"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20 NIV). Yes, we will all be held accountable. Failing to believe or acknowledge God will leave many atheists without an excuse before a Holy God.

The Stock Boy & the Checkout Girl

By Mark Seay

In a supermarket, Kurtis, the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and he wanted to get some fresh air. So he decided to answer the call. As he approached the checkout stand, a distant smile caught his eye. “The new checkout girl is beautiful,” he thought to himself. She was an older… Continue

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,



As I recall the Genesis account of Noah and the Flood. Mankind's

wickedness and violence precipitated a cataclysmic reaction from

God. That was a lot of rain!



I was reminded at a most basic level that it matters how human beings

think, live, and act. More… Continue

Notes from "Amazing Grace" (Disc 2):

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org





Martin Luther once said, "We should never do anything that isn't needful to our neighbors. The first fruit of

the gospel is love, not only righteousness."



We should see prayer and evangelism as a privelege instead of a necessity. It has been argued by Arminian

that the Doctrines of Grace undermine the need for evangelism. However, the greatest evangelists in the

Monergism can be defined as God simply 'doing it all'. Synergism is God and man working together which is 'works-based' (Pelagian or Semi-Pelagian).

That was a lot of rain!

how human beings think, live, and act. More specifically,

it matters how I think, live, and act. God is neither

*[Excerpt from R.C. Sproul]

One of the most dramatic moments in my life for the shaping of my theology took place in a seminary classroom. One of my professors went to the blackboard and wrote these words in bold letters: "Regeneration Precedes Faith."



These words were a shock to my system. I had entered seminary believing that the key work of man to effect rebirth was faith. I thought that we first had to believe in Christ in order to be… Continue
