Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve, Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul) Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield) “With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

Revisiting Young, Restless, Reformed

It's 'old hat' now, but still relevant to those who missed it in 2006. It's this, an article from Christianity Today that I thought I had lost. but ran across it tonight, without even having it in mind. Was that providential, or what? Click on the article title: Young, Restless, Reformed.

On the same theme, and still more recently (June-August / 2007), on his 9Marks Website, Mark Dever wrote an excellent ten part series, Where’d All These Calvinists Come From? charting the historical resurgence of Calvinism in America. For convenience, I'm providing a direct link to each of the articles:

WHERE'D ALL THESE CALVINISTS COME FROM?
Part One: The Writings of C.H. Spurgeon The Writings of C.H. Spurgeon (1940s)
Part Two: The Preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones(1940s-1950s)
Part Three: The Banner of Truth(1950s)
Part Four: D. James Kennedy’s Evangelism Explosion(1960s-1970s)
Part Five:  The defense of Biblical Inerrancy (1970s-1980s)
Part Six: The Presbyterian Church in America (1970s-1990s)
Part Seven: J. I. Packer and Knowing God(1970s-1990s)
Part Eight: The teaching of R.C. Sproul and John MacArthur (1970s-2000s)
Part Nine: John Piper and Desiring God(1980s-2000s)
Part Ten: Arminianism and the rise of secularism and the decline of Christian nominalism
