I hope my wife is like this

Here is a video called "I Think my Wife's a Calvinist." Enjoy



Here are the Lyrics!!!!

I didn't buy my wife roses
she does not care a thing for them
instead she likes tulips
they are approved by john Calvin

She does not read that Beth Moore book I bought her
she rather read St. Auguatian
IF she wasn't a Baptist preacher daughter
I think she would be Presybertian

I think my Wife is a Calvinist
She only owns a ESV
I always catching her reading Romans 8:28-30
And Wayne Grudem Systematic Theology
She was a tatoo that says "I heart John Piper" in Greek
She Likes Spurgeon more than she likes me

But that's okay, I don't choose her
She Choose Me

She put me in the doghouse
for liking the emergent church.
she wouldn't fix my supper now
I brought home a book by Norman Geissler
and if you ever meet her
you know she is not mean she really sweet
exepct when it comes to the little bitty matter
of doctern and theology

I think my Wife is a Calvinist
She only read the ESV
I always hearing her quoting Romans 8:28-30
And Wayne Grudem Systematic Theology
She was a tatoo that says "I heart John Piper" in Greek
She Likes Spurgeon more than she likes me

I think my Wife is a Calvinist
She only owns a ESV
She made me burn my NIV study Bible
I always reading Romans 8:28-30
And Wayne Grudem Systematic Theology
She was a tatoo that says "I heart John Piper" in Greek
She Likes Spurgeon more than she likes me

But that's okay, I do not choose her
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She Choose Me
She didn't choose you
She Choose Me

What strip of Christianity are you?

1. Are you Arminianist or Calvinist?
2. Are you a Cessationist or a Noncessationist?

So what do you believe!! Well, I think that I start a small study that will fizzle out like the singleness study about the differences between these 4 groups.

Young and Single hangin' wit married people that could be my parents.

So last night (Saturday the 20th), I went to my Sunday school Christmas party. I had to bring a snack and a white elephant gift. I wrapped in a good ol' fashion Mike Miller wrapping style (paper bag and duct tape)Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I personal did not want to wrap that present but I have 2 copies and my friend told me to keep his. Blue Like Jazz is not a book I would read to get informed about theology unless I was reading it to understand the new liberal post-modern Atheist, I mean Christian, point of view. I was looking thru it and it was hard to give away a book with bad theology. So I did. It would turn out that I would be the butt of jokes because I was young and single hangin' wit married people that could be my parents. It was fun. I told they of a card I sent to my dad about parting to hard can make you look older. Inside the card was look at an example (or something to that effect) and it had a mirror inside (or paper that reflected and acted like a mirror). I was laughing but I was the only one because everyone was thinking about getting that card. It was just a little awkward. The host congratulated me on being a good sport but it was fun in game. You joke with people and they will joke back. We also played Taboo. It was men verse women and it ended in a tie. All the married men stopped because they saw that as a win. I said "Go big or go home" and again everyone laughed at me. I am an all or nothing kinda guy. But I was overruled. Back to the white elephant exchange, I got a kite. It is an eagle and it is tight. Well it is late and I have to wake up and practice really easy songs for church on my cello. Watch the Blog for some pictures of "The Barn" decorated for Christmas and stuff. Later.

Solo Christo! (in Christ alone for Salvation)

A poem by John Newton

His is a poem that I read in the Grace Gem I received today. You can get Grace Gems at www.gracegems.org. Today's Grace Gem was titled "I asked the Lord that I might grow." Here is the poem.

I asked the Lord that I might grow,
In faith and love and every grace,
Might more of His salvation know,
And seek more earnestly His face.

It was He who taught me thus to pray,
And He I trust has answered prayer.
But it has been in such a way,
As almost drove me to despair!

I hoped that in some favored hour,
At once He'd answer my request.
And by His love's constraining power,
Subdue my sins and give me rest!

Instead of this, He made me feel,
The hidden evils of my heart.
And let the angry powers of hell,
Assault my soul in every part!

Yes, more with His own hand, He seemed,
Intent to aggravate my woe.
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low!

"Lord, why is this?" I trembling cried.
Will You pursue Your worm to death?"
"This is the way" the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and strength."

"These inward trials I employ,
From self, and pride, to set you free;
And break your schemes of earthly joy,
That you may find your all in Me!"
—John Newton

Back in England.

I am back in England and also sadden by a preacher that just buried his 3 month old child. It was a great reminder that we are not promised tomorrow or even the next hour. The little girl died in surgery. This is truly hard to understand the pain but I saw a man whose faith in God did not tumble. He knows that God is sovereign. So my question to you, the reader, if there is any, do you have faith in God that would be able to help you through a valley in your life? This man was hurting inside but still praised God that he had a baby girl. He did not get to walk her down the aisle in a wedding but he said after her soul left, he danced with her in the hospital. Again I ask, is your faith in God that strong? If it is not, learn to start trusting God. First for salvation and then to help through the storms of life.

Cambridge, England and the Gospel

Today, Saturday, I went out to pass out tracts with a local church. The local church has a member that OAs so I am more there to make a crowd. One of these days, I will branch out and talk to some of the people instead of offering tracts. Anyways, it was a rough start to the day. I woke up and wanted to get back to bed but knowing that God has something good happening Cambridge, I got up and went. This has been 1st time in 2 weeks that I was able to go to Cambridge to pass tracts. SO I went in force with my 1 million pound notes and round tuits. I gave a lot of million pounds notes. I had one lady tell me to go back to America. I guess the days of Spurgeon and Wesley are gone in England. I guess there are still that OA near the Cambridge University. I did learn, so when I do jump on a box, to use a heckler to attract a crowd. I saw people’s faces change as the gospel was told. But God was faithful and we meet Joel. Joel is in the British Army and was in Afghanistan when a USAF Fighter dropped a bomb on a group of British Army personnel. The fighter was from a USAF base that is in the UK. He was asked what would he have done if he knew that the bomb was going to land there? He said that he would save himself. We used to show the need of Christ. We know that we are to be judged by Christ. So why not seek his protection from God’s judgment? So even if it was cold outside and a heckler tried to make the person OA look dumb, God was faithful provide us with Joel. Please pray for Joel that he will repent and trust in Christ.

"For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many."

In 4 days, it would have been 1 year since I wrote a post about titled "Realization that I am not the person I claim to be." It was a post about being a Christian. I did not think I was one. Well here is another post but it is not in desperation. It is not because I feel sorry about myself. The title is from Matthew 7:13b. I was listening to sermon by Paul Washer. If you think that your Christian life is going well, listen to Dr. Washer and you will be humbled. In a recent sermon called "The Cost of Discipleship," he talked about Matthew 7:13-27.

So I have a questions for everyone. Does non-believers like you because they do not fear you? Do you see the devil, your flesh, or the world constantly against you? Do you look like the world in how you dress, act, and maybe talk?

Here is a verse for you from Matthew 7:21-23. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' "

What am I trying to say? Are you sure that your election is certain? Paul Washer explains that the narrow gate and wide gates are for Christians alone and not Christians and the World. So there are people that call themselves a Christian but still will be punish to hell. If your Christian walk have been easy, are you sure that you are a Christian? Does the world hate you because you show glimpse of God in your life. Do they see that you allow are out to worship God alone?

The Christian life should be hard to do. What do you think Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 7:14 "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."?

Now this also applies to me. This is not punching your self-esteem to make me fell better but also to humble myself.

You can listen to the sermon at Sermon Audio (links to this sermon).

Glorious and Mighty

Here is a song from a must have CD. The Song is Glorious and Mighty from the CD called Psalms by Sovereign Grace Music. You can buy load at Sovereign Grace Music Store. You can also buy it from ITunes which is also located at the Sovereign Grace Music Store. This song is a glorious and mighty song to the God of the Bible. Why can not some of the big names in Christian Music write songs like this. I have found that all the CDs I have from Sovereign Grace Ministry are great. They also have great preaching from CJ Mahaney. NOw to the lyrics.

Verse 1
Majesty, Your glory is shining
Brighter than the moon and the stars
Marveling, we honor and fear You
Above all gods

Chorus
Chorus Glorious and mighty, You’re awesome In beauty
Joyful songs we raise
Glorious and mighty, You’re awesome in beauty
Greatly to be praised

Verse 2
Majesty, You fashioned the heavens
Your decrees can never be changed
Over all the plans of the nations
Your judgments reign

Verse 3
Majesty, we’ll sing with creation
When You come again in the clouds
Every knee will bow down and worship
