About Me: in me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good thing.
(Rom. 7:18a)


A special thanks to Philip @ Reformed Voices for making the main page header and the new header on my blog and Ben Davis for the making the video page header and part of the main page headers. I highly recommend both of their websites:

SymphonyofScripture.com
ReformedVoices.com


Many of the CrossTV videos here were originally posted on the internet by Jim Bublitz at Oldtruth.com . I highly recommend his website.

Also, a special thanks to James Lee of Deliverdetroit.com and Bill Patton for providing CrossTV videos, as well.


***If I don't reply to your private message, please don't take it personally if you're wondering if you should. I've become pretty busy lately and don't reply to them like I used to. Also, I normally don't accept friend requests from people I don't already know. Please send a message first before asking questions that you expect an answer on because I might not have the time to answer. I'd rather you ask first if I have time rather than you writing a long email first expecting a reply.***

Are you looking for a church? A frequent visitor to this channel, billnjune, has provided me a link to a ministry he founded in the 1980's called Grace to Russia where they translated books from English to Russian for the pastors and laypeople there. This link can help you find a church in practically any state in America:

Here's another directory, too:

"We only use the term "Calvinism" for shortness. That doctrine which is called "Calvinism" did not spring from Calvin; we believe that it sprang from the great founder of all truth. Perhaps Calvin himself derived it mainly from the writings of Augustine. Augustine obtained his views, without doubt, through the Spirit of God, from the diligent study of the writings of Paul, and Paul received them of the Holy Ghost, from Jesus Christ, the great founder of the Christian dispensation. We use the term then, not because we impute any extraordinary importance to Calvin's having taught these doctrines. We would be just as wiling to call them by any other name, if we could find one which would be better understood, and which on the whole would be as consistent with fact."

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"All the disputes between us and the Arminians may be reduced to these two questions:

1. Is God dependent on man, or is man dependent on God?

2. Is man a debtor to God or God a debtor to man?"

- Augustus Toplady (1740-1778)

"A man's 'free'-will cannot cure him even of the tooth ache, or of a sore finger; and yet he madly thinks it is in its power to cure his soul."

- Ibid.


"The world should realize with increased clearness that Evangelicalism stands or falls with Calvinism."

- B.B. Warfield (1851-1921)


(*Several people have asked me why I have no videos of Mark Driscoll posted. I do not support his ministry. Let me make this point clear, though: I do consider Mark Driscoll to be a brother. I do not question that, but just as I would not direct someone to a brother that I don't believe would particularly edify them and could potentially hurt them *even though I do consider them a brother*, I won't direct people to Driscoll. It's too dangerous to send someone into a room with a bunch of clear liquids, some nourishing and some poisonous, and leave it up to someone who doesn't handle the chart right to tell them which is safe and which isn't. I feel the same way about Driscoll regarding what is right Christian conduct and understanding and what isn't. I may promote him eventually, but now, I can not, in good conscience, endorse someone who sacrifices the integrity of the Gospel for whatever reason he does. We all, myself included, compromise the Gospel in some respect by the way we conduct ourselves at times, but there is a difference between seeing something wrong with that and correcting it and not seeing anything wrong with that at all which leads to no correction. Driscoll holds to the latter. I pray he grows up and realizes that ego and popularity among those who compromise are not more important than the purity and integrity of the Gospel. I know he struggles with pride as he has himself says he does. I will continue to keep him in my prayers regarding this as I do wish him the best.)
