What is Calvinism?
When talking about Calvinism, most would think of the acrostic T.U.L.I.P. However, they little realise that this is infact a response to the erroneous 5 articles of Remonstrance. It is sad to think people argue against Calvinism without actually knowing what it is, this is either through ignorance or arrogance, for to believe you are saved other than by God alone, is partial works salvation, perhaps semi – pelagianism or worse based on Palagianism!
Anyhow, below is a short video clip answering what is Calvinism.

Tongue in cheek you tube Video,Calvinism
When I read the title I was not too sure what it meant, so I watched the video clip. It is funny and I hope Arminians don’t take too much offence, of course, on a serious note and although it is tongue in cheek it shows you some flaws of the Arminian theology.
Watch and enjoy!

Being a visitor of the Irish Calvinist blog, I followed through to Eriks church website (Omaha Bible Church south campus). I found a fresh looking site with the added bonus of audio sermons.
I have just listened to Eriks ‘Day of Atonement’ sermon, it was very good. Because I like what I heard, I thought you would also like to listen to this free service. They are going through that great book of Leviticus that every Christian seems to bypass; as at first glance it just seems like alot of rules and gore. If you think like this, I would urge you to listen to Eriks sermons on this Jewel of a book.
Just as a side note. A good commentary to get you through the book is ’The Beauty of Holiness’ Philip H. Eveson (Welwyn Commentary Series, Evangelical Press).
The first chapter of the above book has a great title – Communion with the Holy God.
Heres the Link to the audio:
- Irish Calvinist teaching through Leviticus (Obama Bible Church). (I really will have to send an email and ask why the name ‘Irish Calvinist’? Mind you, he does have an Irish look about him
).
Enjoy!
Restoring Sexual Purity
Restoring Sexual Purity is a website concerning ‘Sexual Sin’. There are audio and video files and other resources for you to read and understand the problem whether married or single. below is a quote from the main Author of the site:
“Cybersex, in all forms of illicit sex from chat rooms to pornography, is a perfect metaphor for life without God in a dramatic attempt to circumvent a life of relational pain. Everything seems real in the illusion, but the meaning is lost in the masquerade of self-satisfaction. There is something that is truly missing.”
by Dr. Harry W. Schaumburg
Now, publicly we would all agree and pat ourselves on the back that none of us would be involved in sexual sin (would we????), but it does have a strong hold on Christians. For statistics on pornography and Christians using pornography visit Safe Families.
On the ‘Restoring sexual purity’ website you will find a good internet filter for the internet which will serve you and your family well. Check out the videos and audio, there are also link to books from John Piper and C J Mahaney etc.
The website is http://www.restoringsexualpurity.org/
