- Since God Is Sovereign, How Are Humans Free? September 20, 2019
  God is most free; that is, His freedom is unlimited. He is sovereign. The most frequent objection to His sovereignty is that if God is truly sovereign, then man cannot be free. Scripture uses the term freedom to describe our human condition in two distinct ways: freedom from coercion, whereby man is free to make choices without coercion, and moral freedom, w […]

- Wreck the Word of God September 19, 2019
  Here’s an excerpt from Wreck the Word of God , Steven J. Lawson’s contribution to the September issue of Tabletalk: Our strategy is to unleash a full-scale, frontal assault on the Word of our Enemy. This has been the essence of our sinister strategy from the very beginning. Over the centuries, nothing has changed. Our modus operandi is the same. The Enemy do […]

Mere Mortal –> Saint?

Posted on November 7, 2007 by melcartera

Great quotation from a brilliant mind. Very nutritious food for thought.

Meaty. Chewy…

Grace is indeed needed to turn a man into a saint, and he who doubts it does not know what a saint or a man is.
— Blaise Pascal

Grace and peace!

- Salvation by Ideas? God Forbid! (Bruce Lowe) September 18, 2019
  Recently, I've had three conversations that all circle around one significant topic: Christianity as a mere intellectual exercise. In the first, a seminary student told me of a conversation with his son: "Dad, I believe in the Christian faith. I have sat under your teaching and under mum's teaching for years. I am still convinced that it is tr […]
- Origins of the Creed (James Renihan) September 16, 2019
  If you were a Christian living in the great port city of Alexandria, Egypt in the year 320, your life would likely be full of excitement. Less than 10 years before, the great Emperor Constantine had defeated his enemies, ended Roman persecution of Christians, and granted Christianity the status of a favored religion. You no longer needed to fear arrest, tort […]
- Worship That Smells: Calvin on Genesis 8 (Aaron Denlinger) September 13, 2019
  Noah's first deed upon exiting the ark -- at least as recorded in Scripture -- was to build an altar and offer unto God sacrifices. He did this from the "clean" animals and birds which had accompanied him and his family on his recent water-based adventures. God, for his part, smelled Noah's sacrifices and apparently found the scent agreea […]
