Did a Radio Free Geneva today reviewing this video by Bob Wilkins on Calvinists and assurance. Since he mentioned me by name, seemed appropriate to revisit this important issue.

Did a bit of an impromptu program tonight with most of the students from the early church history class I am teaching at GBTS in Conway today. Thankful for these men!
