With God's love comes justice and righteousness. Not a tolerance towards sin or looking the other way to excuse people.

We do identify with Jesus alone. The label "Calvinist" is sometimes necessary so other believers know who they are talking to and where we fall into certain categories of belief that other Believers may not hold to. That is ironic because some of the most hateful, dogmatic Christians I've...

We do not deny the power of the gospel nor the power of the Spirit. Dead men are only brought to repentance through the convicting of the Holy Spirit. Once convicted the person will repent. Once sin is brought to light there is no second guessing. There are many who are unsaved and read the...

Once you're convicted of your sins it's the greatest "Light bulb moment" of your life. Once you realize the state of your deadness and evil in sin you no longer desire to stay in that situation. All our our hearts are hard. The power of the Holy Spirit can break any heart to repentance. The...

Good point.

Safe travels, BOL

Mankind seeks after all kinds of false gods and evil; everything but the true God. No one is righteous. All fall short. Man can't create the conviction of repentance within himself in his own dead state.

Romans 8:7 - The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Man does not / can’t ordain himself, in sin we all pursue sin; not righteousness. It’s a choice without desire. This is the work of God. “He choose us” Jesus says all that the Father gives to Him will come...not....all who gives themselves to Me will come.

I started dating my wife in Sept and we were married 9 months later (we were friends for several years before dating). We saw no need to wait years since we knew the Lord brought us together. Of course, each situation is different for different people.

It does deny the essence of the Gospel. Thankful for Luther for standing up against that terrible system

People kept telling me how bad Calvin was, so I bought his book and have been going through it. What I saw was a lot different than what I heard from others. I wanted to study his writings for myself and not what some person told me about him.

Beautiful!

MercyMe: "Even If" is good

That is a great song! It could be any song you enjoy to worship, modern or old (let's say, classic) :cool:

What is your favorite hymn to sing and listen to? Mine is: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing :rolleyes:

When I am long gone and people only have the post I put on social media and even here, to view about what I did / said. I'm curious how they will judge and think about where I am. We can see snapshots of things people did in their past without seeing the full picture of their life lived...

57 years! Wow. My wife and I have been married for 3 years (I was 21 and my wife was 29)with the age difference there are times my immaturity comes out in situations but we learn together and we grow together and forgive together. Each day is a blessing and each day takes work.
