God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Calvinists insist that the sole cause of regeneration or being born again is the will of God. God first sovereignly and efficaciously regenerates, and only in consequence of that do we act. Therefore, the individual is passive in regeneration, neither preparing himself nor making himself receptive to what God will do. Regeneration is a change wrought in us by God, not an autonomous act performed by us for ourselves. Man’s status in regard to regeneration is that of a recipient, not a contributor. Man is spiritually, in relation to regeneration, what Lazarus was physically, in relation to resurrection: dead, passive, unable to do anything at all, wholly subject to the will of Him who gives life and breath to whomever He desires.
Courage...is the indispensable requisite of any true ministry... Courage is good everywhere, but it is necessary here. If you are afraid of men and a slave to their opinion, go and do something else. Go and make shoes to fit them... But do not keep on all your life preaching sermons which shall say not what God sent you to declare, but what they hire you to say.
Mix cranberries and sugar and set aside. Dissolve Jello in hot water and
cool. Mix all ingredients together and chill. Will keep for several days
in refrigerator.
