And I am afraid there are Calvinists, who, while they account it a proof of their humility that they are willing in words to debase the creature, and to give all the glory of salvation to the Lord, yet know not what manner of spirit they are of. Whatever it be that makes us trust in ourselves that we are comparatively wise or good, so as to treat those with contempt who do not subscribe to our doctrines, or follow our party, is a proof and fruit of a self-righteous spirit. Self-righteousness can feed upon doctrines, as well as upon works; and a man may have the heart of a Pharisee, while his head is stored with orthodox notions of the unworthiness of the creature and the riches of free grace.

A Message from our Provider:

“You can spurn God’s love for only so long”

Basic principles in confronting and rebuking in love: 1. Guard your attitude against pride, vindictiveness and impatience, but especially against anger. 2. Resist making quick accusations – you may not have all the facts straight and you may be wrong. 3. Think of all the words you will use. Furthermore choose the right place and time. 4. Use patience and Scripture. 5. Be gentle with people which means to be kind, tender, gracious and calm – not harsh or combative. 6. Balance reproof and encouragement and hope. 7. Pray for wisdom, courage and self-control. Also pray that the Lord would prepare the other person or persons to receive your reproof.
