From Darkness to Light
A favorite past time of mine is to read poetry as well as write poetry. I have not written anything since high school, but I decided to take up the pen again. So, below is my first poem called “From Darkness to Light” and hopefully, there will be many to come.
My heart is evil, no man can see,
But its desires are not hidden from Thee.
The dark night of the soul that sin can bring,
Must surrender its power to the King of kings.
Let my joy break forth as the morning sun,
For the darkness dispels and the light has won.
Let me not return to that dreadful night,
But continue to keep me ’till the morning light.
Where Then Is Boasting?
Throughout the blogosphere, you will find many discussions on the theological system called Calvinism. There are some who prescribe to this theological system while others are very cautious concerning its tenets. Also, there have been discussions about Calvinism from Drs. White and Caner to Drs. Mohler and Patterson.
On one site that I visit frequently, the author wrote an entry entitled, “Unlimited Atonement and Universalism.” The blog post basically states that from unlimited atonement comes the natural outcome of universalism. This post received numerous comments between a visitor and the author. Among the discussion, irresistible grace was mentioned. With regards to irresistible grace, the commenter made a statement that I would like to comment on briefly. Just to paraphrase, the visitor asked, if a Calvinist believes that He is elect, what keeps him from boasting in being among the elect while others are not?
