Where have all the mild-mannered calvinists gone?

Some of you reading may remember the song 'where have all the cowboys gone' from 10 years ago. I am asking where have all the mild- mannered calvinists gone? It seems to me that those that are mild-manned calvinists are becoming fewer and fewer. I count Tim Keller, J.I. Packer, D.A, Carson, and Thomas Schreiner among those who are mild-mannered. I believe we need to defend biblical truth and the doctrines of grace. But I also believe that Arminian Christians will be in heaven as well as Calvinistic or reformed believers. Sonya reminds me of that from time to time. Many Calvinists are so hardcore they won't be in the same room with other Christians who differ with them on some things. John Piper is a great preacher and writer. I have learned much from him, more than any other modern auther on God's holiness and spirituality and qoute him from time to time from my pulpit. Check out his books Desiring God, The supremacy of God in Preaching, and Future Grace. He needs to remember that not everyone will agree with him. Not everyone agrees with me.I get criticized sometimes for using scripture too much in my sermons. And that's ok. John Piper, Mark Driscol, and myself need to remind ourselves to love others like Christ loves us even when they might not agree with us and disagree with what we believe. Piper and Driscoll have been used mightly by God and will continue to be used By God. I pray that we all would love others in Christ even when we don't see eye to eye on doctrine.
In Christ,
Pastor Josh Parrish, M.Div
