If it be true that God loves every member of the human family, then why did our Lord tell His disciples “He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father…If a man love Me, he will keep My words: ...

The Gospel of Calvinism as was just described is not: "Well, maybe God doesn't love you."You see the apostolic proclamation was "repent and believe." It wasn't "this is what God has done for you."Maybe the problem here is that we're judging the Gospel by our emotions and experiences rather than by the infallible, unchanging, inspired ...

A Debtor to Mercy AloneA debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with thy righteousness on, My person and off'ring to bring.

Divine grace is the sovereign and saving favour of God exercised in the bestowment of blessings upon those who have no merit in them and for which no compensation is demanded from them. Nay, more; it is the favour of God shown to those who not only have no positive deserts of their own, but who are thoroughly ...

In essence it's about salvaging ...

We say Christ so died that he infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ's death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved. ---Charles Haddon Spurgeon There was a time when I ...

This is what was said by David Allen at the recent highly controversial conference conducted by the Southern Baptist Convention called the "John 3:16 Conference" last November 6-7, 2008.

"For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." (Romans 9:15) In these words the Lord in the plainest manner claims the right to give or to withhold His mercy according to His own sovereign will. As the prerogative ...
