Interesting. I’ve been out all day and your comment was the first I heard of it.

So Macdonald resigns from The Gospel Coalition. Does that mean the “Hold On!” moment really took hold with these men? Very interesting days in conservative evangelicalism.

Since we’re talking about changes, I think you meant “alter call”.

Thanks Jon. That theme just came as I typed. All you need now is a touching stanza of poetry to close and the altar call and you are a bonafide Fundamentalist. ;)

Brian, thanks for the comments. You are right about being misunderstood. That may be, in part, because too many separatists have behaved uncharitably, and others get tarred with the same brush. Mostly, though, it is simply because we have an adversary that sows confusion.

Lou, maybe I’ll preach that some day. Discovering, Discerning, Deciding, Doing. :) Some of these men, I believe, are in the discovering/discerning phase. What they will do remains to be seen. Speaking out is a good start, but only a start.

Don:

Thanks for hosting Jon to bless and encourage us with this article. Jon, it boils down to these men discovering and discerning what God would have His own do and then deciding to do what He commands.

Thanks,

Lou

Thanks Jon, greatly appreciated that insight in your walk with the Lord and how you and Don have at some point sought to be consistent with Scriptures and were willing to make direction changes based on those Scriptures. It’s never easy and we are most often misunderstood, but they are necessary in our walk with the Lord. Indeed, I would like to see these men move in the right direction as they grapple with these issues and pray that they will.
