Lord Have Mercy

Have taken up study of John Calvin. Skimmed through his "Institutes" years ago. Reading biography first. This is key:

T – Total depravity

U – Unconditional election

L – Limited atonement

I –  Irresistible grace

P – Perseverance of the saints

Made mention to my pastor of how to appreciate predestination. Do we accept that there are the elect and the canned and let it be. What else can we do? Is it fate? For some reason God chooses; we dont. We realize and affirm, sinners still. Oh, Sweet Jesus, show me the way.

I must ask the pastor about the art gracing the website.

He says I ought read the Westminster Confession.

My, my... a lot of work. I will never be done!
