The Tulip Driven Life

By: Thomas F. Booher The Reformed church is dying at the feet of Wokeback Mountain, and some prominent ministers are beginning to erect high places on Wokeback Mountain. If you told me ten years ago, when I first became a flame-throwing, cage-stage Calvinist, or even several years later after I matured a bit, that this is where we would be at the end of 2018, I would not have believed you. The Reformed church has been cowed by the culture, especially the homosexual culture and the so-called racial reconciliation movement. The Revoice conference put this on the map for homosexuality, and the MLK 50 conference did the same for racial issues, but make no mistake, these things didn't just pop out of the ground overnight.

Or that everyone, conservative and liberal alike, is jumping on board? Don’t misunderstand me, I would hope that a Hitler-esque person like Kony would evoke the wrath of someone as vile as even Puff Daddy. I hope that Kony is executed ...

REFORMATION BIBLE COLLEGE FINAL PAPER THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE THEOLOGY GOSPEL AND ACTS BY THOMAS BOOHER SANFORD, FLORIDA DECEMBER, 2011                 Social justice is a term thrown around quite often today, in both religious and secular circles. It has recently received nation-wide media attention with Glenn Beck and Jim Wallis sparring with one another- Beck telling churchgoers to leave any church which uses the term “social justice” due to it being a perversion of the gospel, Wallis arguing that many churches, including evangelical and protestant, see social justice as central to the gospel. [1] Few, if any, in this debate deny that God is a just God, nor do many argue that we should not be striving for justice. What Beck sees as comm...
