He a bit on the extreme edge of the Reformed world, his work has probably had its day.

InspiredHome · May 18, 2013

Extreme? No. Biblically consistent? Yes. His work is actually picking up. I am blessed for have discovered him.

What do you base that on?

InspiredHome · May 18, 2013

Talking with people in Reformed circles. It's slow but steady. Not many people are even aware of who he was. I didn't even know just a few years ago. I'm not saying I agree with him 100 % on everything but I do agree he was trying to be biblically consistent in his worldview which is sorely lacking in Christendom today. I've introducted a few people to his works.

What do you find so convincing about it?

InspiredHome · May 18, 2013

That the Scriptures are a priority. I grew up in an Arminian church. It was Sunday go through the motions and the rest of the week the people lived out a humanistic worldview. The whole ministry of Chalcedon focuses on applying biblical principles to all of life and encourages living out a consistently biblical worldview. This is so refreshing.

How do you know how to apply biblical principles to all of life? Do we need to understand the text in its context?

Of course.

Rush who? Never heard of him.

Osage Bluestem · May 18, 2013

I've listened to Rush Limbaugh quite a bit.

Of course.

Would you describe yourself as a reconstructionist or theonomist?

InspiredHome · May 19, 2013

Both. Neither are mutually exclusive.

Oddly the site doesn't say much about him.

I know, I was using synonyms!

So which OT laws still apply, and how do you know?
