Going Back to Pink’s Introduction in His Book The Sovereignty of God.

Mario Herrera

Pink's introduction causes us to think seriously about God and His control over the universe. With so much talk about Satan and his power against God, who really is in control? When I first read this introduction, I found it captivating. What do you think? Here it is: "Who is regulating affairs on this earth today—God, or the Devil? That God reigns supreme in Heaven, is generally conceded; that ...

Open Letter Addressing A Present Situation…..

Mario Herrera

For about two months now, my wife and I have been attending Grace Church in Laguna Niguel. It is an excellent church with solid, biblical teaching. Our first day at Grace Church, my wife and I were confronted with a situation that we did not expect, but understood that the Lord is sovereign over all events in our lives and that His will is perfect in all things.                 ...

The Doctrine of Election by Pastor James Wenger

Mario Herrera

My wife and I visited Grace Church of Laguna Niguel this morning. A few of the congregants informed my wife that the pastor was teaching from Romans 9 today. Both my wife and I looked forward to it. Right from the start, pastor James Wenger gave the main points of the sermon. The passage of Scripture was from Romans 9:14, "what shall we say then? Is there injustice ...

George Bryson: Weighed and Found Wanting

Mario Herrera

It appears that George is restless! As Stephen wrote in a previous post, George keeps on repeating his arguments. The previous article has nothing to do with us declaring that George will not debate James White. The article is pointing to the questioning of George by James White and the ridiculous answers given by George. We have indeed asked George to provide the video of his cross-examination of ...

The Sovereignty of God the Father in Salvation II

Mario Herrera

How plain and pointed is the language of Holy Writ! It is man who, by his words, darkeneth counsel. It is impossible to state the case more clearly, or strongly, than it is stated here. Our salvation is not "according to our works;" that is to say, it is not due to ...

The Sovereignty of God the Father in Salvation

Mario Herrera

This is the second post of Pink's, The Sovereignty of God. Let the Lord minister to you as you read. "Perhaps the one Scripture which most emphatically of all asserts the absolute sovereignty of God in connection with His determining the destiny of His creatures, is the ninth of Romans. We shall not attempt to review ...

The Sovereignty of God in Salvation

Mario Herrera

For the rest of this year and perhaps into 2010, we will feature chapter 4 of A.W Pink's book, The Sovereignty of God in Salvation. May God be glorified in the lives of His saints. Let our starting point be Scripture! Prayerfully read and meditate on these postings, may God cause us to increase in His grace and knowledge! In chapter 12, Pink declares the following about the ...

The Non-Christian’s True Nature: A Devotion By Vincent Cheung

Mario Herrera

Very recently, I had a discussion with "Frank" in the thread on James White's closing arguments against our friend George Bryson. Frank brought up Paul and how Paul stated that he had received mercy because he acted in ignorance and unbelief. Today's devotional by Vincent Cheung is excellent and addresses this very topic. Here is the devotional. May it bless you to God's glory! "I thank Christ Jesus our ...

George Bryson and James White’s Closing Argument

Mario Herrera

Biblicalthought has been engaged in a discussion with George Bryson regarding the debate he had with James White. In the discussion we asked George to explain his answers to some of the questions posed to George Bryson by James White. You can see for yourself in the previous post the long drawn out answers by George Bryson that do not address what Scripture teaches. In this post examine ...

Thoughts On The Death of Michael Jackson

Mario Herrera

Interesting day it has been today. Everything was as usual. During lunch, as I was driving back to work, I heard the announcement on the radio that Michael Jackson was dead, allegedly. My first thought was that it was impossible, the Michael Jackson, dead? He was supposed to be in concert soon. As I stepped into the office, talk of the singers possible death was everywhere, people asking could ...

A Peculiar and Triumphant Love!

Mario Herrera

Today's message was a beautiful reminder of our Lord's great love toward us His people. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians in chapter 3 prayed the following, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be ...

Greater Union Baptist Church

Mario Herrera

This Palm Sunday marked our first visit to the church of Pastor Ken Jones; Greater Union Baptist Church. It was great to see brothers and sisters that we had not seen for some time. It was a great experience for my wife and I. We were received with grace and the love of the saints was evident! Once worship began, there was a reading of Scripture and the ...
