What is a Spiritual Father?
If the best doctors help to heal our physical bodies by knowing the "right" medicine, so even more does the spiritual father, who is enlightened by God, prescribe the much-needed healing for our soul. “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous,...

Dr. Gordon H. Clark Quote of the Day: Is God Sovereign or Is God Subject to the Law?

ClarkIn a recent exchange with another so-called Calvinist, I was challenged to show how God is not subject to His own nature as God.

Good Friday Homily 2015
