Clarifying, One, Two, Three
Spelling things out for us:

• The gospel, says D. A. Carson is all about what God has done.

  Failure to distinguish between the gospel and all the effects of the gospel tends, on the long haul, to replace the good news as to what God has done with a moralism that is finally without the power and the glory of Christ crucified, resurrected, ascended, and reigning.

  Read the whole piece to find out more about this distinction. (Themelios)
• Is Hell separation from God’s presence? (Against Heresies) You’ve heard
• The authorship of evil (Triablogue) The subject’s come up here recently. These remarks by Steve Hayes are helpful for those thinking about God’s relationship to sin and evil.
