Some of you might possibly be interested in this interview concerning the Federal Vision I did with the Christ the Center group. I tried to be as basic as possible, answering the questions about what the FV is, and what its dangers are. I hope that it might serve as a primer on the FV.

I can see how you might think that way.

Looking forward to listening to it while driving tomorrow.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

In Lane's greeting, the Texan accent, I heard.

Youse guys Germans all, must be. Discourteous to his verbs, the German is. At the end of the sentence, placed they are. Thankful to all who listen to my interview, I be.

Very informative!

Thanks for posting.

I'm listening now. Very interesting and informative.

Have you gotten any kind of feedback about the show from any FV proponents. Just wondering if they agree that what was said is a good characterization of their beliefs (or do you "misunderstand" what they believe)?

Not yet. I imagine the reactions will be mixed. Some will say I have some things right. Very few (if any) will say I have all of them right. Some of them (probably most) will be happy that I am basing my overall picture of the FV on their joint statement.

Downloaded did I. "Do or do not, there is no try." Easy it was. Thanks, Mr. Greenbaggins.

I found it a very interesting discussion and agree with your final comments, I hope that the FV will take your constructive suggestion on board that they worship apart for the sake of unity. It will also then help them get there own house in order and retain their many biblical aspects and ditch the few hetrodox extreme positions that a few FV individuals take and which seem to go unchallanged because of their siege mentality.

Thanks Lane. Da Man You Are.

The music at the beginning made me think of NPR.... What do you know?
