Calvinism Hard Right in a Left Hooked SBC

[Stephen Fox]

I know here in Bama John Killian of Tennessee Temple is weary of Russ Moore and the ERLC. And as Bama politics break down takes Armistead over Rick Lance's Deacon Gov Bentley.

How far to the right can you go without all the twigs breaking?

I've said for five to seven years runnin, the true conversation begins between Al Mohler and Marilynne Robinson. Robinson's easily googled Q and A at Duke is good place to start.

With her as the center, like Colin Harris take on the tea party, Mohler and Trey Gowdy are more about the politics of distraction than integrity. All posturing and nonsense at some point. My analogy is imperfect, but good place for Thornton to spend his time, like Mark Noll's comment on Lincoln and Emily Dickinson and the fundamentalist juggernaut of the 1850's. Thornton hasn't addressed that either in the last seven years.

Dr. Thornton, my piece in the TJ today was grand. Will blog it soon. But tomorrow the focus is on a way to get to Simmons BBQ in Gurntersville, Alabama since Bridges in Shelby is out of reach. I got a shot at it, however, between now and middle of September.

Pray for me.

Do check my blog for Tribute to Momma, woulda been 90 July 6

Need a new topic, or two.

Dave, I have found the local market for both supply and interim work to be quite heavily overloaded with old dudes looking for such work. I attend two different minister's conferences. Both are filled with retired and semi-retired guys.
