Whats Your Capacity? Whats Your Role?

February 27, 2009

One of the tragedies of the modern church is that we just don’t seem to understand a lesson the Moses learnt from his father-in-law. Sadly we fail to realise that not every godly Christian leader should aspire to be the so-called “number one” leader of a church. Many churches are started and do not grow [...]

Jonathan Edwards teaches the doctrine of perseverance in this passage, which is about as far removed from the easy believism most understand when they say “once saved always saved” as you can get. ” . . .as soon as ever a soul has put forth one act of faith towards Jesus, it becomes interested in [...]

Thumbnail image for Jonathan Edwards on Irresistible Grace

The shocking nature of the doctrine that God’s grace is irresistible was hammered home to me by this quote. If this notion does not make you grateful to God that YOU should be so blessed by him, I don’t know what will. . . .the Calvinistical notion of sovereign and arbitrary grace, whereby some, with [...]

Thumbnail image for Jonathan Edwards on Limited Atonement

There is none of the five points of calvinism that are associated with more confusion than the one commonly called Limited Atonment or particular atonement. The problem comes because we do not tend to understand exactly what Calvinists have historically meant by this point, nor do we understand the alternatives on either side. Logic can [...]

Thumbnail image for Jonathan Edwards on Unconditional Election

Jonathan Edwards masterfully argues that it is necessary that God determined that at least one individual would be saved, or else there would have been the risk that Jesus work would have been done in vain. The implication of this argument is of course that once you have accepted that at least one person was [...]

Thumbnail image for Jonathan Edwards on Total Depravity

I am planning on sharing some short quotes from Jonathan Edwards on the five points of Calvinism. Here is the first on the “T” of the so-called “TULIP”. He simply defines Total depravity: . . . the Calvinistic doctrine of the total depravity and corruption of man’s nature, whereby his heart is wholly under the [...]

John Piper on Baptism with the Holy Spirit

February 6, 2009

John Piper shares some interesting perspectives on the fullness of the holy Spirit in a sermon he gave last november. It is intruiging how he endeavours to sidestep the issue of identifying baptism with the Holy Spirit as either conversion or a second blessing. Piper seems keener that we are all open to more infusions [...]

Is This A Conservative Evangelical Blog?

February 2, 2009

Well, this blogger is back, and as you can tell from the title of this post having an identity crisis. In fact, I should warn you that I am still not in fact fully back blogging. Until my book is actually ready to submit to my publishers, I plan on continuing to mostly limit my [...]
