This is achieved in such a manner and by such ways as are most consonant to His wonderful and unsearchable dispensation, and it is all by free and absolute grace, without any condition foreseen in them to procure it. Because there is not one person who does good and commits no sin, and because the best of men may fall into great sins and provocations through the power and deceitfulness of their own indwelling corruption and the prevalency of temptation, God has mercifully provided in the covenant of grace that when believers sin and fall they shall be renewed through repentance to salvation
It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

Still there are many Catholics and non-Catholics alike who recognize marriage as a Christian affair, and further, believe it is divinely endorsed as a heterosexual institution
Soon after this the symptoms changed and black or purple spots appeared on the arms or thighs or any other part of the body, sometimes a few large ones, sometimes many little ones.

But more recently, the challenges have come from those who take the authority of Bible quite seriously, and argue their case on biblical as well as theological and philosophical grounds. I say this as one who has written a book defending eternal hell, numerous articles and a more recent book defending eternal hell along with heaven, and a Protestant account of purgatory

I put it this way, have you ever sat at a stop sign, waiting to pull out into a busy street? Have you ever had someone blare their horn to get you to move on it? What do you tell yourself? Do you swerve into the road to get that person to stop, or do you get mad and wait or do something passive aggressive like make them wait extra long? How you respond tells a lot about how you cope with peer pressure. and even ourselves? In recent months, I have seen more and more people with fair skin like mine joining protests, lamenting systemic injustice, and condemning acts of racism around the country

What Do Baptists Believe?
Matthew 22:17-21 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. Remember, our responsibility is to God alone and no one else!
