To the dregs sinners will drink The wrath of God for their iniquity. To the dregs Jesus did drink The wrath of God for sinners who repent and believe. Jesus drank it all, every last drop, The holy fury of the Living God. Propitiation, the expression of Christ’s love For sinners, elect from the Father […]

Contrary to modern evangelicalism’s teaching of toleration and acceptance of all people in the church, the Bible teaches there is actually one category of people who should not be welcomed at all. While many churches seeks to make these people as comfortable in their sin as possible, and use every worldly means to bring them […]

Two weeks ago on twitter, I began a series of tweets accompanied by the hashtag #Calvinism101. I love the doctrines of grace (often referred to as “Calvinsm), and I love proclaiming them. I do so because they represent what the Bible reveals about God and His sovereign work in redemption. I believe all Christians believe these truths […]

Comments Off on The Promise of the New Covenant
The unified message of Scripture is demonstrated in the doctrine of the New Covenant. Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures, the promise of the New Covenant is established and built upon, providing greater revelation as to its fulfillment and comprehensiveness to include not only Jews, but also Gentiles. So many doctrines cherished by […]

Charles Spurgeon was unapologetic in his view of Calvinism. Such was Spurgeon’s conviction that he equated it with the Gospel.

Comments Off on Sinners’ Gain from Christ’s Reward
Christ’s reward is not dependent upon man or any supposed freewill decision of man. What do I mean by that? In listening to lyrics I have heard many times before, the question posed in Stuart Townsend’s ‘How Deep the Father’s Love for Us‘ – “why should I gain from His reward?” resonated with me in […]

Consider the power and majesty of Jesus Christ, even in the destruction of sinners. We read in Hebrews 1:3 that Jesus upholds “all things by the word of His power”. Whether stars or planets, lillies or lions, oceans or snow flakes, gasses or stones, angels or demons, or humans, the Lord Jesus Christ holds it […]
