Don, thanks for writing this post, I really loved reading it. The podcast I'm on, CaffeinatedFaith.com has taken some heat from people in the "reformed" camp. I continue to read the scriptures and see Jesus & Paul talking about loving your neighbor, and even Paul stating of Christ in Philippians 2:5-8 that Christ "made himself nothing" and became a slave...and here we have pharisees, yet again, coming out of the woodwork to exercise their spiritual gift of criticism...and then we see 2 Timothy 2:14-16 (ESV of course LOL!)

Anywho, I appreciate what you wrote! Hope you have a great weekend brotha!
