Rob Sivulka explains why Shawn McCraney is a Modalist/Heretic
Christian apologist Rob Sivulka (Courageous Christians United) breaks down the reasons for identifying Shawn McCraney as a heretic in this article. It is important to keep in mind that the terms "heretic" and "modalist" are not an insult (as McCraney claims). They are terms of identification on the basis of the theological view McCraney himself admits to holding.
Shawn McCraney is a Heretic and Needs Adult Supervision
The title should clue you in that Rob has a sense of humor (I can personally attest to that). This article was originally written in 2014 during the controversy when McCraney was becoming vocal about his belief in Modalism

Jason Wallace defends Sandra Tanner against Shawn McCraney's attacks
For those who had followed a previous iteration of this blog the name Shawn McCraney should ring a bell. He is the host of a B quality television show who came out as a modalist about 3 years ago (you can find videos of him calling the doctrine of the trinity "garbage"). I just saw a post in my Facebook feed from pastor Jason Wallace (OPC pastor in Utah) which indicates McCraney has been attacking Tanner for personal attacks (which, if you know Sandra, is simply insane) and for "hanging out with Calvinists."
Whatever credibility McCraney has left over after outing himself as a heretic will likely be gone when you finish watching his advertisement for his TV Show, re-branded with a "2.0". The wig and what looks like a dress creeped me out. The fact that he went to a half-dozen churches in the Salt Lake City region to film this makes me worry.

Wil Wheaton engages in Prayer Shaming after Texas Church Shooting
Atheists are attacking Christians for praying for the families, friends and communities of people affected by gun violence. The most recent example has come in the wake of the shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Celebrities have began engaging in what is being called “prayer shaming,” openly mocking prayer as a response to violence and tragedy.
One recent example is Wil Wheaton who tweeted the following in response to a call for prayers from Paul Ryan.
Wheaton would eventually delete the tweet and speak as though this was a call for a single politician to enact legislation rather than a general attack on prayer. Anyone who is able to read will understand what he wrote.
Atheists would love to shame prayer so much that this activity gets pushed to the periphery of society. This is something Christians can not allow to happen. I will be continuing to pray for those impacted by the shootings, and for those critical of prayer to have a change of heart.
Jesus tells us that we "ought always to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1). And Paul tells the church of the Thessalonians to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17). These examples are representative. If the question is "when is it appropriate to pray?" the answer is "always."
Wheaton may want to consider Lazarus. Jesus prayed to the Father for those effected by Lazarus' death before raising him back to life (John 11:38-44). Prayer matters. Prayer works. Prayer is not just an appropriate response, but the most important response to tragedy.

Texas Shooter was an Atheist who thought Christians were Stupid
Reports are beginning to surface which indicate that Devin Patrick Kelley was an outspoken atheist with an agenda against Christians.
The Daily Mail reports that
There must be some kind of connection between his negative opinion of Christians and his choice of location where he would conduct his mass shooting.

Resource: Apologetics: A Justification of Christian Belief Kindle Edition, by John Frame
I wanted to highlight an apologetics resource from John Frame. His 2015 book, Apologetics: A Justification of Christian Belief, Kindle Edition.
Totaling 386 pages, Frame explains how our apologetic endeavors should look in light of our status as disciples of Christ. The way we conduct ourselves, the things we say and imply, our attitude toward non-Christian worldviews, should have impact on our apologetic method.
