I think one of the devil\u2019s tactics with respect to the church on the Right today is to make them so hate everybody else that at the end of the day they can\u2019t be believed anywhere, not even the proclamation of the gospel. (D.A. Carson from his lecture on Revelation in 2005, quoted briefly\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sbcvoices.com\/d-a-carson-on-angry-christians-and-the-devils-tactics\/\">here<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>by Richard Shin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My, my&#8230; It has been<em>\u00a0<\/em>another very busy week in the blogosphere. Shall we?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember the video I linked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/?p=5855\">last week<\/a> on why the TGC is complementarian? Well, the discussion clearly did not end there. Carl Trueman, a leading figure in evangelicalism, was also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reformation21.org\/blog\/2012\/08\/confused-by-complementarianism.php\" class=\"broken_link\">curious<\/a> as to why the TGC is unwaveringly complementarian but agnostic to the baptism and Lord&#8217;s Supper debate. And then Denny Burk responded with a defense <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dennyburk.com\/how-important-is-complementarianism-a-response-to-carl-trueman\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0(with many links embedded in the article itself). And around the same time, Carl Trueman posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reformation21.org\/blog\/2012\/08\/the-anticonan.php\" class=\"broken_link\">this<\/a>. Justin Taylor also has a couple links <a href=\"http:\/\/thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2012\/08\/28\/how-important-is-complementarianism\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Some call it the Young, Restless, Reformed (YRR) movement. Some call it the New Calvinism.

Tim Challies added <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/articles\/where-did-the-new-calvinism-come-from\">his two cents<\/a>\u00a0on the Internet&#8217;s contribution and then Taylor came back with another <a href=\"http:\/\/thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2012\/08\/29\/the-rise-of-new-calvinism-the-internet-and-two-other-factors\/\">two cents<\/a> (that&#8217;s four).<\/li>\n<li>The term &#8220;gospel-centered&#8221; has become a household label for everything that we seek to do.

The provocations are numerous. The cause of sinful anger is singular\u2014it is always our heart.&#8221; Read the whole thing by Paul Tautges <a href=\"http:\/\/counselingoneanother.com\/2012\/08\/29\/false-causes-of-anger\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t already subscribe to Al Mohler&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertmohler.com\/category\/blog\/\" class=\"broken_link\">blog<\/a>, you&#8217;re really missing out.
