To preach about Calvinism sounds like there is no hope or salvation for some of us. Why go to church, why change, why accept Jesus Christ if he only came for a few select, why witness to people, why be involved in prison ministry, why have celebrate recovery, why reach out to a sinner? If it is only a select few why hasn't Jesus returned considering the way the world is today. Why am I worthy? Like you said "everyone has value in the eyes of God", from the pope to a convicted murder.Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06475303688414602299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761634328500164307.post-45208050456037759832009-04-30T16:25:00.000-05:002009-04-30T16:25:00.000-05:00I would even go as far as to say that most of the unbelieving people we know have heard the Gospel, the Good News, and have decided to maintain their separation from God. Their refusal to surrender control to the Loving Father is their choice, not God's.Greg Finchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08283580694571350463noreply@blogger.com
