What's Been Going On...

I've had a good week and the Lord is blessing. He may be opening a door for me to become part of a ministry out of Idaho. I would be opening an office for that ministry here in Jacksonville, Fl. So we'll see. Anyways, here we go,

1. I got scared this weekend as the gators almost lost. I knew it could be an upset game because they put so much focus on LSU and teams tend to have a letdown the nxt gae when they do that.

2. I'm getting ready to start Hebrews tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it. I have been listening to Hebrewson my ipod in preparation. The book of Hebrews is where the Calvinist lives and makes his most crucial arguments from. It is also the one book that destroys the RCC's idea of the priesthood. May the Holy Spirit grant me illumination to deal with such a marvelous book. For example, look at this passage from chapter 1,

1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (
Heb 1:1-3)
Is that not amazing. What an exalted passage about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To think it was this same Jesus who entered time to walk among us.3. I'm taking some friends through the doctrines of grace on Tuesday nights. Otherwise known as the TULIP,

4. I'll end with a quote from a great man of God,

John Owen (1616-1683):"We deny that all mankind are the object of that love of God which moved him to send his Son to die; God having 'made some for the day of evil' (Prov. 16:4); 'hated them before they were born' (Rom. 9:11, 13); 'before of old ordained them to condemnation' (Jude 4); being 'fitted to destruction' (Rom. 9:22); 'made to be taken and destroyed'(II Pet. 2:12); 'appointed to wrath'(I Thess. 5:9); to 'go to their own place' (Acts 1:25)" (Works, vol. 10, p. 227). "... reprobation ... [is] the issue of hatred, or a purpose of rejection (Rom. 9:11-13)" (Works, vol. 10, p. 149).
