  • The Reformed view of salvation

    Salvation is utterly an act of GodMan has no partGod chose the Elect before the world beganWe were selected, not on merit, from the start The natural man is totally depravedDue to original sin from Adam’s FallWe have hearts of stoneWe can’t respond to a Gospel call Apart from GodMan would lay dead in his…

  • Autumn Reflections

    I meander through the park On a cold autumn day The multi-hued leaves crunch satisfyingly underfoot Reflecting on God’s providence and grace My mood is slightly morose, yet hopeful Squirrels open chestnuts for the long winter ahead Over head a Peregrine falcon soars majestically Eyeing its prey A mouse darts across the open field The…

  • Faith in Action

  • A St. Patrick’s Day Poem

    On this day so full of mirthI think of Christianity in Ireland’s birth Brave Patrick forged the wayPreaching the Gospel to the pagans, a bold new foray The Celtic cross stands strongWith shamrock in bloom we sing this song Modernism and secularism – Satan’s wileIs attacking the faith in the Emerald Isle But God’s Word…
