For, first of all, the pious mind does not devise for itself any kind of God, but looks alone to the one true God; nor does it feign for him any character it pleases, but is contented to have him in the character in which he manifests himself always guarding, with the utmost diligences against transgressing his will, and wandering, with daring presumptions from the right path.

--John Calvin, Insitutes of the Christian Religion, I.ii.2

In Defense of Blogging

Lately there has been some concern in the PCA about bloggers and blogging. It seems that some people in the PCA view blogging as a real threat to the piece and purity of the Church. I will readily admit that there are blogs that are a waste of time, and that do nothing to advance discussion, but rather serve to spew out venom and vitriol. These blogs are a waste of time, and do nothing to promote the peace and purity of the Church. But what about blogs that do advance discussion? What about those blogs that blow whistles, call insidious heresies what they really are, and call the Church back to her Confessional roots? I suspect that the issue has more to do with the Evangelical wing of the PCA not liking what the Confessionalist wing has to say.

But enough from me...Read Phil Derksen's excellent blog post.

Oh, one more thing; I wanted to point out that bloggers brought down Dan Rather. Remember that glorious day?
