Please Stop Calling Me A Legalist (Part 1)

Please Stop Calling Me A Legalist (Part 1)

I have been called a legalist many times in my life. What I have always hoped for is a person who, instead of simply labeling me and moving on, asked me about the convictions I have. If we did this more, I believe it would solve a lot of problems.

Resurrection Living

Resurrection Living

The resurrection is the most important aspect of the Gospel. Without it, we are lost. Because of it, we have every reason to rejoice. We should not simply celebrate this one day out of the year. The resurrection should be at the very core of who we are.

Why A Good Friday?

Why A Good Friday?

What is it that makes Good Friday so good? It doesn’t feel good. It’s the day God Himself was murdered. How can there be light in such darkness? Simply because of this...Easter is coming.

Here’s To You My Wayward Friend

Here’s To You My Wayward Friend

Have you ever had a friend walk away from the Lord? I have. It hits you at a level that nothing else does. To be honest, I really don’t feel anything. This is why I shouldn’t trust what I feel. I trust what I know.

The Perseverance Of The Saints

The Perseverance Of The Saints

The “P” in TULIP is one of the most comforting truths in all of Scripture. Within it we find the peace that comes from God holding onto us even when we fall. It’s the culmination of Calvinism and the security of the Gospel.

Irresistible Grace

Irresistible Grace

The fourth point of Calvinism is perhaps just as divisive as the third because it gets to the heart of why many people have a problem with the Calvinistic theology. It says man is dead and God is sovereign. The natural man struggles with this, but believe me, it’s better this way.

Limited Atonement

Limited Atonement

Out of all the five points, none makes someone a “four pointer” quicker than the doctrine of limited atonement. But I think there is no doctrine that showcases God’s incredible love more than this one.

Unconditional Election

Unconditional Election

Perhaps the most incredible truth in the world could be summed up in the sentence “God chose us.” The doctrine of unconditional election is perhaps the clearest point that drives home the Gospel and gives God all the glory.

Total Depravity

Total Depravity

The 5 points of Calvin begin with Total Depravity. In fact, this point defines the others. Because of Total Depravity, the other 4 points are true. This doctrine, although very dark, causes the light to shine the brightest.
