Lazarus Wasn’t Pushing While Christ Pulled

Posted on Friday, April 6, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Now when Jesus performed this miracle, he did not first have to secure the cooperation of Lazarus. Rather, the miracle resulted in the cooperation of Lazarus.

Breeze in a Can

Posted on Thursday, April 5, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

As Irresistible As It Gets

Posted on Monday, April 2, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“When God acted in creation, he did so ex nihilo . . . so we speak of creation. But no one speaks of the doctrine of irresistible creation. However, when we think about it for a moment, we should realize that creatio ex nihilo is about as irresistible as it gets” (Irresistible Grace, in After …

The Political Results

Posted on Friday, March 30, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

The Whole Point

Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Jesus did not come in order to try to save the world, if the uncooperative world would only let Him. He came to save the world; He will be satisfied with nothing less than a saved world. That was the whole point” (Heaven Misplaced, p. 127).
