• C. M. Granger describes the anatomy of a straw man.
  
  
• The Catechizer recently posted part 5 in a series entitled "Who is Sovereign in Salvation?" (Be sure to check out parts 1, 2, 3, and 4.)

• The Seeking Disciple TheMessianicDrew writes, "If Arminianism is true and our witness does make a difference in the salvation of others, then Arminianism will very likely produce more saved people than Calvinism. Specifically, Arminians tend to be more involved in outreach, and if salvation does depend on human free choice, apologetics that acknowledge this will be more effective." Salvation depends on "human free choice"? Did someone just let the Arminian cat out of the bag?

Merry Christmas!

This Week in Calvinism - December 3, 2010

• We Calvinists need to remember this: "The Arminian Christian believes that Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh to save sinners and that the saving work of Christ comes to the sinner by way of the grace of God received through faith. Whatever issues relevant to salvation we disagree upon, let us agree on this: the Calvinist and the Arminian are brothers in Christ."
