Jonathan Edwards

*RESOLUTIONS
"Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat him, by his grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ's sake.

Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week.

17. Resolved, That I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die."

Six Potential Negative Effects If The Church Embraces Postmodernism (*From Ligon Duncan):

  1. All religions boil down to the same thing.
  2. What's true for you, may not be true for me.
  3. All religious systems, followed sincerely, lead to the same spiritual reality.
  4. No religious assertions can claim to be true and are subject to revision.
  5. Truth claims will simply become linguistic constructs derived from our own presuppositions.
  6. Religious assertions are viewed as good only in so far as they help people live in harmony.
