		<description><![CDATA[Definition of a Judaizer: One who teaches “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” (see Acts 15) The entire epistle of Galatians focuses on Paul’s defense of his ministry in the face of accusations from Judaizers who had infiltrated the early church and was deceiving people into thinking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I praised Michael Pearl&#8217;s article on &#8220;Cloistered Homeschool Syndrome&#8221; as a step in the right direction by someone who&#8217;s otherwise been associated with a very legalistic branch of the homeschooling community. Though he still remains a dispensationalist and a Pelagian, his statements criticizing the failure of the patriarchal movement were very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regular readers of my websites will know that I don&#8217;t consider myself to be any sort of fan of &#8220;homeschool guru&#8221; Michael Pearl. Nonetheless, I will give credit where credit is deserved, and in this case, Michael Pearl deserves credit for his series on the &#8220;Cloistered Homeschool Syndrome&#8221; and its &#8220;Patriarchal Dysfunctional Families.&#8221; In this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent discussion thread on Crossings (a discussion forum I periodically contribute to) the topic of not causing people to stumble, showing deference, and acting in love was discussed. This is based on my response in that thread. There can be varying definitions of &#8220;stumbling&#8221;. In the event that someone claims that those with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The institution of the family is one of the most basic building blocks of a society. But it is not the most basic level, as a family is a unit comprised of individuals. Yet today there are many who say that the family, not the individual, is the base unit of society. What is the [...]]]></description>

Closely related to the evangelical holiness movement, proponents of “higher life” teach that it is possible to achieve a state of complete sanctification [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple days ago I came across a posting on a discussion board I visit periodically in which the author expressed frustration with a couple particular elements of popular Christianity. Much of his post centered around apparent frustration with dispensational teachings (especially the &#8220;rapture&#8221;) and semi-Pelagianism (loss of salvation due to poor performance) &#8212; namely [...]]]></description>

Interesting read (recommended/agreed)&#8230; http://kimriddlebarger.squarespace.com/the-latest-post/2007/12/5/the-canons-of-dort-first-head-of-doctrine-article-1.html There&#8217;s quite a bit more on this element of the discussion (why American Christianity is so different from Christianity elsewhere) in the book Made In America by Michael Horton. Highly recommended. Quote from the Riddlebarger [...]]]></description>
