Du Jour: Mark Dever has posted a powerful quote from Richard Sibbes. “We cannot live long in this world. We owe God a death. We owe nature a death. The sentence of death is passed upon us…”

Theology: Mike answers those who feel Charles Spurgeon was not a Calvinist. “After wading through all the misinformation and dissimulating rhetoric coming from the Caners, one more thing has surfaced regarding Ergun Caner’s treatment of Spurgeon.”
