It's never caused me the slightest problem, much less a mutter.

Perhaps Exodus 19:5-6 will be helpful. Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' If one compares that with 1 Peter...

"I have six honest serving men; They taught me all I knew. Their names are What? and Why? and Where? And When? and How? and Who?" Rudyard Kipling

From C.H. Spurgeon: Well can I remember the manner in which I learned the doctrines of grace in a single instant. Born, as all of us are by nature, an Arminian, I still believed the old things I had heard continually from the pulpit, and did not see the grace of God. When I was coming to Christ...

Thanks for the post. I have very little time to reply as I am in the midst of sermon preparation. I take it that you are considering the word translated 'pleased, ''will' and 'plan.' I know no more Hebrew than you do; the following comes from a word study dictionary. The Hebrew word in...

I think this 'free grace theology' is an imposter. It bears no resemblance to what I understand as free grace. It resembles 'Sandemanianism,' an error that was common in Scotland in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Here's a link. What was Sandemanianism? | GotQuestions.org The Lord Jesus...

According to an article in the "Sword and Trowel" in 1869, Spurgeon's younger brother James was Assistant Pastor at the Metropolitan Tabernacle and there were nine deacons and 26 (!) elders. At that time, the church had 3,860 members.

Coincidentally, I am preaching of Revelation 6 this coming Lord's Day, so this post has piqued my interest. On what basis do you suppose that Rev. 6:3-4 has anything to do with Donald Trump? Has he been seen recently riding a fiery red horse?

Isaiah 46:8-11. 'Remember this, and show yourselves men; Recall to mind, O you transgressors. Remember the former things of old, For I am God and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done...

It seems that some people are confused between Trinitarianism and Modalism. Another look at the Chalcedonian Creed: "Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in...

1 Corinthians 6:2-3; Revelation 5:9-10; 3:21.
