First Assembly - Revival In Pictures

It is amazing that another week has flown by so quickly. We have really enjoyed ourselves at First Assembly in Ellisville. God has blessed us in every service and we are very thankful for that. We have had six great services so far and we are expecting another move of God tonight.

I sure appreciate Pastor Kenny Morris, his family and all the folks at First Assembly for embracing us and treating us so fine every year. They make us feel like family and we are glad to have it so. May God bless them for their kindness.

It was great to see some old friends that visited the revival and to make new friends as well. We always love visitors. It is encouraging for us and it is a blessing to the church and revival as well. I know some of you read the blog so thank you very much for coming to be in revival with us.

We will close revival tonight by God's grace and then we will move northwest to White Plains Holiness Assembly. We plan to be there through Wednesday and then we will be back in Ellisville for the big wild game supper. It is a big fundraiser for the school and it is a lot of fun. We were here for it in 2013 and we are excited to be able to attend again.

I hope you enjoy the Revival In Pictures.

It was 32 one morning in Ellisville, Mississippi.



But it was quite balmy compared to home.

Verbal Gymnastics of A Calvinist

I have linked to this website before but you have to see this. There is a clip on anti-itch meditation and I have embedded it below. It would be hilarious if it was not dealing with such a serious subject. The Biblical description of folks who are willingly ignorant may well apply here. I do not say that to be unkind but to give you an accurate description.

R.C. Sproul is asked if God wants all men to be saved. It is a very simple question with a very simple Biblical answer, YES. He gives every man a choice but His divine will is for all men to be saved. 

However being a dyed in the wool Calvinist, Mr. Sproul can not say "Yes, God wants all men to be saved" even though the Bible plainly teaches Yes, God wants all men to be saved. How much plainer can you get than it is not God's will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

As a Calvinist Mr. Sproul believes that God created some men to be lost. There is no way that those men can be saved. Christ did not die for them and will not save them even if they ask. They probably will not ask because grace is not extended to them. Those that are meant to be saved will be saved because God makes them be saved. He does not want to say that so he resorts to verbal gymnastics.

The extreme length R.C. Sproul resorts to in order to explain away scripture is absolutely ridiculous. It is much easier to simply believe the Bible and make your doctrine fit the Bible. Once you swallow a doctrine and believe your doctrine at all costs then you have to make the Bible fit your doctrine and you end up looking pretty silly.

Watch for yourself and make sure you visit anti-itch meditation because Jeff Weddle sets this up perfectly.

Thanks for reading.
