It’s true… and I admit it.  Reformed Christians, at least those of us who have come from a modern evangelical background are burdened to convince our brethren of the grace, mercy and power of God that our previous congregations have so vocally denied.  But can you blame us?  The bible says in Christ comes GRACE UPON GRACE.  The depths of grace are inexhaustible and yet modern evangelicalism has exhausted it.  Our God is a powerful God who DID accomplish the salvation of His people on the cross.  He does not merely make possible, He does powerfully save.  Best of all, He uses men in evangelism and prayer as a means of pouring out this grace.

I too was once like you.  I use to read the scriptures that clearly taught man’s depravity through the lens of humanism.  After all- we are fed disgusting lies and contradictions that, “if you believe what the bible says you won’t evangelize or pray.”  As if faulty logic or pragmatism were the discerner of true doctrine!

Quite the contrary!  I believe that God is sovereign and that THE ENTIRE WORK OF SALVATION belongs to Him.  It is because my God is powerful, and it is because He can and DOES impart grace to those who are DEAD that I pray.  It is precisely for this reason that He has chosen to use MEN in this work of evangelism.

Modern evangelicals, don’t take this the wrong way.  But your religion is a return to Rome.  It is a counter-reformation that denies the power of God.  It is a movement that exalts men and feelings over truth.  It claims that there must be a balance of spirit and truth when in reality there must be ALL SPIRIT and ALL TRUTH.  Your scales are man made and your balances are broken…  RETURN!

I pray the mighty, powerful God that He continue to awaken the hearts of men.  That men will return to biblical theology and rather than crowning micro-popes they would return and join the historic church in preaching the gospel of our very powerful savior Jesus Christ!

Until then I will love you anyway.
