To do list: sign up for RTM

One of the apps I love and use daily is Remember the Milk. In short, it's a to-do list manager that syncs across a variety of platforms. I use it on my pc and my android phone. 

Today RTM added some nice upgrades to their software. So if you're not a RTM user and you need a good task manager, now's the time to sign up. 

I recommend paying for a pro account ($25/yr) but you can get along with the free version until you think it's necessary to upgrade.

Horton on 'The King Jesus Gospel'

There is a very thorough review posted by Michael Horton of Scot McKnight's new book Reflections on The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited. Horton has a lot of good things to say about this work, though he does express some legitimate concerns. In general though, Horton says about McKnight's book, "this is a great starter for some remarkably important conversations."

Carson & Keller Have Boundary Issues

There is a great post from D. A. Carson and Tim Keller on The Gospel Coalition site today discussing the boundaries of evangelicalism. The post is related to the ongoing discussion related to James MacDonald and The Elephant Room (cf. DB).


As Carson and Keller state, part of the problem is that we tend to  ask the wrong question when faced with these "boundary" issues.

"Sometimes this way of thinking leads to hopelessly bad questions such as, "What is the least I must believe in order to be called an evangelical?"---the answer to which often generates reductionistic approaches to evangelism and horribly emaciated lowest-common-denominator versions of the gospel. Why not rather ask, "How can I give a theologically rich definition of evangelicalism that faithfully reflects the whole counsel of God?" Worse, inside the boundary there is so little agreed tough-minded confessionalism that love for the truth and a deep knowledge of the Bible and historical and systematic theology are rarely encouraged."

p.s. - I'm really looking forward to more of what Carson has to say on the topic when his book Evangelicalism is finally released.

Mohler on Mormonism

Albert Mohler (albertmohler.com) doesn't shy away from controversial topics, and I for one am glad he doesn't. While I don't always agree with everything he says or how he says it, his post are always well thought out and clearly written. Yesterday he tackled the hot topic of Mormonism as it relates to biblical Christianity.

"It is neither slander nor condescension to state clearly that Mormonism is not Christianity. Taking Mormonism on its own terms, one finds a comprehensive set of teachings and doctrines that are self-consciously set against historic Christianity. The larger world may be confused about this, but biblical Christians cannot make this error, for we are certain that the consequences are eternal."
