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 […]

The Nicene Council Store is offering a 75% off special on Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism. A dear brother shared this with me so I wanted to pass it along since I’ve been hoping to watch it soon. I already purchased my copy for $5, and hope you do too on this […]

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 […]

The ultimate purposes of the Lord Jesus Christ shedding His blood on the cross was outlined in 14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (a).

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 […]

Genesis 1:1, 26-27; 2:7, 19-23 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…26 Then […]

Ever so often I have heard about the Christian testimony of renowned serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. I never observed any evidence of this until a brother shared the following video with me this week. Just as we witnessed in the testimony of another serial killer, David Berkowitz aka “Son of Sam”, we witness the power […]

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, […]

The following is Part 1 of a 6-part series I hope to present, Lord willing, on the doctrines of grace, commonly known as Calvinism. Each article will be titled as: 10 Reasons Man Needs a Sovereign Savior 10 Reasons God Sovereignly Elects 14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (a) 14 Reasons Christ Sovereignly Redeems (b) 10 […]

In studying last night, I came across a chart in the John MacArthur Bible Commentary titled The Traits of New Creatures in Christ. Just yesterday Manfred posted an article at Defending Contending titled, “What Is a True Christian?”, and I thought this post might be complementary to it. The first column in MacArthur’s chart concerns […]
