  • Interesting Observations from Benedict XVI

    I am no fan of Benedict XVI. I pray for his salvation, but I fully agree with the Westminster divines about the nature of his office. That said, he made an interesting observation, according to the Vatican Information Service, in his remarks on April 11, 2012, during the morning general audience. VIS reports: Benedict XVI…

  • Baptized Children Should Know Their Election?

    So then, for those who are baptized (for those in God’s covenant), a proper sense of identity involves knowing that they are chosen by God to receive grace and inherit glory with all his people, and that they are called to live with God and for God forever with all his people, fulfilling the purposes…

  • Arminianism and Natural Birth

    Joshua Lim at Reformed Blogging has an interesting post on Arminianism and Natural Birth (link) (Mitch has pointed out that there is something wrong with the link. The post can be found via the following link, about 3/4 of the way down the page – backup link). He states fairly succinctly this particular problem that…

  • Celebrating the Release of Prisoners

The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and…

  • Regeneration Before Faith

    I’m still in the process of finishing a series on the subject line of this post, but Steve Camp has prepared an interesting post on the subject. It’s interesting and forceful. (link) He also includes an interesting graphic (link), that I had not seen before. I don’t know if it is own work, but it…

  • Heart and Ear Circumcision

    I happened to be reading and came across this gem: ***** He saith also again concerning our ears how he hath circumcised our heart. The Lord saith in the prophet, They have hearkened unto me with the hearing of their ears; and again, he saith, They that are afar off shall hear with their ears;…

  • Except a Man be Born Again, He Cannot See the Kingdom of God

    Regeneration Precedes Faith This is the first part of a response to Kangaroo|Dort. It is the positive exposition. John 3:2-132The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with…
