So…I’d like to apologize to those who will find this offensive due to their Arminian tendencies, and/or distaste for Calvinism in general…
Again, I’d LIKE to…but I’m not. Why? Because this is just plain funny…

So, I am very thankful to be back in Washington right now. We were flying back from my seminary graduation yesterday with a layover in Denver. However, our flight to Seattle from Denver was canceled.

So apparently for this holiday season, Planned Parenthood is offering gift certificates. This might be one of the most appaling things that I have ever seen.

This is outrageous.
Calvinists have often been called many things…but this would be a first in which Calvinists are referred to as actually being Pelagians (regarding their pre-fall position of Adam at least).

John 11

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short [...]
