Some new faces around here...

I knew something was up when I saw the traffic for my blog yesterday:


It turns out that David Heddle over at the blog He Lives has mentioned my posts on Calvinism.  When a nobody like me gets mentioned on a great blog like He Lives, StatCounter is sure to go into a tizzy.  This has happened once before, with similar results.

In both cases, the bloggers in question have disagreed with me, which is really great.  I'm used to a religious environment where conformity is highly valued, and questions are seen as a lack of faith.  I long for a church family where open questions are encouraged, and certainty is acknowledged as the elusive vapor it really is.  (That sounds postmodern, but I've had that label thrown at me too many times in the last week, so keep it to yourself, okay?)

In any case, here are a couple posts from He Lives regarding Calvinism and the issues I've been discussing lately:

Sproul chapter two: God's Sovereignty
Sproul chapter three: Free Will

Enjoy!
