On his blog Reformedish, Derek Rishmawy gives his thoughts on Gabe Martini’s Eastern Orthodox commentary on the current sanctification debate swirling in the Reformed world (and especially The Gospel Coalition).

Gathercole says that the main thesis of PFG is: […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about repentance these days. I question the seasons I encounter as my life changes. Sometimes my repentance comes daily, other times the weeks go by so fast I find myself in the pew again on Sunday morning beginning our corporate time of worship, “Okay, Lord, seven days just flew by!” […]
