With the formation of the Gospel Coalition, recently covered in Christianity Today, Tim Keller, the pastor who almost single-handedly redirected church-planting strategy in the PCA, appears to have severed his ties to his Presbyterian communion.
How else should we interpret his involvement in the Gospel Coalition. Co-founded by such evangelical heavyweights as D. A. Carson [...]

Posted in Misc. on October 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A new issue of our R. P. pastoral journal will be available next week. The theme is “Church Office”, and here is a preview of the main articles:
Portrait of a Pastor, Daniel R. Hyde;
Stepping Back, Christopher Wright;
Office in Christ’s Church, David J. Reese.
These last two articles address the presbyterian controversy of “two-office” versus “three-office”.
You won’t [...]

ISI Regional Leadership Conference will be coming to Louisville, KY next Saturday (Oct. 20)
DRC boasts many fans of Kentucky’s farmer/poet/agrarian champion Wendell Berry. If you live near Louisville be sure to stop by….
If you do, be sure to say hello to the DRC’s own Darryl G. Hart who will be giving a lecture entitled [...]
Obama’s Postmillenial Dream
Posted in Conservatism, Spirituality of the Church on October 8, 2007 | 14 Comments »
Talk about immanentizing the eschaton… a scary vision of the Kingdom.
With Republican candidates struggling to make headway among evangelicals it would not be surprising to see 2008 as the year of the Christian left.
How can people who reject all historic forms and tradition on Sunday not drift leftward the other six days? The world [...]
Thanks for a Great Discussion

For nearly three weeks the DRC has been home to a great discussion. I want to thank all of our contributors for participating and all our readers for reading.
May the Lord bless these conversations as the NAPARC community continues to try to wrestle with the difficult questions raised by the present controversy.
Saints in the Hands of an Arbitrary God?

In the previous post Dr. Hart warned us about being pastoral. Fine. I’ll skip over what I believe are mischaracterizations in your last post (e.g., FVers don’t take the fall seriously) and get to the heart of the issue. We’ve talked enough about IAOC, so how about election?
I’ve been a pastor for over twenty years. [...]
If It’s Not Broken . . .

Maybe the discussion is over but I’ll make one last comment. Two weeks ago we started with the question of what in the Reformed tradition was in need of fixing and how FV was trying to do this. Most recently we have been debating IAOC as one of the specific points that FV [...]
The Sufficiency of Christ
Posted in Federal Vision on October 4, 2007 | 10 Comments »
Before you go Doug (and others) maybe you could help with one last question. I am still trying to figure out FV’s rejection of the imputation of the active obedience of Christ (IAOC). The FV Statement on-line says that Christ is all in all and that his work is credited to us. [...]
Back for the wrap up!

Hello happy bloggers. It is good to be back to civilization. Sorry to have missed to much fun. I will have some catchup reading to do. I am not married to dates. I was thinking today was the end but Rev. Brown has noted that things do not officially end [...]
Hold Your Horses!

I know there has been confusion over when this forum will end. It is my understanding that this discussion of the FV is slated to end on October 5–this Friday. If any of our guest participants can’t continue on after today, we’ll certainly understand. I apologize for this confusion, and also for the fact that [...]
