Hyper-Calvinism

On the heels of Tuesday’s post about Reformed theology…

Tim Challies today takes up the issue of Hyper-Calvinism… What it is, what it isn’t, why it’s wrong -i.e., “it undermines evangelism and/or somehow distorts the gospel message.” Amen.

Bonus random thought: I sometimes think that Calvinists and Arminians are both guilty of the exact same issue with regard to sharing the Gospel – the fear of man. They just confront the fear differently – Calvinists fail to evangelize as much as they should, while Arminians evangelize, but with a seriously weakened or even broken evangel.

    Spurgeon’s reaction against Hyper-Calvinism is well-documented in Iain Murray’s “The Forgotten Spurgeon”.
