Russ on Total Depravity
WARNING: I’m told that most bloggers will not read more than 1,000
words without beginning to skim the article. If you are one of these
people, you need to skip to the section below that states ONLY A
THOUSAND MORE WORDS TO GO. If, on the other hand, you are someone who
doesn’t like long introductions, and just need to skip to the ‘meat’ of
the article, you’ll want to scroll to the section that st...

Russ on Unconditional Election
WARNING: I’m sure some people felt that after my last post that I
deceived them into reading far more than the typical 1,000 word entry
into a blog. I did this by inserting them into the middle of a dialogue
which removed both introduction and prefatory material. It was not my
intent to deceive…and I ask for forgiveness. It is my promise this time
that by reading the material after the statement that says IT DOESN'T
MATTER AS LONG AS WE LOVE EACH OTH...

Russ on Limited Atonement
Those
of you who have kept up with these posts know how this works…if you don’t like
jokes, skip to The Beginning of the Article, though IMHO, you’ll be
missing out on a really good one. In either case, I have once again gone way
beyond the 1,000 word maximum and won’t even try to get it close. So, if you
skim, it’ll be your loss :).

Russ on Irresistible Grace
Rather than starting every article with a joke, I decided to
use a real life story which, often times, can be funnier than any joke.
I have a three year old son whose chief delight is playing
in either dirt or mud. So much so, that we have needed to place limitations on
his mud-playing. For instance, since we generally don't allow him to play
outside when it is wet and rainy, he found that he needed a source of water for
his mud-making. So, he would often find a bucket, turn on t...

Russ on Perseverance
Believe it or not, this post is near the 1,000 word maximum
(woo hoo!!!). Since most of us will agree on this one (I haven't seen too many
Arminians involved in our discussions, so this should draw them out if they are
out there), I'll forego the beginning joke…just the fact that I'm staying in my
word limit should make you smile :) .

| Sovereignty of God | Russ on the Sovereignty of God
In my last several posts, we began the process of looking at
each of the components of TULIPS in order to see how well this model of
salvation aligns with Scripture. In looking at Total Depravity, we agreed with
much of the traditional position though we found no Scriptural evidence for:
regeneration prior to faith; an understanding that death means spiritual
inability to act; and that the non-believer is unable to exercise faith. Thus,
we sta...
