It’s been 6 weeks of steady Monday-morning posting by our Brother
Russ. In fact, one of those weeks he even hit us with a couple of goodies to
mix into the bag. There’s been some great commenting going on (which I have to
port over to the commenting system so don’t get upset if you don’t see that
your two cents didn’t make it over yet) and there’s been some overspill onto
other sites. I’d like to thank Brother Russ for his consistent posting,
friendly tone, diligent intelligence and reliance on Scripture. I’ve asked the
brother to stick around and God willing he’ll start something else in the
future—perhaps something I could interact more with since I was pretty much out
of commission with my new baby. Anyway, here’s the series in its entirety: Russ
seeking out something beyond Calvinism and Arminianism.

Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible
Grace, Perseverance Preservation of the Saints, Sovereignty of God and an aside
On Faith: extra thoughts on Unconditional Election.

It’s one thing to try to encourage someone to pray during tribulations
but there goes James…”Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you
encounter various trials…” Why is he saying this? Does he have some
sick fascination with tribulations? What are you talking about James?
