The Present Day Attack on Sola Fida –Dr. John H. Armstrong

This is an excerpt from an article written by Dr. John H. Armstrong.    “The church in every age is in constant need of reforming. The followers of Martin Luther in the sixteenth century recognized this need, speaking of semper reformanda (always reforming). Calvin and the theologians of Geneva also recognized this need. These theologians did not seek [...]

Why I’m A “Calvinist” (PT.1) –Phil Johnson

Couldn’t have said it better myself… “I love the doctrines of grace and don’t shy away from the label “Calvinist.” I believe in the sovereignty of God. I’m convinced Scripture teaches that God is completely sovereign not only in salvation (effectually calling and granting faith to those whom He chooses); but also in every detail [...]

The Family Life –Horatius Bonar

From the book “Night of Weeping and Morning of Joy” (Found at monergism.com) They live by faith. Thus they began and thus they are to end. “We walk by faith and not by sight.” Their whole life is a life of faith. Their daily actions are all of faith. This forms one of the main [...]

Acceptable Calvinism — Bill MacKinnon

A great and very accurate article. Acceptable Calvinism (by Bill MacKinnon) Well, it has finally happened. Calvinists in the SBC are finally being told to hit the road.

The Heresy of Middle Knowledge — Dr. C. Matthew McMahon

A Puritan\'s Mind The term “Molinism” was recently brought to my attention. As I was doing some research I found this article on APM’s website and it seemed to me to offer the best summary of what I had been reading. This “doctrine” is more prevalent in the church today than I had thought. Take [...]

Does John 3:16 Refute Calvinism — Mark Kielar

I’ve heard many times that “Calvinist take John 3:16 and just throw it out of the Bible.” On the contrary we lean heavily on this beautiful verse. In this video series Mark Kielar breaks this verse down for us.

I Don’t Want “Free-Will” –Martin Luther

“I frankly confess that, for myself, even if it could be, I should not want ‘free-will’ to be given me, nor anything to be left in my own hands to enable me to endeavour after salvation; not merely because in face of so many dangers, and adversities and assaults of devils, I could not stand [...]

Saying What You Believe Is Easier Than Saying Calvinist—John Piper

From Desiring God This actually works sometimes…… We are Christians. Radical, full-blooded, Bible-saturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered, mission-advancing, soul-winning, church-loving, holiness-pursing, sovereignty-savoring, grace-besotted, broken-hearted, happy followers of the omnipotent, crucified Christ. At least that’s our imperfect commitment. In other words, we are Calvinists. But that label is not nearly as useful as telling people what you actually [...]

5 Big Myths About Calvinism–John Samson

Reformation Theology I speak for many when I say that I have not always embraced the doctrines of grace or what is commonly called Calvinism. Its actually unfortunate that a man’s name is associated with the doctrines that came out of the Protestant Reformation. Calvin was not the first to articulate these truths, but merely [...]

Human Inability–Charles Spurgeon

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.”–John 6:44. Coming to Christ” is a very common phrase in Holy Scripture. It is used to express those acts of the soul wherein, leaving at once our self-righteousness, and our sins, we fly unto the Lord Jesus Christ, and receive [...]
