A Couple of Updates

It seems that Phil Johnson, the Executive Director of Grace To You is getting quite a bit of airtime lately answering questions and being interviewed about Dr. John MacArthur’s ongoing series of articles on the Young, Restless, Reformed [YRR] movement. Phil will be appearing on Todd Friel’s radio show, “Wretched with Todd Friel” today [August 18, 2011] at 3:00 PM EST [12:00 noon PST] to discuss Dr. MacArthur’s series. You may listen live here or check in at the Grace To You blog after the interview to listen on demand.

Phil is a very good spokesman for Dr. MacArthur as he has worked with him for a great many years now and has edited a number of Dr. MacArthur’s books. He also has a good grasp of all things theological. This should be a good interview.

In a somewhat related note, Phil posted an article on his Team Pyro/Pyromaniacs website on Monday of this week detailing the rather outrageous claim of already outrageous Mark Driscoll that the Holy Spirit gives him visions of people engaged in sin [mostly sexual sin]. As Phil put it, Driscoll claims to have a TV in his head where he watches smut provided by, as he claims, the Holy Spirit. Driscoll has a great many fans, so it is no surprise that a number of them have come to his defense. Phil responds in this article to several of those and exposes the weaknesses in their respective positions. It is a good read.
