Understanding 1 John 2:2
1 John 2:2 is a verse used by many to oppose particular redemption (limited atonement). They assert that this verse is proof text that Christ died for “the whole world”, meaning every individual. It is critical to understand the nature and efficacy of the atonement so that one truly understands the grace of God in salvation. […]
Christ’s Death Guarantees Justification & Glorification for the Elect
November 19, 2012
Christian religion that denies the Lord Jesus Christ died for a particular people, His elect chosen before the foundation of the world for God’s glory alone, leads to many wayward doctrines. The unbiblical teaching that Christ shed His blood and died for every person in the same way bears unbiblical theological fruit such as conditional election, […]
So What About…Calvinism?
March 2, 2012
Sometimes a single misapprehension or sticky question stands in the way of an honest believer’s examination of the doctrines of grace. John Samson answers those questions with a pastoral heart, yet with biblical fidelity. –Dr. James White, Alpha & Omega Ministries, on John Samson’s new book, Twelve What Abouts There is no greater joy than […]
Blessed is the man You choose
January 11, 2012
Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple. – Psalm 65:4 In reading through the Psalms last night, the above verse jumped out at me and brought me to marvel at […]
10 Reasons Believers Are Sovereignly Sealed
November 4, 2011
A couple of weeks ago I began a series on the doctrines of grace (Calvinism) in an attempt to systematically show how salvation is a work of God alone and why this must be so. These articles have been outlined with overwhelming Scriptural evidence revealing the sovereignty of God in His plan of redemption. The […]

10 Reasons the Holy Spirit Sovereignly Draws Men to Salvation
October 26, 2011
In this series outlining the evidences and reasons for why God is sovereign in the salvation of men, we now enter into the “I” of TULIP, which is the acronym for the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as Calvinism). “I” stands for “irresistible grace”, meaning God changes the will of man in such a way […]
14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (b)
October 20, 2011
The ultimate purposes of the Lord Jesus Christ shedding His blood on the cross was outlined in 14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (a). Before the foundation of the world, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit made an everlasting covenant to redeem a chosen people out of the fallen human race. This chosen people was the […]
14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (a)
October 19, 2011
We have reached the pinnacle and usually the most difficult to grasp of the doctrines of grace as we take a look at the atonement. What most people know as “limited atonement” (the ‘L’ of TULIP in Calvinism), I personally prefer to think of this doctrine as “definite atonement” or “particular redemption”. These latter two […]
10 Reasons God Sovereignly Elects
October 12, 2011
Part 2 of this series addresses 10 reasons, or evidences, that God sovereignly chose a people for Himself before the foundation of the world. As we saw in yesterday’s post, 10 Reasons Man Needs a Sovereign Savior, humans are incapable of choosing anything but their sin and rebellion against a holy God. Their mind, will, […]
