The flesh belongs to the soul, but the soul does not belong to the flesh. For the lesser belongs to the greater, not the greater to the lesser. But the law of sin - which is sensual pleasure - has become interlaced with the flesh through the fall. Because of this the flesh has been condemned to suffer death, for the purpose of death is to destroy the law of the flesh. Hence the man who knows that because of sin death was introduced, in order to destroy sin, always rejoices in his soul when he sees that, as a result of his many sufferings, the law of sin is withdrawing from his flesh, thus preparing him to reÂceive in the spirit the blessed life that is held in store. For unless in this present life the law of sin, evidenced in the will’s attachment to the flesh, is drained from the flesh as though from some vessel, no one can receive that blessed life. |

Glad to hear that you "Mortify" daily, Barry. I sometimes wonder if some Christians do this in obedience to Scripture. Some Great sermons on SA for mortification including John Owen the Puritan. 
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. I have been reading puritan books for years. THEY have ministered my soul with a truth of unfolding the scripture. |

The decrees of God relate to all future things without exception: whatever is done in time, was foreordained before time began. God’s purpose was concerned with everything, whether great or small, whether good or evil, although with reference to the latter we must be careful to state that while God is the Orderer and Controller of sin, He is not the Author of it in the same way that He is the Author of good. Sin could not proceed from a holy God by positive and direct creation, but only by decretive permission and negative action. God’s decree is as comprehensive as His government, extending to all creatures and all events. It was concerned about our life and death; about our state in time, and our state in eternity. As God works all things after the counsel of His own will, we learn from His works what His counsel is (was), as we judge of an architect’s plan by inspecting the building which was erected under his directions. |

Ah????? Something is radically amiss here.
The sobering reality that Yahweh in His sovereignity allows evil to exist for a season is far from His good, acceptable and perfect will and the reality of the kingdom of God that Scripture teaches we are to seek and persue.
So what is the duty and responsibility that the apathy modern day Calvinism produces in so many and excuses them from so that thy might pretend a form of godliness and deny its power?
-Fervent Intercessory Prayer?
-The Great Commission?
-Our own individual, and only by the grace of God, personal holiness and sanctification?
-The Spiritual Warfare, Faith and Labor out of LOVE for Jesus Christ (grace is NOT opposed to labor, just merit) to see the Power and Glory and The Truth and Righteousness of God prevail against the vile sin that fallen humanity loves so much, to see them (after we ourselves) and only by the grace of God, do some serious repenting and calling upon the name of the Lord that He might save them from their sins and a genuine turning to the Lord Jesus Christ to know Him, love Him and serve Him all their days? The decrees of God relate to all future things without exception: whatever is done in time, was foreordained before time |

Perhaps if God approved of LGBT Pride, that is, if it were unlike other forms of pride, which he doesn't approve of... Mike... God is in control, unless you believe otherwise..? Why he allows such to be, is His decree.. |
