I’m a Special Kind of Worm
Suffice it to say that I have many Facebook “friends” who are unabashedly reformed in their theology. As a result I am constantly bombarded with status updates in my newsfeed like this one:
Blech! This is so dripping with syruppy arrogance it makes me sick.
See, there are two things about posts like this that just irritate me to no end. Aside from the tacit tip of the the hat to the doctrine of total depravity, it is just outright self-promotion under a very poorly-executed pretense of self-deprecation.
And Christians wonder why the unsaved find Christians so offensive…

Paul's Passing Thoughts 
Well, I can’t take credit for it. That was actually Paul’s response when he and I were discussing it this morning. But I thought it was appropriate.

Actually his comment reveals the depth of his depravity because it illustrates the depth of his delusion. How can he possibly know if God is using him? God is not using him because as Calvin made very very clear, there is NO human agency anywhere, anyplace anytime.

There’s a special kind of irony to that!

Al Mohler has stated that elders are God’s preordained servants to save His people from ignorance. How do we know they were pre-chosen? Does God post it on His blog? No, God’s choosing is confirmed by them going to seminary and buying an orthodoxy certificate. So like, if you want to have God’s authority on earth, go to seminary. Hey, who doesn’t want the power to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell? Can I be perfectly honest here? I want to share exactly how I look at Reformed elders like MacArthur et al. I want to sahre what they all remind me of. Does anybody remember Bagdad Bob?
