Is God’s Grace Irresistible?
If anything can be learned from the history of mankind, it’s that our ardent resistance of God’s grace is relentless. So how do Calvinists still hold to the doctrine of Irresistible Grace? Pastor Chris unpacks the reasoning and nuance behind this reformed belief, which is the “I” in TULIP.

When a Child Dies, Do They Go to Heaven?
The death of a child is perhaps the hardest trial a person can ever face. This grief is often compounded with a question almost too difficult to ask: “Is my child in heaven?” As we’ll discuss, the three constants that should inform a Christian’s thinking on this matter are 1) no one is innocent, 2) no person is ever saved apart from God’s grace, and 3) the Judge of the earth will always do what is right.

For Whom Did Christ Die? (The Doctrine of Limited Atonement)
Who did Jesus die for? At first glance, the answer to this classic Sunday school question seems like it would come straight from John 3:16. However, the whole of Scripture gives an answer that is less broad, though far more enriching to one’s faith and assurance. The doctrine of Limited Atonement is the “L” in the Calvinist acronym TULIP. While not the most popular teaching, it seeks to protect the sanctity and effectiveness of the cross.
