Subject: Are Reformed people lost souls? |
Bible Note: Dear EdB, I have felt frustrated myself at times. But your post made me realize that "frustration" is not a christian virtue. It is an indication that our faith is not perfect. We are frustrated when our efforts do not produce the results which we desire them to produce... Our will is not being done! But if we believe God and what He has written, even our petty bickering serves His greater purpose for our lives. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. John |
