13th Annual Family Elk Trip Elk herds live near north-central Pennsylvania. We take our trip this time of year, because this is when male elk bugle. We arrived on top of a hill ca 4:45am at night quietly listening until sunrise. Sometimes we also hear coyotes and owls. 1/3🧡

He wasn't saying fulfill the law and you will get eternal life. Jesus was saying this to point the young rich ruler's sin and his need for Jesus to be his Savioe, Surety, Advocate, and Friend.

#2- Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. (Proverbs 12:1) He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. (Proverbs 13:18)

'The instrumental cause of justification is faith. We are justified by faith correlatively, that is, we are justified by that which is the correlate of faith, namely, the obedience of Christ. The meaning is, 'tis the obedience of Christ, not faith itself, that justifieth, i.e. that which is apprehended, not that which doth apprehend.' - John Norton

On this day in 1553, Michael Servetus was burned at the stake in Geneva. Calvin did not murder him, but he supported the council’s sentence. What did Servetus believe, and why did Calvin support his execution? reformeddogmatika.com/calvin…

The Bible assumes it's audience knows what a horse is, but it reveals and defines who the Triune God is, His purposes, redemption plan for His people, and His love for His people (and general common grace toward all men).

What did God mean by subduing sin and how was it to be done in his case? β€œYou will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”” Gen. 4:7
Also, we are told Cain was very angry and looked dejected, but we don't know the level of anger or dejection at that moment (Gen. 4:5). Obviously, it was so bad that he shew Abel, but what mental/clinical state he was in, not enough details are given and that's okay.

β€œthe word 'all' refers in the distributive sense to all sorts of people who, without any discrimination in race, age gender are being called to that saving knowledge of God through the ministry of the Gospel (as in Rom 1:14; Eph 2:17; 1 Tim 2:1, 3-4; Titus 2:2-3,11, etc.).”

Westminster Confession of Faith 19.6 Although true believers be not under the law, as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified, or condemned; yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a rule of life informing them of the will of God, and their duty...
