Election Heartbreak

This election was heartbreaking.   It’s heartbreaking that our best choices were a heretic and an apostate.   It’s heartbreaking to see most Americans vote against biblical morals on abortion and homosexuality.  It’s heartbreaking for me to realize that the “liberal media” is not some loud minority view, but in some cases represents the majority view.   It’s heartbreaking that my kids will inherit socialism and massive debt.  My hope is in Christ alone.  He alone can bring good out of this.  He alone can save America.  He alone makes all things new.

Though I'm Canadian, I, like many others in Canada, are keenly interested in the political landscape of the USA. We realize that whatever happens down there is going to have a huge impact on what happens up here. I had the privilege of leading my neighbor to Christ on Monday night. After encouraging him in the scriptures about his security in Christ, he asked if we could pray. Guess what was foremost on his mind after thankfulness to God for his salvation? Yup - the upcoming election and for God to be merciful to your country!

May God be merciful to both our countries, to bring about another Great Awakening to us all.

"O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy." Hab 3:2

Responsibility - Evaluation of Arminian Grounds for LFW

Outline of Edwards Arguments in part V.I Arminians say if something causally predetermines our choices, we are not responsible. But responsibility is not the cause of choices, it’s in the nature of choices If responsibility is in the cause of choices, we search through an infinite regression of causes, and nothing is ever responsible. My Response Point 1 is close, but not quite accurate. While our actions can be predetermined, our choices cannot be. Choice cannot be predetermined, else it’s not choice. Predeterminism leave us with only one possible action, but choice requires alternatives (i.e. more than one). A “predetermined choice” is self-contradictory, implying we can choose something we can’t choose. So we think Calvinists are inconsistent for saying we can choose. Also, Arminians agree that we are responsible for our choices. Even though we deny we are responsible for things we are causally predetermined to do, we are not saying responsibility lies in the cause of choices,

The Equivocation of Regeneration

In the order of salvation, which comes first, faith or regeneration? Before we can answer that, don't we first need to understand what regeneration is? In this post I plan on contrasting Hodge's view with Arminius'. Hopefully, in the process we can clarify the issue of monergism vs. synergism. Hodge’s Order of Salvation Common Grace – a “moral suasion” that brings good works, but is insufficient to enable justifying faith Regeneration – God’s supernatural and immediate change of a person’s nature Vocation – same Gospel as the one in common grace, but it’s effectual on the changed man. Conversion – faith and repentance “first conscious exercise of the renewed soul” Justification Two Definitions of Regeneration Hodges provides two alternative definitions of regeneration. Sometimes regeneration means just the imparting of life, other times it means the whole process including the things coming before and after the imparting of life. 1 Hodge says these two difference sense
