Theology in the News

Though I have not always seen eye-t0-eye with Phil Johnson, I have visited his blog for years and always appreciated many characteristics he brings to discussions. For many years, he has been at the lead of one of the most controversial and well-visited of all the Christian blogs in the world: Pyromaniacs (or TeamPyro as they came to be called once Frank and Dan were invited to join). But Phil, due to time constrains and health stewardship, has decided to quit blogging. In his words:

Thursday my doctor confirmed what I was beginning to think: I need to cut out everything non-essential in my life that causes stress without giving me any cardiovascular benefit. I hate when geriatric patients recite the details of their medical reports, so let’s just say that the doctor was serious: It’s time for me to stop burning the candle at both ends. Darlene emphatically affirmed that diagnosis. Everyone who loves me is likewise in hearty agreement.

So: (gladly, with no reluctance whatsoever) I’m officially retiring from blogging, social media, and every other activity that intrudes on things that ought to be the real priorities in the final two decades of a man’s life.

I appreciate Phil and thank him for the time he spend on his blog and look forward to continuing to see his life make an impact for the body of Christ.
