Gordon H. Clark: The Gospel Includes the Five Points of Calvinism

Now, what did Paul preach? He himself says, "I am pure from the blood
of all men, for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel
of God." This includes the five points of Calvinism, the TULIP, . . . Dr. Gordon H. Clark

Unwittingly, many Evangelicals and even Calvinists have been duped into thinking that the Gospel can be reduced down to a few pet propositions or verses of the

What Do Reformed Christians Believe? Part 1

I have been negligent of late in writing for my blog due to my discussions and debates on Facebook. You can visit my Facebook groups at Reformed Anglicans for Scripturalism and Calvinism Defended Against All. That being said, I want to start a new series of articles where I will compare and contrast the Anglican Formularies (Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the

The Line in the Sand?

Dr. Paul Elliott has rightly said that the Presbyterian Church in America keeps erasing the line in the sand and moving it back a step. It's analogous to President Obama's continuing to erase the lines in the sand that he drew when Russia started its overt aggression against Ukraine. The problem with the PCA, as with the PCUSA and the Auburn Affirmation in the 1920s, is that it has failed to

The Obama Administration's Anti-Christian Attack on Evangelicalism

�Within certain defined areas, opponents of gay rights will be
unaffected by an embrace of same-sex marriage. But in others, the impact
will be substantial. I am not optimistic that, under current law, much
can be done to ameliorate the impact on religious dissenters.� -- Marc D. Stern


It looks like everything I have been warning Christians about is going to happen as soon as the Supreme

Preparing for Pentecost

Christ is Risen! But then what?
The story continues of course, with more exciting details and events to engage our young listeners. Christ spends the next 40 days displaying His physical Resurrection. He appears in the upper room to the Apostles twice when the doors are sealed shut, granting them peace. He is seen along the road to Emmaus, but unrecognizable to Luke and Cleopa, until He breaks bread with them and is known essentially in the Eucharist (see the lesson plan here). Then at the fortieth day on Mt Olivet the disciples with the Mother of God, stand in awe as Christ is taken up before their own very eyes into the sky with the angels at His side on His return to the Father (The Ascension). What could possibly come next for the followers of Christ.....they must wait ten more days!

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you”

The great feast of Holy Pentecost- "peninta" or 50 days after the Resurrection

Be sure to connect for your young people the Old Testament story of the Tower of Babel. They'll probably remember well that God "mixed up" the languages to stop the wicked plans of the people. Now, in the story of Pentecost, God is doing the opposite. He sent the gift of languages, for this one time purpose, to spread the good plan of His salvation to the whole world.

..."Grant to my thoughts the Spirit of your wisdom, to my folly the Spirit of understanding, with the Spirit of your fear overshadow my deeds. Renew a right Spirit within my inward parts and make firm the instability of my mind with the sovereign Spirit, so that guided each day by your good Spirit to what is profitable, I may be found worthy to do your commandments and always keep in mind your Coming, which searches out all that we have done..."
