A good reflection on those hard passages….

What You Find In Your Quiet Times

I’ve heard multiple echoes the past few weeks on this theme that our history is real.

Also I love this quote:

Kings of Judah: Asa’s Gracious God

2 Chronicles 14:2-16:9

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. (16:9a)

Too many churches give the opposite message: “Wanted: vaguely spiritual, cultural Christians. Must attend church sporadically, give miserly, and serve if you are into that sort of thing. Will tailor music, aesthetics, and preaching to fit your style. Ethical standards are minimal and beliefs are negotiable.” The church needs to compromise less and call for commitment more.

 

It’s a long post but the following may give some added insight on the Arminianism and Calvinism discussion that I seem to be ineptly involved with.

Gospel-Driven Effort

I find it much more uplifting that the direct summary comparison you find at:
