Continuing On...

So it's a bit lazy to simply link to someone else's post, but it's sure easy when it comes to formatting.  Today I've linked to a post at the Contemporary Calvinist regarding John Piper's view on the continuation of spiritual gifts.  For those who care, I am a gentle continuationist (please note that is spelled differently than charismaniac).  By gentle, I mean that I'm not disposed to argue until I'm blue in the face about it, which might actually be mistaken for not caring that much.  But I do. 

Anywho. 

I've come to appreciate (what I deem to be) measured, well-thought-out, and balanced perspectives in favor of continuationism from a Reformed/Calvinistic viewpoint.  I think Piper (et al.) does a good job with it.

You can read all about it right here. And I hope you will.

there's actually 2 more (don't know if you saw those), but indeed, these were fantastic.

i sent them to everyone in our home fellowship last week...just about the perfect balance. our group lands across a pretty broad spectrum on these matters, and think this was encouraging for all.
