good message.. The doctrines of grace (Calvinism) is hard for people to accept. People want to feel that it is their decision to "accept Christ". They truly feel that it is, but they don't realize that no one comes to Christ unless the Father draws them to Christ. It is also arrogant pride that wants to put man's supposedly "free will" above God's sovereign will for all of his creatures. Men feel better about themselves feeling that they chose Christ instead of the other way around.
