Moses is our fourth child and by far the most difficult to bring into the world. Tuesday evening as Jennifer and I were heading up to bed (around 11:30) she started experiencing complications from Placenta previa. We loaded our sleepy kids into the minivan and headed to the hospital. Jennifer went through a battery of tests over the course of the night then around 8am the doctor came in and said that we would just be waiting around for a while…. we went about our morning, getting the kids together then 20 minutes later. Doctors and nurses rushed in and said to scrub up because we were having the baby now! I got on the phone and called Pastor Bryan and he came to the rescue within 10 minutes. Jennifer was in the OR for more than 2 nerve racking hours. but eventually word was delivered that everything was well.

Jesus, you give life and take it away… thank you for giving it today. You are our source and the one who will provide for every need he will ever have. Thank you for this gift. Amen

For The Theo-lokester

Posted by clintclifton on

For the past 5 years or so I have been listening to Dennis McCallum’s teaching. He’s a brilliant expositor and an Arminian. Last week I listened his teaching on Romans 9 which I have been skipping over for several months now. Although I am convinced that McCallum’s conclusions are quite erroneous – I have to say that he has made the best attempt at an Arminian exposition of Romans 9 I have heard to date. I would encourage all of the Theo loving lokesters out there to give it an honest listen as it is likely the best argument for Arminianism you will ever hear from Roman’s 9.
