Can the 'Doctrines of Grace' be Overemphasized?
Dr. John Piper is known as the one of the leaders in the modern resurgence of neo-Calvinism. He is asked if he overemphasizes the so-called 'doctrines of grace' (Calvinism). His answer presents several points worthy of discussion, the paramount of which is the motive behind making God's glory manifest. The question is whether Calvinism's worldview is the best systematic in bringing the greatest glory to our God.

Are Consistent Calvinists Real Christians?
Tony Miano recently apologized for his offensive comments regarding Michael Brown not being saved (kind of) and the Bible Thumping Wingnuts, Len, Andrew and Tim, address this on their show. In their discussion, the old ACCUSATION of MISREPRESENTATION (i.e "you are ignorant of my view") was leveled toward me. I unpack why this strawman fallacy and accusations of it will always continue in these types of discussions. I also agree with Tim and Len regarding Jeff Durbin's avoidance tactics...and give another example of Jeff's unwillingness to engage the real debate with those who disagree.
Remember brethren, we can disagree with each other and be respectful while doing it! Let's dive in!
