Not too far yet

"For he who is ashamed is as yet heal able." - J. Calvin

Comfort to heavy consciences

The Lord Jesus does not bid the laboring and heavy-laden "go and work." Those words would carry no comfort to heavy consciences - it would be like requiring labor from an exhausted man. No! He bids them "Come!" He does not say, "Pay Me what you owe." That demand would drive a broken heart into despair - it would be like claiming a debt from a ruined bankrupt. No! He says, "Come!" He does not say, "Stand still and wait." That command would only be a mockery - it would be like promising to give medicine at the end of a week to one at the point of death." No - He says, "Come!" Today; at once; without any delay,"Come unto Me!" J. C. Ryle

John Calvin...the great mercy preacher.

Recently our Pastor has been going through a study on Election at our church.  It has raised some questions in some people's minds about God's sovereignty and his love, and how all of this can fit together.  In the next couple of posts I plan on showing how Election works in relation to sin and mercy, and how it couldn't work any other way and make sense of the Gospel.

Moving back...

It appears that 4 years after I moved this blog to Wordpress, my Blogger site here is still getting a few views. Wih that in mind I'm going to re-start it hoping to pick up more viewers...and spread the news of Gods grace to sinners on more fronts!
