The Doctrine of Election 12. Its Publication During the last two or three generations the pulpit has given less and less prominence to doctrinal preaching, until today—with very rare exceptions—it has no place at all. In some quarters the cry from the pew was, We want living experience and not dry d... Lee mas

THE DOCTRINE OF MAN’S IMPOTENCE Chapter 11 EXPOSITION (Intended chiefly for preachers) THE PRECEDING CHAPTERS should have made it clear that the subject of the sinner’s moral impotence is far more than an academic one, more than a flight into theological metaphysics. Rather is it a truth of divine r... Lee mas

THE DOCTRINE OF MAN’S IMPOTENCE Chapter 3 NATURE The doctrine we are now considering is a most solemn and forbidding one. Certainly it is one which could never have been invented by man, for it is far too humbling and distasteful. It is one which is most offensive to human pride, and at complete var... Lee mas
