Those whom God chooses are chosen out from among all others. They who are chosen were in the same sinful condition, the same misery as the whole of the race. They were alike partakers of corruption, morally and spiritually destitute of anything good. They were, like all others, at enmity with God, serving Satan, deserving of death and condemnation, without righteousness. There is no distinction between elect and non-elect prior to the distinction that election makes.

[EDITOR's NOTE: This will be the last mailing from the list until next year. Merry Christmas!]

A young woman brings her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner, her
mother tells her father to find out about the young man, so the father
invites the fiancee to his study for a chat.

"So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man. "I am a Torah
scholar," he replies. "A Torah scholar. Hmmm," the father says.
"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to
live in, as she's accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she
deserves?" asks the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young
man replies, "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiance. The conversation
proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist
insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?",
and the father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good
news is he thinks I'm God."
