If you have to order theological books online because no one at the Christian bookstore has ever heard of them… you might just be a Calvinist.

Ain't it the truth.

If you have ever purchased 100 or more copies of the same John Piper book to hand out to random people you meet …you just might be a Calvinist.

I have purchased cheap copies of "The Heidelberg" to give out. Think of it as an unusually large tract.

If you read “The Purpose Driven Life” just to see how bad the book really is… you might just be a Calvinist.

My copy of PDL sits on my "questionable to heretical" shelf, alonside Warren mentor Rob't Schuller's Self Esteem: The New Reformation, the Catholic Catechism, the Book o' Mormon, and some Marian apparition stuff. I'm keeping an eye out for Osteen and co.

If you purchased an MP3 player with the sole purpose of downloading sermons… you might be a Calvinist.

If you were shocked to just discover that some people download MP3 files that are not sermons… you might be a Calvinist.

And, I have the Luther movie on my player.

If your preacher says to turn to Obadiah and you do not use the index… you might be a Calvinist.

If your preacher has ever given a sermon on Nahum, ... (Yes, back in the day.)

If you find yourself wanting to read your Bible instead of watching television… you might be a Calvinist.

Not too difficult.

If your Bibles must be replaced in less than a year due to pages separating from the spine…you might be a Calvinist.

You would not believe how beat up the covers of my RSB got. To the duct tape stage in less than a year. Interior's fine. Spend the money to get something that's not glued together.

If you’ve ever been banned from a Sunday School class for quoting scripture… you might be a Calvinist.

It's possible I'm viewed as a troublemaker.

If you have ever purposefully sung a different word in a hymn to conform to scripture… you might be a Calvinist.

Osteen

If you have ever watched Joel Osteen on TV and you were just utterly speechless.....
