You are absolutely right. The issue seems to be raging across evangelicalism. I understand that it’s not enough to simply say, “Can’t we all just love Jesus and get along.” Much of ‘loving Jesus’ is knowing him through his Word and loving his actions as it applies to the church and the world.

There will always be disagreements until King Jesus thunderously returns… I only pray these many conversations can be done humbly and without much tension.

I’m the worship leader at an AoG church that had a reformed pastor up until 6 months ago. We just elected a new pastor about 2 weeks ago who is decidedly “un”-reformed, quite possibly anti-Calvinist…which is going to make for interesting conversations.

(I’ve always preferred Reformed to “Calvinism”…either way, Spurgeon says it’s just a nickname for “truth”)
