Beware, Or You Too May Be – Left Below! (When the Simpsons and Harold Camping Collide)

Last updated on: October 17, 2011 at 12:07 pm By Kurt Willems

Leave it to Homer Simpson to help us understand the “end times” better. Beware, or you too may be – Left Below! This warning filled our TV screens, our newspapers, and our digital news feeds. The world watched as people quit their jobs, gave all their money to advertising the rapture, and traveled throughout the world to spread the message of May 21, 2011. Through various internal mathematical calculations, Harold Camping and followers, convinced themselves that they could predict the... Read more

Can You Lose Your Salvation? Greg Boyd and Mark Driscoll in Dialogue

Last updated on: May 1, 2014 at 5:08 pm By Kurt Willems

This is the age old question: Can a person lose their salvation? Of course, two broad schools of thought emerge in theological discourse. On one end of the spectrum are the 5.5 point Calvinists (not really sure what the .5 is all about). This is representative of Mark Driscoll’s perspective (and basically most of the Gospel Coalition folks). This group of thinkers believe that God not only preordains all things (yep, every last event in world history) but that God... Read more

Matt Chandler Impersonates Mark Driscoll’s Evangelistic Style

Last updated on: October 12, 2011 at 3:57 pm By Kurt Willems

Watch this and enjoy. Please don’t make this a Driscoll bashing session. I may not resonate with most much of what Mark has to say or some of his methods, but I don’t want to make this an us vs “the new calvinists” post. This is… well… just hilarious. Read more

The World is Cracked and Maybe That’s Just the Way it is

Last updated on: October 11, 2011 at 1:46 am By Kurt Willems

A few years ago I was on my way to a speaking engagement in LA. While I drove over the Grapevine, I saw an object moving rapidly toward my windshield. Before I could figure out what was flying toward my car, I heard the impact… “ding!” The object struck the bottom right hand side of my windshield and left a small crack. Before long, the crack started climbing across my windshield, until an arc shaped horizontal line went all the... Read more

Drive Thru Evangelism – The case of the old bait and switch

Last updated on: October 6, 2011 at 10:48 am By Kurt Willems

I wonder if you have any thoughts on this video? My thoughts: 1) Tracts, in themselves, are terrible representations of the Gospel and make Christians look silly. 2) Tracts tend to focus on “getting a soul saved” with the assumption that hell, damnation, and rapture are imminent. This is dualist at best, and escapist at worst. (more…) Read more
