God is in No Way Obligated to Save You!
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 ill-deserving and hell-deserving. It is completely unmerited and unsought, and is altogether unattracted by anything in or from or by the objects ...

Time Mag: New Calvinism 3rd Most Powerful Idea
Time Magazine recently ran an article in their online home, Time.com, entitled "10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now." Top one on the list is, "Jobs are the New Assets", where it brings to mind, rather brings back the importance of "Jobs." Next on the list is, "Recycling the Suburbs." In essence it's about salvaging the suburbs, saving it from inevitable death from the absence of commercial infrastructures. Now you may be wondering why do I ...

Was Anyone Saved on the Cross?
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 called myself a "four-point Calvinist." There are a lot of people who use that term, and, almost all the time, ...

The Right to be Saved? Ignorance and Foolishness.
"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 of life and death is vested in the monarch, so the Judge of all the earth has a right to ...

Why Don’t All Men Believe?
How does salvation work? How does faith work? Why do we say things like "if you just allow God to", or "if only you would choose to believe?" Where does this kind thinking come from? Are we to accept what the Bible means when it says that the Lord Christ Jesus is the "author and perfecter of faith" ((Hebrews 12:2))or are we still to run off with our "buts"? "But you need to choose Him." ...

We Base the Gospel on Our Emotions Rather than by Scripture.
"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 based on our emotions and experiences rather than by the infallible, unchanging Word of God. Maybe we need to stop proclaiming the Gospel: 'What will you do with Jesus?', and proclaim it the way the Bible presents it: 'What will Christ do with you?'" —James White httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKciLp1B3K0
