The best medicine for insomnia is a dose of a hard days work.

If the whole world were enlightened by the Spirit of their sins and at the same time reproved of their sins, the world would flee to Christ and be saved. Christ said of the Spirit in St. John 16:8 but if I depart I will send him unto you. He did not say he would send the Holy Spirit to the world...

Man is enlightened by the light of nature, and reason, and a natural conscience and the outward call of the preacher, but these calls can be turned away from. The irresistible call or inward call comes from the Holy Spirit of God, St. John 3:8 and this call comes only to the elect and they will...

The problem is, man will not choose Christ left to himself. Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. In Psa 14:2 the scripture said the Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek God. What...

Every belief has a system. A free will preacher will always preach from two view points when confronting the lost. God loves everyone and Christ died for everyone. A sovereign grace preacher will preach when confronting the lost, God does not owe you anything and if God does not choose to show...

It was a simple question that all grounded in the Gospel of grace could understand and answer.

Paul told another group of people in Rom 10:2 they had a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. You can have all the zeal in the world but zeal without knowledge is zeal with ignorance, Rom 10:3.

I once believed as you do. Study much in scripture about the nature of man. How depraved, how wicked, how disobedient, how prideful man is by nature, how man by nature hates God. Then if God is pleased to show you you're own wicked nature you will declare as Jonah did, salvation is of the Lord.

You say you are Calvinist but when a question is ask you, "Does Christ love outside of His Son ?" by Convicted 1, you have no clue what he is talking about. You need to find a church strong in the faith and submit yourself unto listing to the Gospel and never open your mouth again till you are...

I could not believe in eternal salvation if I believed in free will. If salvation is left to man's free will this would include all of salvation from start to finish. To answer the OP we refer to scripture, Rom 8:35-39.

You say you are Calvinist, but you have much to learn. You have to much pride to be a Calvinist. The swine in your free will church are ready to rend you. If you knew scripture you would have expected it to happen sooner or later.

Posted by Scarlett O. {In Christ, we are new creatures. Not just altered or "cleaned up", but a totally new creation. The Bible says that in Christ, the old creature is "gone". A butterfly cannot be transformed back into a caterpillar. Once Christ has made us a completely new creature, it is...

As far as choice is concerned, I will have to go with the Psalmist David when he said, Psa 110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power. When God hedged me in and broke my stubborn will and slayed me by his law and showed me Christ as a savior of sinners, I willingly made haste to him.

I don't think heaven will be "what's behind door two or one or three". I think all eternity will be worshiping Him who hath redeemed us by his blood. We get a taste of that worship down here when we think upon Him and our hearts are full of love toward Him and our uplifted spirit flows over into...

I totally agree with this. It's not just a cake but a wedding cake you would be baking for them and if you bake it you become part of their ceremony.

Did I say babies talk ? They make sounds and the sound could have been mistaken for the word help that the men heard.

I was advised by a Antinomian Calvinist when I was ordering the complete set of Spurgeon sermons to only order the New Park Street pulpit as those were more doctrinal than the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit. I ordered them all. I was told by this same preacher a few years ago that Spurgeon was...
