Was Toplady's hymn "Rock of Ages" a satirical swipe against the Wesley brothers? "Whereas most hymns have been written out of some deep personal need or experience, this hymn evidently was born in a spirit of passionate controversy."
Former Calvinist Bob Brewer shares the Good News.
A homeschooling mom stays Wesleyan, despite the peer pressure. Way to go!
Have you heard that American Christianity is on the decline? This article says maybe not. (HT: Peter Lumpkins).
Ben Witherington interviews N.T. Wright. This is well worth the read.

Hey, thank you for the link! That was very nice of you! A HUGE majority of the homeschooling world is Calvinist, most of the curriculum is as well. Kinda frustrating, but oh well, makes for some great learning experiences. :)
I would love your thoughts on N.T. Wright. I have only recently heard of him, am reading his book "Surprised by Hope."
Ha Ha. That previous post was by Holly Johnson, from Seekingfaithfulnessblog.com. I had to borrow my son's gmail acct to post. :)
Kev,
Your post on SEA today is hilarious. I don't know which is more funny, what YCs believe or the Arminian corollary! Great stuff.
Holly, My pleasure. Your post was very interesting.
Billy, Thanks, I had a lot of fun with that one. The "Arminian corollary" helps to soften it up a bit. :)
Holly, regarding N.T. Wright, I actually haven't any of his books. I've read some of his online essays, that's about it. He's on my to read list. So many authors and so little time! :)
Somewhat related, here are my thoughts on NPP: LINK
Kevin, I had to post a link to the SEA satire. It was too funny to pass up. Hope you didn't mind.
That's great Roy, thanks!
