Wild Emu ends with successful capture. I have never read a news article with so many adjectives, metaphors, and similes that have nothing to do with the actual news item itself. Hilarious.
Sheila Dover, an animal rescuer who normally handles dogs and cats, had shown up along with a guy she knows who helps her sometimes named Billy Grayson. Dover carried corn in a bucket to try to lure the emu, and Grayson wore a rope thick as a boa constrictor around his neck that almost covered up Grayson’s Olympic Gold Medal-sized mullet.
In all, Whosoever Will is a helpful addition to the discussion on Calvinism within the SBC. The book would have been stronger had the contributors engaged in some healthy self-criticism of the pitfalls and tendencies of the non-Calvinist position. But even as it is, it deserves a hearing from Calvinists and non-Calvinists alike. You may disagree with the point of view presented here, and that’s fine. But at least you will have listened to the arguments from others who love the Lord and seek the good of his church.
Christianity Today weighs in on the “blogger controversy” surrounding Liberty’s Ergun Caner. A good article, but I would like to see Caner and the University answer specific accusations. Of note in this article is Elmer Towns’ assertion that this somehow revolves around Calvinism/anti-Calvinism debates in the SBC.
Critics say Caner has either been ambiguous or unresponsive to their requests for answers when they have pointed out discrepancies, and that exaggerated or untruthful remarks have been expunged from his sites. They say Caner must answer charges openly and publicly if the issue is to be resolved.
Albert Mohler weighs in on news of a British preacher arrested for proclaiming that homosexuality is a sin.
He was arrested under Britain’s “Public Order Act,” which, the paper reports, “has been used to arrest religious people in a number of similar cases.” The law allows the arrest and prosecution of anyone who, with intent to harass or cause harm, uses “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.”
