"Those who've been drawn by God and born again by the Spirit WILL flee to Christ, but not because they exercised free will."I agree. John 3. I wince at those terms in a Gospel call and definitely take issue with those that hinge salvation on the sinners action. Good article that brings up good questions. http://www.ligonier.org/blog/soli-deo-gloria-god-alone-be-glory/ |

Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." - Acts 16:30-31While they did not say, 'Choose' or 'Make a decision' here, the concept is in there. The sinner must take action, otherwise, why call people to repent and believe? When we believe, that is what we see from our perspective, but Scripturally, the Spirit gives life. Sovereign grace and human will intersection has tension in the Word. If you don't see it, then our biases are in control. Now, We don't say to people, 'Just wait for God to give you life and make you believe'. Is that Gospel invitation in Acts? Soli Deo Gloria, regardless. I'm no fool to give credit to my salvation other than to God alone. Sola Gratia! |

"No Other Name"One name Holds weight above them all His fame Outlasts the earth He formed His praise Resounds beyond the stars And echoes in our hearts The greatest One of all His face Shines brighter than the sun His grace As boundless as His love He reigns With healing in His wings The King above all kings The greatest One of all Lift up our eyes, see the King has come Light of the world reaching out for us There is no other name There is no other name Jesus Christ our God Seated on high, the undefeated One Mountains bow down as we lift Him up There is no other name There is no other name Jesus Christ our God Find hope When all the world seems lost Behold The triumph of the cross His power Has trampled death and grave Our life found in His name The greatest name of all Lift up our eyes, see the King has come Light of the world reaching out for us There is no other name There is no other name Jesus Christ our God Seated on high, the undefeated One Mountains bow down as we lift Him up There is no other name There is no other name Jesus Christ our God Jesus The earth will shake And tremble before Him Chains will break As heaven and earth sing Holy is the name Holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus [x2] Lift |

False Dilemma:The suggestion that to be in a denomination is that you are more intellectual and doctrinal than someone not in a denomination. You can have a strong faith (with an even balance of the emotions because after all God works on the heart) regardless of being in a particular denomination. My personal opinion is that I'd rather not be in a denomination because I'd rather just be a 'Christian'. I want to lead people to Christ and not to a denomination. Still, my doctrinal beliefs to tend to one particular belief set ~ New Covenant - but I will not lead with that. I'd instead focus on Biblical truths summarized by the 5 solas. For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. - 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 |

Glad CMP is doing this. America has no moral high ground. Hypocrisy. Abortion, pornography, racism, sexism, legal prostition, etc. And we know it will get worse. Don't put your hope in America, hope in Jesus.And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation." - Acts 2:40 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. - 1 John 2:17 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, - Ephesians 5:11-13 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us." But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. - Acts 5:27-29 |

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. - 1 Peter 2:9-12 |

ABC News Radio wrote: “We struggle to comprehend the warped and twisted mind that sees a room packed with young children not as a scene to cherish but as an opportunity for carnage,” May said Tuesday.--- The unbeliever struggles to understand. The believer understands because apart from God's grace he would be just like them. --- And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- - Ephesians 2:1-2 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. - Titus 3:3 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, - Colossians 1:21 |
