A Response to the Tired Old Charge Against Calvinism

I was doing my evening survey of blogs when I came across this really cool one devoted to a defense of Calvinism. This website has an article on seven reasons why Calvinists evangelize. Read it! :)

Let us know, above all, that growth in grace is not only a thing possible, but a thing for which believers are accountable.

To tell an unconverted man, dead in sins, to grow in grace would doubtless be absurd. To tell a believer, who is quickened and alive to God, to grow, is only summoning him to a plain scriptural duty.

He has a new principle within him, and it is a solemn duty not to quench it. Neglect of growth robs him of privileges, grieves the Spirit and makes the chariot wheels of his soul move heavily.

Whose fault is it, I should like to know, if a believer does not grow in grace? The fault, I am sure, cannot be laid on God. He delights to give more grace; He 'hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servants' (James 4:6; Psalm 35:27).

The fault, no doubt, is our own. We ourselves are to blame, and none else, if we do not grow.

- John Charles Ryle

Arminian Grace

Arminian "grace!" How strange the sound,
Salvation hinged on me.

I once was lost then turned around,
Was blind then chose to see.

What "grace" is it that calls for choice,
Made from some good within?

That part that wills to heed God's voice,
Proved stronger than my sin.

Thru many ardent gospel pleas,
I sat with heart of stone.

But then some hidden good in me,
Propelled me toward my home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Because of what we've done,

We've no less days to sing our praise,
Than when we first begun.

-Dennis Walter Cochran
