(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: 2nd Church Pulls Out of SGM
Brent Detwiler is reporting a second secession--of another congregation from the SGM. It's called Grace Community in Sarasota, FL. There is reason to believe that others will follow suit. There are reports that most of the FL congregations may follow suit. There are reasons to believe that many have left Crossway, Charlotte, NC, headed by a strenuous defender of C.J.

Sir Mickey Connolly
For those
following the Baptacostalist meltdown-of-sorts in this micro-sect of about
28,000 members, called SGM, it is a beloved outfit by “Together for the Gospel,”
Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Carl Trueman, Kevin DeYoung and other YRRers. We bring you the latest from a former member and
leader of their Sect, Brent Detwiler, as he writes about a current member of

Me" Mahaney
Dreary SGM-Mahaneygate continues. It's better to just avoid all manner of contact with all of them.
Backstory. Mickey Connolly, SGM Community Organizer (or whatever SGM calls him, “Apostle,”
“Elder,” “Pastor?”), runs an outfit in Charlotte, NC. Mickey's outfit called Crossway is associated with

Theodore Beza: Anabaptists' Great Error
H/T to Andy Underhile.
“The Anabaptists greatly err by opposing the baptism of infants…. Although they may not have faith with its effects such as those who are of age — they may, however, have the seed and germ of it; seeing that the Lord has sanctified them from the mother’s womb (First Corinthians 7:14)…. We presuppose in general that they are children of God — who are born of a believing

H/T to Dr.
Darryl Hart for his scholarly leadership, conservation of excellent memories, and contributions to the preservation of “that
old and scholarly” Princeton tradition.
A “careful breed,” my father frequently noted with approval. "Good fences make for good neighbors," said Robert Frost in his famous poem; Dr. Charles Hodge, amongst many others, raised the

Hillbilly Religion: Youth Perspectives on Church
Our British friend, Church Campanologist (CC), has posted an insightful
view on “Youth Perspectives” and the Church. CC has posted at: http://churchmousec.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/youthful-perspectives-on-the-church/
Can anyone say “Mark Driscoll” as a “youthful
perspective" on the Church? Can anyone say "Rick Warren," "Joel Osteen," and many others? Or, from a
historic perspective, the
Update: 1 of 2 Law Suits Against TBN Dropped
An interesting development
with the TBN lawsuits. One of the two suits has been dropped, not dismissed. There is a difference, but we doubt Charisma’s journalists have legal
backgrounds. Why this happened is not clear yet; this suit is less clear than the main one filed by Paul Crouch's Grand-daughter, Brittany Koper.
