Here is another great post from Spurgeon at the Reformation 21 blog. This one concerns the subject of the unpardonable sin. Spurgeon is great at magnifying God’s grace and minimizing man’s fallen reasoning.

“They did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness” -Jeremiah 2:6
One of the first sins we see God charge his people with is that they are guilty of not seeking him. The charge here is two sided. On one side they had [...]

Paper on Apostasy/Sin Against HS
Posted in Apostasy, Blasphemy on February 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I ran across this great paper on the internet that deals with the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in its RH context. It has some great stuff in it to go with the thought process I’m trying to follow right now. It’s kind of long, but worth the read.

Anatomy of Apostasy – Definition of Sin
Posted in Apostasy on February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of the things that stand out from reading the book of Jeremiah is how he addresses their sin. Surprisingly he doesn’t address sin in the same particularly narrow way most of us have been brought up to view it. He deals with the roots of sin whereas we get stuck on the fruit a [...]

This is a post from one of my favorite blogs that is no longer on the web. It is a post that deals with the subject of how God sometimes opens our eyes to the awefulness of our sins when we are shutting them on purpose. But it is also about God’s rich mercy that [...]

“Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity…”(Hebrews 6:1, ESV)
One thing that stands out about this warning passage and others in Hebrews the more I read them are the similarities between what the writer is saying and the experience of Israel in the wilderness at Kadesh-Barnea (see here). The [...]
