Irresistible Grace (TULIP part 4)
God so calls as He allures; He does not force, but draw. The freedom of the will is not taken away, but the stubbornness of it is conquered. ‘Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power’ (Psalm 110:3). “All Things for Good” pg. 107 -Thomas Watson
“No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing”. -Blaise Pascal
“How is it more for the glory of God to save man irresistibly, than to save him as a free agent, by such grace as he may either concur or resist?” – John Wesley
My guest joining me this week on the Sunday series is my brother Bryce. Bryce is getting his undergraduate degree in philosophy and hopes to get his MDiv. from a seminary after he completes his undergrad. He hopes to be a pastor shepherding Gods people one day.
The grace of God in yo life
It cuts straight a theological knife
Try to resist and thwart his good plan
End in your demise eternally damned
The grace of God stronger than you
Every morning fresh as the dew
The saints birthright like esau’s stew
Key Texts: Acts 7:51, Psalm 115:3, John 6:44, John 6:64–65, Song of Solomon 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0w06Ro5pcY -> This is a sad video and this young man has been led astray
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scNwcDl0ARY -> This video is very important. This man is a minister in Bethlehem and sees firsthand the evils of Zionism. Please consider watching this!
All in all, this is about 30 minutes of YouTube video to watch. That would REALLY get you up to speed on some of the argumentation and downfalls of Zionism. The reading would obviously take longer but I highly recommend browsing through them! Some of them are much shorter than others. We hope to continue to do follow up episodes so stay tuned!

Unconditional Election (TULIP part 2)
“I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him; and I am sure He chose me before I was born, or else He never would have chosen me afterwards; and He must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find in myself why He should have looked upon me with special love. So I am forced to accept that great Biblical doctrine.”
“Whatever may be said about the doctrine of election, it is written in the Word of God as with an iron pen, and there is no getting rid of it. To me, it is one of the sweetest and most blessed truths in the whole of revelation, and those who are afraid of it are so because they do not understand it. If they could but know that the Lord had chosen them, it would make their hearts dance for joy.”
– Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Total Depravity (TULIP part 1)
“When you refuse to teach on the radical depravity of men, it is an impossibility that you bring glory to God, His Christ, and His cross, because the cross of Jesus Christ and the glory thereof is most magnified when it’s placed in front of the backdrop of our depravity!” – Paul Washer
My guest joining me this week on the Sunday series is my brother Bryce. Bryce is getting his undergraduate degree in philosophy and hopes to get his MDiv. from a seminary after he completes his undergrad. He hopes to be a pastor shepherding Gods people one day.
Key Texts: Romans 1-3, Ephesians 2, Isaiah 64:6, Genesis 6:5, Romans 8:6-8
Sources: Calvin’s Institutes, Matthew Henry’s Commentary, Westminster Confession of Faith (Chapter 6,9,10)
https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-we-believe-about-the-five-points-of-calvinism -> This document will be a source in every show note of this series. It contains an easily accessible 25 page paper about the 5 points of Calvinism. It is a very gracious and pastoral treatment of the subject and is a great starting point for the conversation. Each point of Calvinism has about 5 pages on the topic so its a real quick 15 minute read for each episode in this series.

This whole episode that we did concerns the first point so if you accept the logic of this episode and the hermeneutic of the texts involved then we are in for a wild ride 😀
