Them: "Reformed theology regarding perseverance is an innovation with no historical precedent." Augustine: "Whosoever, therefore, in God's most providential ordering, are foreknown, predestinated, called, justified, glorified...These truly come to Christ, because they come in such wise as He Himself says, "All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not cast out;" John 6:37 and a little after He says, "This is the will of the Father who has sent me, that of all that He has given me I shall lose nothing." John 6:39 From Him, therefore, is given also perseverance in good even to the end; for it is not given save to those who shall not perish, since they who do not persevere shall perish."

Rome is not your home. Repent and put your full confidence in Christ's goodness. "We do not obtain salvation either because we are prepared to embrace every dictate of the Church as true, or leave to the Church the province of inquiring and determining; but when we recognize God as a propitious Father through the reconciliation made by Christ, and Christ as given to us for righteousness, sanctification, and life. By this knowledge, I say, not by the submission of our understanding, we obtain an entrance into the kingdom of heaven. For when the Apostle says, “With the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation,” (Rom. 10:10); he intimates, that it is not enough to believe implicitly without understanding, or even inquiring. The thing requisite is an explicit recognition of the divine goodness, in which our righteousness consists." -John Calvin's Institutes 3.2

Primed for some maple tapping today. #gm #spring #grownostr

I was getting too lax in my workouts. So I decided to try out

Pen and Paper Strength App

Pen And Paper Strength App

Keeping me on task, challenging me to try new lifts and higher weight, and it's pen and paper so no phone distractions.

He's just a cute little guy, but he'll taste just fine. Hard to beat the feeling of dropping a deer on the ground. #hunting #gm #redmeat

Hard to beat a day of chainsawing in the fall woods. #chainsaw #gm #work

We found our first duck egg last night. Exciting time for the family. #grownostr #homestead #ducks #blessings

Also we're liking these chickens much better than the Cornish Rock we raised last year.

Beautiful day to harvest our first root vegetables. Beets, baggies, and taters. #homestead #garden #grownostr #farm
