Being a Father

Posted 23rd June 2012 at 10:25 PM by faithsmessenger

Another Father’s day has come and gone and with it came apologies from my children for not being able to do more for me or for not giving me gifts wrapped in festive paper and bows. And indeed, I have to confess that once again my children have missed the mark this Father’s Day. Another year has gone by without them realizing that they give me Father’s Day gifts daily, weekly and monthly throughout the year.

My Father’s Day gift comes when my children ask my opinion on the various...

Calvin Did teach on limited atonement

Posted 23rd June 2012 at 04:56 PM by Behe's Boy

Cut and pasted directly from the online version of Calvin's Insitutes, Book First, Chapter 7, para 5:
