When the solemn and blessed subject of Divine foreordination is expounded, when God’s eternal choice of certain ones to be conformed to the image of His Son is set forth, the Enemy sends along some man to argue that election is based upon the foreknowledge of God, and this “foreknowledge” is interpreted to mean that God foresaw certain ones would be more pliable than others, that they would respond more readily to the strivings of the Spirit, and that because God knew they would believe, He, accordingly, predestinated them unto salvation. But such a statement is radically wrong. It repudiates the truth of total depravity, for it argues that there is something good in some men It takes away the independency of God, for it makes His decrees rest upon what He discovers in the creature It completely turns things upside down, for in saying God foresaw certain sinners would believe in Christ, and that because of this, He predestinated them unto salvation, is the very reverse of the truth. Scripture affirms that God, in His high sovereignty, singled out certain ones to be recipients of His distinguishing favors (Acts 13:48), and therefore He determined to bestow upon them the gift of faith. False theology makes God’s foreknowledge of our believing the cause of His election to salvation; whereas, God’s election is the cause, and our believing in Christ is the effect.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note:  The author says that 1 tsp. dried mint could be used, but dried mint
is nasty stuff, IMHO!
Pour water into a 1-quart saucepan.  Add quinoa; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to a simmer; cover.  Cook for 10 to 15 min., or until all water has
been absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, finely chop the tomatoes, parsley, and
scallions.  Add lemon juice, oil, and mint to tomato mixture. Stir in
cooked quinoa and salt. Mix well.
Let tabouli sit in the refrigerator for a day to blend flavors.
Note:  Also, she neglected to mention that tabouli is traditionally served
at room temperature.
The recipe was from Linda Najjar of Seattle, Washington, and the "Herb
Companion" note on it said: "Substituting quinoa for the traditional bulgur
wheat gives this tabouli a lighter, fluffier, and slightly nutty taste and
enables people allergic to wheat to experience the flavorful joys of this
Middle Eastern dish."
(The Herb Companion, June/July 1993)

“Sunsets – a gift from God”

Leaders have to make decisions day by day. Convictional leaders are determined to make the right decisions, grounded in those convictions. But at the end of the day, all we can do is make the best decisions we can, knowing that the final verdict will not come from shareholders, board members, church members, or even historians, but from God. “Well done, good and faithful servant” is the verdict for which we strive and hope. The decision to aim for that verdict is one we had better make right now before it is too late.

Albert Mohler

In one of his sermons, Spurgeon reminded his congregation about the doctrine of God’s electing some from the foundation of the world. But he noted that our task is to preach the gospel to every creature, not to find the elect. Spurgeon reportedly said that if God had painted a yellow strip down the back of each of the elect, he would run up and down the streets of London, lifting up shirttails, and preaching the gospel to the elect. But Spurgeon reminds us that God has not done so. Instead He has commanded us to “preach the gospel to every creature.” We must urgently appeal to everyone to come to Christ.
