Replanting a Denomination: Moser and Tidwell, Part 3
3. What was Moser’s view of the work of the indwelling Spirit? While I have no writings of Greg’s in which he affirms a personal indwelling of the Spirit, my understanding is that this is his view, and that appears … Continue reading

Replanting a Denomination: Moser and Tidwell, Part 2
2. Does Greg agree with Moser? I don’t think so. Here’s an article by Greg for Forthright magazine, “Know the Time” (May 9, 2002). Worship is changing. Congregations bring in all manner of deviance, pandering to every selfish whim. Entertainment replaces … Continue reading

In the Mood … Final Reflections on Alabama’s National Championship
I miss football already. I mean, there are no more college football games to look forward to until August! (Is this an addiction? Do I need professional help?) I have the good fortune of knowing many Texas fans. They have … Continue reading
Pepperdine
Well, the mail came the other day, and I just got my copy of the brochure for the Pepperdine lecturships. And lo and behold there was my preacher, Shon Smith, listed at the keynote speaker! He’d been keeping it quiet, … Continue reading
Replanting a Denomination: Resurrection and Paranoia
