Liberally here is meaning generously. In the quote by Calvin below, I have to say, in my own abject poverty through affliction, I have only known one Christian who fits into the liberal type spoken of by Calvin, who gave generously to try and assist. Everyone else I have known, without fail, has fitted [...]

The Fire of the Lord will both protect us and subdue our enemies
Posted in John Calvin, Quotes on August 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When the Prophet calls him “a fire,” some consider it to refer to sacrifices; but such an interpretation appears to me to be feeble and unnatural. I have no doubt that he says either that “the Lord has a fire” to consume the Assyrian, or that “God himself is a fire,” and that he thus [...]
We must not be like the Papists
Posted in Ponderizations on August 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We should not be reformed papists; in that we downgrade or de-priortize the reading,
profit, and study of the Scriptures in favour of other, theological works, by Calvin or any
other reformed theologian. If we are so, then we are indeed, little different from the
papists, and gross error will exist, we should examine ourselves and question our
salvation, [...]

Recently, on my blogging friend’s Russ’s site, he and I had a short exchange about how the Apocyphria has created heresies which are still ongoing to this day, and still resurge every now and then, often all the more stronger, I guess today, it’s easier to sell, since we have the ability to reach millions [...]
The Importance of True and Pure Doctrine
Posted in Calvin and Calvinism, Quotes on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
These days, doctrine seems relative and subjective to the will of man. If something does not suit our taste, lets just ignore that little bit of Scripture, or even worse, pervert and change it to something which is more suitable to us. Even amongst the Reformed community one often finds diverse opinions and beliefs [...]
Catechizing Trivia
Posted in Ponderizations on August 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The importance of catechizing within the church has been seriously disregarded at least comparatively in recent times. Here in England, it is really non-existent in churches at all. Except perhaps for one semi-presbyterian denomination. I have been remiss in many ways in this aspect myself too, as I have fears about not remembering [...]

The tempters aim in general is at our utter ruin and damnation, and to draw he here to dishonour God as much as he can. But especially his aim is to strengthen the great heart sins, which are most mortal, and at the root and life, and spawners of the rest, especially these:
Ignorance, which is [...]
