Dear ISI’ers, I saved this back in March from a posting by Jay Guin to put in the blog sometime. I was impressed all over again reading it just now, refreshing my memory as to why I had saved it in my “need to post someday” folder. Have you ever spoken with someone like the [...] There’s not a lot for me to add to the plagiarized (well, it’s not plagiarized if I give credit to whom credit is due, right?) posting from Jay Guin except “Amen!” I especially appreciate his definition of legalism; I think it pretty much hammers that nail down. In Christ, Mark
Falling from Grace: Why [...] Sorry, don’t have much time to expound on this right now, but listen to this sermon (really more of a “talk”) when you get time! Why?

The title of a recent article in CHRISTIANITY: then & now caught my eye. The title [...] I’ve heard it said (somewhere — I don’t remember where) that the longest/oldest/continuous publication of the Restoration Movement is the CHRISTIAN STANDARD.

In fact, I read one yesterday called: Holding One’s Tongue [...] There is a fascinating (well, one man’s “fascinating” is another’s “bor-ingggg!”, but I think it’s fascinating) conversation going on over at http://graceconversation.com concerning (as you might expect) GRACE and how grace plays out (not the best choice of words I suppose) in our lives when we are mistaken about some doctrinal point or the other.
