    A liturgical thought for today, 19th December, the Monday before Christmas day.

    “O stock of Jesse, who stand as a sign for the nations; before whom kings fall silent; whom the peoples acclaim – come come to deliver us, do not delay any more.” Born into humble circumstances, Jesus is nevertheless a descendant of David and his father Jesse. The family has long lost its...

    For those who hold to TULIP, are any of you non-elect?

    I know it is hard to be sure, and some say it is kind of tempting God to affirm one's assurance of one's own election, but I want to know if any of the Calvinists on CH thinks that they may not be among the elect?
