Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker; we are the ones who are running.
If you are of the truth, if you have learned the truth, if you see the sanctity of the truth, then speak truth. We are not called to be deceivers or liars. God is a God of truth, and His people are called to have an enormously high standard of truth.
Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.
Grace and mercy are never deserved.
You have to stop thinking logically to argue that the universe came into being by itself, out of nothing.

The Christian life is to live all of your life in the presence of God.
He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life.

To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.

We may live in a culture that believes everyone will be saved, that we are 'justified by death' and all you need to do to go to heaven is die, but God’s Word certainly doesn’t give us the luxury of believing that.
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.
