A Sanctuary for Biblical Logic

  Psa 146:1   Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Psa 146:2   While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Praise starts with the Word of God filling the mind. Christianity is a thinking religion and is not a mindless religion. Religion is a devotion of the mind to certain doctrines and therefore the Christian religion is the mind’s devotion to the doctrines of the Bible. Those say that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship, is talking nonsense. He does not understand what he is saying and speaks without defining his own words. A relationship with Christ without the mind’s devotion to all the doctrines of the Bible (i.e. religion) is no relationship with Christ at all.   A practical religion is useless without a doctrinal religion. Emotions play zero part in Christianity. The belief in Christ which leads to salvation only involves the mind thinking of Soteriology and Christology. God commands the saved to con

This commentary is to show why the blessings and promises of Psalm 145 are strictly particular to the elect alone.  Psa 145:1  David's Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.  Psa 145:2  Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.  Psa 145:3  Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  Psa 145:4  One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.  Psa 145:5  I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.  Psa 145:6  And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.  Psa 145:7  They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.    No one has the will and desire to praise God but those whom God causes to approach unto Him in time according to His eternal unconditional election (Psalm 65:4). All

  Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  Psa 1:4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.  Psa 1:5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  Psa 1:6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.    Blessed is the Man (Psalm 1:1a): Introduction to the concept of biblical blessedness What does it mean to be blessed? There are few different Hebrew and Greek words in the Bible that imply the English root word “bless”. Each word has its own

  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his  purpose (Romans 8:28). This verse is most quoted for the Christian’s comfort and assures us that whatever circumstances we experience in our lives, God always works all things for the elect’s good, who are called to the unmerited salvation of the soul since before the foundation of the world for the glory of His grace. The lack of understanding of this verse causes some to lose faith when they encounter trials and tribulations. Even for the elect who is not justified yet in time (i.e. currently a hater of God, but a sure lover of God in the future), the glorious promise of Romans 8:28 is upon them because the goodness of God will lead him to repentance according to His perfect timing (Romans 2:4). His goodness will never separate the elect from the love God. The universe exists for the good of God’s elect and ultimately to manifest the glory of God. " For I am p

  Geneva Theses (1649) and The Formula Consensus Helvetica (1675) disprove some of the common theories that reformed teachers have been teaching their congregations. These commonly taught theories are: God’s universal desire, wish, will, and intention for the salvation of all the reprobates, God’s universal love, kindness, goodness, mercy, and common grace towards all the reprobates, Christ’s universal death for all the reprobates in a certain sense (i.e. Christ died sufficiently for all without exception).  The Geneva Theses were written to refute the errors as taught by the Saumur Academy in France at the time, namely that of John Cameron, Moses Amyrald, Josué de la Place, and Louis Cappel, commonly called Hypothetical Universalism, or specifically Amyraldianism [1] . The Formula Consensus Helvetica, though written later, was also written to refute the same errors. These two confessions prove that the above theories commonly held by many modern reformed believers are the frui
