Christianity Today's weak article on Houston churches and Harvey [View all]
Article was posted on August 28. It mostly lists Houston churches' prayers and requests for volunteers from churches outside Houston.
The journal is a conservative Christian journal and is a favorite of The Gospel Coalition. TGC is a reformed (ie Calvinist) organisation with strong emphasis on pre-destination, God's complete and total sovreignity, and 'limited atonement.'* It dominates today's Evangelical church and is taking (or maybe has taken) over the Southern Baptist Convention. Many of its members signed the Nashville Statement.
*'Limited atonement' states that Jesus did NOT die for eveyone; he died only for those whom God before the beginning of the universe chose to be saved. So pray The Sinner's Prayer as often as you wish; if you're not predestined to be saved TOUGH.
IMO this belief directly contradicts John 3:16. Also I don't see how with this new belief the SBC can justify the time, money, and energy they want those in the pews to spend (ie waste) on missions and evangelization. But then I'm not the one banking the weekly tithes and offerings.
