“Team free will 2.0”*
by chuckofish
I always read the NYT obituaries. They let us know when the famous, as well as some pretty obscure people, pass away. However, they failed to note the death of one of the giants of reformed Christianity–R.C. Sproul last week.
I guess they are unwilling to acknowledge evangelicals even when their leaders die. Sigh. As you know, I am a member of one of the most liberal denominations out there, but I can appreciate a man like Sproul for his devotion to the Bible and his passionate belief in salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ based on Scripture alone for the glory of God alone. (AMEN) Shame on the NYT for the umpteenth time.
While we are on the subject of obituaries, here is the 2017 TCM Remembers video:

This annual video is always a sad reminder of those familiar faces who have passed out of this world, but who will forever remain on film.
On a cheerier note, here is a new rendition of a familiar Christmas carol. We sing this spiritual at our church and never get it right. But I like this version.
Tomorrow I start my own personal winter break and I can’t wait!

Gosh, so many recognizable faces in the TCM Remembers video this year 😦
But at least you followed that up with the best Christmas song on the radio!
xo.
Boo to the stupid NYT 😦 How typical. Thanks for noting Mr. Sproul’s passing as well as posting the TCM Remembers video. And of course it’s always nice to get a Dean Winchester quote and pic!
Pretty week song choice for the TCM Remembers video. Big year too. They’re always so well done, though.
Is that Katy Perry? 2007 was the best song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV0BaUWxw5k
