Helloooooooo and happy March to all of y'all! I am so extremely happy that Spring is nearly here. I was just telling some friends that I have had Spring fever since December. I'm even wearing a summer skirt and a tank top right now. It is 45 degrees outside. BUT, the sun is smiling and so am I. :) Alright, so I have had some time on my hands lately. Not really a lot of time, but more than I have had all school year. At any rate, I have been reading a book(gasp...no, really???;P). This book is Chosen By God by R.C Sproul. It is one of my favorite books ever. I have had a hard time getting into theological books in the past. Not that I don't love theology, because I definitely do. But, I have found that this book is really easy to get into and the subject matter happens to be one of my favorites: election and predestination. There are so many questions that come up about Arminianism vs. Calvinism. It is one of the most discussed issues among the Church. Most people seem to want to avoid the topic because they don't want their view of God to be challenged. That is totally wrong. I mean, if you love God and want to know His will and His words to YOU (that are meant to be understood, by the way..why would God give us the Bible and not let us understand it?)then you have got to search out the hard things! I know I have been guilty of this same wrong, but I have always been glad when I have been challenged...it has built me up every time. SO anywayyyyyyy...This book answers those questions and gives a whole new angle on Christ's sovereignty and plan of salvation. I highly recommend it.If any of you live near me, I would be more than pleased to lend you my copy. I am totally going to keep you guys accountable on reading this. I might bug you every month until you read it. Really, I am not kidding. :) Those of you who HAVE read it know exactly why I love this book so much. Please comment and get others interested in this book! If this topic is new to you and you DO end up reading the book...it will change your life. That's dramatic, I know. For real, though, it probably will. It sure changed my view of God and the whole Bible after reading it! Alright, I will quit rambling. I totally don't write in paragraphs, I know this. Deal. ;P Also I am not adding a picture which irks me, but I don't feel like going through the extra steps. Lazy day.
