John Immel on Liberty as an Achievement

Posted in Uncategorized by Andy Young, PPT contributing editor on September 9, 2016

This clip is from John Immel’s 2nd session at the 2016 Conference on Gospel Discernment and Spiritual Tyranny.  John is commenting on the uniqueness of liberty as an achievement and what separates western thought from the rest of the world.

Saving the Sheep with Doctrine

Posted in Uncategorized by Andy Young, PPT contributing editor on September 1, 2016

J.I. Packer would probably be one of those who would fall under the “confused Protestant” or “sanctified Calvinist” camp.  Such would be the conclusion reading the quote below since it requires the reader to assume a different meaning than what he is clearly saying.

J.I. Packer save the sheep with doctrine

  – Believers (Christ’s sheep) need saving

  – Believers are saved listening to doctrinal preaching (one of the “means of grace”)

  – The distinction between saved and unsaved (if any) is ambiguous.

  – There is the implication of Calvin’s doctrine of the three classes of “elect”.

No, don’t ask any questions.  That just proves your pride and arrogance.  Just continue to humbly submit to your elders, show up on time when the doors of church are open, put your tithe in the offering plate, and join us all in uttering a deep and hearty “AAAaaaa-men!” at the profound wisdom of these men of God!

Conforming to the Group – Is This Why It’s So Hard for Christians to Leave the Institutional Church?

Posted in Uncategorized by Andy Young, PPT contributing editor on August 31, 2016

This is perhaps one of the most profound social experiment videos I’ve witnessed.  Notice how quickly a newcomer not only feels compelled to conform to the group but also trains others to do the same.  What is really scary is that they have no idea why they are doing it either.  And there is no force of authority other than simply observing the behavior of others!

Now couple that with a power of an authority figure, and you might have an explanation for why it is so hard for people to leave the institutional church – they have been conditioned into a particular behavior!
