During the sermon today he said the following.

These comments disturbed me as they undermined the doctrine of Total Depravity for a sinner cannot choose God, for his nature and will are unable to do so without God granting Regeneration which proceeds faith and a response. His other comment was also problematic as it is not us whom does the saving, but God. God does not promise to grant a bunch of decisions just because we are walking with him. Don't know where he got that from. Plenty of Godly people are not seeing people getting saved, but are faithful and out witnessing when able. Are they not living for the Lord due to the lack of responses?

Generally speaking to date I have kept my opinions to myself at this church. Iconlast said its wise to have grace, and a recent Way of the Master Minute devotional spoke about not being judgmental on other christians, but just praying for them, and not following their example. I have had plenty of fights, debates, and arguments in the past when I have acted immature trying to correct people in churches, and in this case perhaps I should just remain silent.

True that some of the books by Mac, Washer, and Comfort are very condemning and judgmental on those whom disagree, but its wise to have grace... Yes indeed grace...What say you?

Would say that the bible does teach us that we need to live godly lives for jesus, as people will observe our walk, and those being led by the lord , will indeed ask us for that hope we have in Him, and so God can use us as living Epistles to be read by others!
