					<description><![CDATA[Does Billy Graham have a successor as the world’s leading Christian evangelist? I was asked that recently. Or is there another evangelical after Graham who can lead evangelicals? Billy Graham stood for decades as the premier evangelical, setting the ethos for evangelicals of all denominations. His influence was tremendous. Even non-Christians admired him. What does [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m so very proud of many of my former students. I couldn’t begin to mention them all. Many have achieved great heights in academia and in pastoral ministry. I hear from some of them from time to time and am always happy to hear from them. Few have achieved what Adam Hamilton has achieved. And [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[According to researcher and cultural analyst George Barna most don’t. That is, only about four percent do have a biblical-Christian worldview. Barna is widely acknowledged as one of the best researchers of American Christianity. So what do most American Christians have? He says a syncretist worldview, one made up of pieces of worldviews, most not [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Actually, I believe traditional, classical Calvinism has several “Achilles Heels.” Here I will expose one of them. I am talking about true, not revisionist Calvinism as represented by John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, Loraine Boettner, R. C. Sproul, and John Piper. All of those and other classical Calvinist emphasize two points (among others) about [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let me remind you that what I write here is often my “theological musings.” Not everything is intended to convince. So, don’t take what follows as doctrine. Yes, God saves everyone he can. Actually, Christians have always agreed about that. Calvinists agree even though they limit God’s saving action to those he foreordained, the “elect.” [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thoughts about Halloween We are approaching the date of our new American national holiday: October 31, Halloween. Of course, it’s not really a “national holiday” in any formal or legal sense; schools, banks and government offices don’t close on October 31. By “new national holiday” I mean that, in recent years, what used to be [&#8230;]]]></description>
