Ligon Duncan, Rick Phillips, Alliance of (Non)
Confessing Evangelicals, Ref21, John Frame, Vern Pothress, Pete Lillback,
Westminster-Philadelphia,

Baptacostal Hillbilly Mahaney Re-Ascends to Episcopal Monarchy

The Baptacostalist Hillbilly, C. J. Mahaney,
survives and his hand-selected and sovereign Board returns Mahaney to
permanency on the same board.  We are
not, in the least, surprised by a breakdown in a relationship between Mahaney
and Harvey, the hapless and troubled Board member who governed SGM during Mahaney’s temporary
exile.  Further, the relationship between
Mahaney and Harris is

Reformed Seminary, Orlando, FL Sells its Reformed Soul

          What’s
the matter with Reformed Theological Seminary?  Does “Reformed” mean anything?

Articles?  This new move strongly
suggests the “dumbing down” of Confessional commitments.

Jeremy Walker of Ref21: A Recommendation for Lent

Here is an example of several things: (1) Rash Puritanizers, such as this Particular Baptist...whoever Walker is or thinks he is.  Or, whomever Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals thinks he is.  Walker calls himself a "Reformed Baptist" which is Anabaptism with predestination and a few add-ons.(2) As per the below, brash talk that evinces little decency, quietness, moderation, charity towards
