		<description><![CDATA[We say morality and mean "Don't cuss, smoke or chew or have sex with those who do."  We think it an extraordinary moral stand to put on our Puritan hats and boycott movies that mention testicles.  We get agitated when someone is blunt, but conciliatory when tyrants advocate all manner of despotism.  We can stab each other in the eye as long as we smile and heaven forefend the victim complain about ill treatment with any passion.

		<description><![CDATA[It is the cry of many hearts in the blogosphere that SGM reform.   Many of you hope that the leadership in that bunch takes a good long look in the mirror and says "Eureka!"  or "John Calvin!" or "I could have had a V-8" or whatever they are inclined to say when they discover a thought not found in Sin and Temptation.

This assumes they like mirrors, which in my cynical olderness, I'm inclined to think not so much.   Or maybe better said, they do look in the mirror, mirror, on the wall, and it affirms that they are the Fairest Wretch of them all.   They knew they were wretched; they saw what they expected so how can they be faulted for seeing their failings and therefore are utterly qualified to persist?

You KNOW the stories.

So here is the question: where are YOU?  Puckering up at the SGM backside?]]></description>

No… let me amend. The short answer to why does Sovereign Grace Ministries claim Reformed Status is stone cold, stark terror.  

What are they afraid of?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What important things? 

Hummm... protecting the prophesy mic and making sure that those who want to preach on my blog are subject to my good pleasure.  I am a blog tyrant, and many of you are tyrants in training like Timothy.  You need that oversight.  

As one dear brother in the faith Larry Tomczak put it:  "Faulty foundations are also beginning to give way in the Body of Christ. Christians are discover­ing that one source of the cracks is a lack of recognizing foundational apostolic/ prophetic ministry. Many are realizing today they can't ignore God's pat­tern for building his church "...having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone" (Eph. 2:20)." ]]></description>

The following kind of intellectual and spiritual tyranny, which divides husband and wife for the cause of doctrine is despicable. ]]></description>
