Spanish Reformed Resources

Today one of my readers let me know that Chapel Library (a ministry of Mt.Zion Bible Church) has a Spanish page. It's still growing, but I would highly recommend you take a look if you want to share Spanish translations of the works of people like A.W. Pink and Charles Spurgeon. I've lamented the fact that I haven't see n much in the way of resources for Spanish speakers, but today I was given a little hope.

Justin Taylor Weighs In On The Elephant Room

The key word for him? Wisdom. Wisdom in the planning and in the approach on the part of the people involved. Time will tell if they were wise or not, but Taylor hits the nail on the head when he writes:


But I think the whole thing could have been better if conceived in a different way. 
The Elephant Room could have achieved virtually of the same results, perhaps better ones, without any of the negative relational repercussions and doctrinal confusion. 
How? By holding the conversations offline.

In Honor of Francis Schaffer's Birthday, Here He Is Preaching "A Christian Manifesto"

He would have turned 100 today. A lot of people will be talking about his great work so I wanted to show you the man himself. It was given the day after his 70th Birthday. We might not always agree with him, but I wish we had MORE people like him today.

The Prosperity Gospel: The Other Elephant In The Room




    The team over at Wretched Radio have made an interesting collection of video clips where Mark Driscoll and James Macdonald come down hard on the Prosperity Gospel. There are also clips of T.D. Jakes peddling that kind of theology. Interesting that they didn't bring any of this up at the Elephant Room. (So far as we know).

Click On This: Trinity Edition



Every now and again there are some cool links I think I should share with you. Given that the Trinity was a big issue on the blogosphere this week (due to T.D. Jake's Interview at the Elephant Room), I picked a few posts I found dedicated to the Trinity.

Trevin Wax On How To Process The Elephant Room

Travin Wax was at the Elephant Room Sessions yesterday and live blogged the event. He's a solid brother (and a fellow Southern Baptist!) and I trust him. He gives some great guidelines on how to reflect on yesterday's event and, with much grace, he still zeroes in on some of the concerns many people still have. I really hope people take what he has to say to heart.

Frank Turk also had a lot to say about yesterday's event, but he's more to the point. Still, worth checking out.
