Killing Calvinism: How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Theology from the Inside

As “insiders” of the Calvinist resurgence, there are at least eight ways we can mess everything up.


-By loving calvinism as an end in itself


-By becoming theologians instead of disciples


-By loving God’s sovereignty more than God himself


-By losing an urgency in evangelism -By refusing to learn from non-Calvinists


-By tidying up the Bible’s “loose ends”


-By being a bunch of arrogant know-it-alls


-By scoffing at the emotional hang-ups others have with Calvinism.”
