Gotta thank Phil Johnson for the timely piece:
Just now I was doing some reading in preparation for a message on Sunday, and I picked up one of my favorite sources of pithy comments on the gospelsJ. C. Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (vol 2). In his comments on John 10, Ryle makes a Pyro-worthy [...]

In my response to asdkjf oiupij concerning his attack of me as being un-Christian for my attack of Jeff Maness, I made the assertion that Arminianism is a works based religion. For which oiupij claimed that I was ignorant. So also did the less than credible Doulos Christou.
As James White rightly points out in [...]

An adminitstration policy Czar has been appointed as advisor to first White/black president, and as State Speech Schutzstaffel. Though we are told that he isn’t by the liberal media, he really is no different than Obama’s “not advisors” radical [...]

The Effectual Call Is Made So Because Of Regeneration
Posted in Arminianism, Faith, calvinism, fundamentals, new birth, regeneration, tagged Believing, calvinism, D. Martin Lloyd-Jones, Monergism, new birth, regeneration on August 12, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Even though, as D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says, in the order of salvation effectual call precedes regeneration, he makes it clear that it is regeneration which makes the general effectual.
