Plochman’s Scores Big Again…

Plochman's Chicago Fire MustardDuring research for my previous post, Plochman’s, The Mustard Lover’s Mustard. I ran across something very interesting on the Plochman’s website, and had the wife pick up a bottle this evening. Plochman’s Chicago Fire Mustard combines the wonder of Plochman’s Mustard with the fire of Tabasco Brand Pepper Sauce (A top-notch condiment in its own right). The flavor? In a word: fantastic! If you can’t find Plochman’s Chicago Fire Mustard in your area, you can purchase it directly from the Plochman’s Online Store!

Plochman's The Mustard Lover's Mustard

As I often tell my wife, mustard makes my life better. I love mustard. Mustard is one of those rare commodities in life that makes almost anything that is good, better. But which mustard to choose? When speaking of the “plain” variety, there really is only one choice, and that choice is the ‘Plochman’s, The Mustard Lover’s Mustard’.

Some people close to me have tried to tell me that “mustard is mustard”. Obviously those folks just don’t understand or appreciate quality mustard when they taste it. For those of us that understand how mustard can take a bad sandwich and make it good, or take a good sandwich and make it great, there really is a big difference in the mustard you choose to put on your food. Plochman’s is simply the best mustard you can get!

What’s your theological worldview?
created with QuizFarm.com

Strangely enough, I’m not completely comfortable with the explanation provided for my score. I’m not a huge advocate of TULIP, and while I certainly think we must focus on Christ and his gift of salvation, I think sanctification is critical and is perhaps overlooked more than anything today. I do not believe all will be saved (although I do believe all could be saved). I’m not too skeptical about resistible grace, because I’m not nailed down to TULIP, and I tend to be about midway between the Calvin-Armenian continuum.
