  1. Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me ...
    John 6:37-40

    I am reading a book by Peter Barnes, a Presbyterian pastor who lives in Sydney.
    It is only 80 pages long and was republished by the Banner of Truth in 2008.

    In *A Handful of Pebbles - Theological Liberalism and the Church* Peter Barnes shows why the historic creeds and confessions of the Reformed churches can never be identified with modernism, liberal theology, and the One World Religion of ecumenicism.

    I was liberal in my own theology until I found books by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and men like Arthur Pink, Francis Schaeffer, Carl Henry, Jim Packer, John Stott and John MacArthur.

    Watch *Repent Australia ! Preaching Central Station in Sydney.*
    March 27 2019. Torch of Christ Ministries. YouTube.
    This American man is preaching as John Wesley preached, and like Wesley he is used to rejection. If only he had a team handing out Biblical tracts.

    1. I mentioned to a theology lecturer one day that I am liberal in my thinking and he said "progressive is the word we like to use, liberal implies you don't care about the bible"

    2. Can I recommend two videos, Kylie?

      Progressive Christians do not feel comfortable with the Cross and Atonement.
      They are New Age, pluralistic, universalist. They talk about bad choices instead of sin.
      In Scotland Richard Holloway went that way and ended an atheist. He is the darling of the media and the cultural elite. So is Richard Rohr in the USA.

      *Why Progressive Christianity is a dangerous false gospel: Alisa Childers.*
      February 18, 2020. Doreen Virtue. YouTube.

      I have only discovered Alisa Childers, all her vlogs are soundly Biblical, and I am humbled by her discernment. *The Devil is not very creative,* she says, but he knows which way the wind is blowing.

      The second vlog is from a Roman Catholic.
      *Ralph Martin - After the Election: What now?*
      January 26, 2020. Renewal Ministries. YouTube.

      Ralph Martin wrote a book titled *Will Many Be Saved?* which I have read.
      A New Age friend of mine said, *I hate it when I am asked if I am saved.*

      The Gospel offends the natural man.

    3. Correction.
      The Ralph Martin vlog went out on January 26, 2021. Not 2020 as I wrote.

  2. Despite as you know, not being a believer, this is lovely. And carries a powerful message in its few words.

    1. I think many people don't believe in the same way I do but have a belief in something bigger than ourselves. You're probably not one of those but i know you want to see healing for so many issues
