When taken to extremes, both Arminianism and Calvinism can produce unbiblical heresies. Arminianism may lead to the ditch of Open Theism while Calvinism may lead to the dictch of Hyper-Calvinism. Both of these fall way short of the Biblical truth.

The unchangeable cerrtainity of God's promise.

The damning consequences of apostasy and the needed encouragement for true believers.

Dullness of hearing leads to spiritual immaturity.

The good folks over at www.sbctoday.com have a new blog post accusing youth pastors all over America with this secret conspiracy to indoctrinate youth groups with Calvinism. According to their claims, students are converting to Calvinsims in "spellbound droves." Is this true? What evidence is there? Pastor Sean interacts with this blog's almost comical attemp to address an apparent problem in the SBC.

Don't miss out on heaven because of unbelief, but instead submit yourself to God's powerful Word, hold fast your confession, and draw near the throne of grace for help in your weaknesses.The audio recording quality on this is not the best...we apologize.

Pastor Sean interacts with Houston Baptist University philosophy professor Arminian Jerry Walls who teaches "What's Wrong with Calvinism?" He denies total inability and God's freedom to choose.

This passage shows how Christ is both our Pioneer and Priest of our salvation who came in the flesh (incarnation) and died to satisfy God's wrath (propitiation). We fight the temptation to drift away from Him by SEEING Jesus who brings many sons to glory.

Pastor Sean addreses FIVE Major views of how Christians deal with sin in our lives: Wesleyan, Pentecostal, Keswick, Emergent, and the Biblical Reformed view. How do you kill sin? What is my role and the Holy Spirit's role in growing in Christ? Can I ever be perfect? Do I have to speak in tongues? Do I simply "let go and let God?" Do I practice yoga? Or do I by the Spirit put to death the flesh.
