We continue with our fifth lecture through our devotion based on Thomas Watson's book, The Art of Divine Contentment. Tonight's lesson began chapter 10, "Use III: A Suasive to Contentment". This long chapter will be covered for a number of weeks in parts: tonight, we looked at Watson's answers to the first three apologies (or arguments) some Christians give against contentment and to justify discontentment: 1: "I have lost a child"; 2: "I have a great part of my estate strangely melted away, and trading begins to fail"; 3: "It is sad with me in my relations". A short closing piece by Phillips Brooks was so appreciated that it is shared here for reference: Do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle.

Why should we bother to look at Church history? We can see spiritual battles which have already been fought, and knowing of these battles has resulted in an inheritance of writing by certain men which will benefit us very much. Augustine was one of those men.

Pelagius taught that Adam made his own destiny upon the first act of his will, though he was born morally neutral and not actually holy. Adam could have chosen to be holy and he chose to sin. Augustine taught that Adam was created Holy, with a Will and bias towards God. He was inclined to love God, by his own free will. Adam sinned by his wicked desire and was responsible for his own sin. But Adams sin was passed down to all men, because Adam is the Federal head of all men. Augustine taught that The Bible say's that sin and death came from Adam,but we also will and want to sin.Romans 5:12–14 Warfield, B. B Said If we ask, then, why God gives grace, we can only answer that it is of His unspeakable mercy; and if we ask why He gives it to one rather than to another, what can we answer but that it is of His will? The sovereignty of grace results from its very gratuitousness: where none deserve it, it can be given only of the sovereign good pleasure of the great Giver,—and this is necessarily inscrutable, but cannot be unjust. Pelagius said that since every man is a new Adam, free from the taint of sin and corruption. We also can make our own destiny upon the first act of our own will. Augustine's Theology of Grace Warfield writes this: ‎The necessity of grace to man, Augustin argued from the condition of the race as partakers of Adam’s sin. God created man upright, and endowed him with human faculties, including free will; and gave to him freely that grace by which he was able to retain his uprightness.Being thus put on probation, with divine aid to enable him to stand if he chose, Adam used his free choice for sinning,&involved his whole race in his fall

The theology of modern day Reformed covenant theology is not the theology of Augustine and Calvin. It has been hi-jacked by Cocceius and Turretine. Augustine and Calvin were Naturalist headship, Cocceious and Turretine Federalist. Turretine's writings have become the textbook of Princeton University and its leading advocate is Hodge. The opposition has been led by W.T. Shedd. All mankind was in Adam our natural head. It is from him we get our physical and moral bodies. All the elect were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world in the everlasting covenant. It is from Him we get our Spiritual and Immortal being.

In this session, we explore Augustine's refutation of Pelagius, dealing with important subjects such as the nature of fallen humanity, the sovereignty of God, predestination, and election.

This session gives an overview of Augustine's anti-Manichaean writings, treating important subjects such as the goodness of God's creation. Augustine's refutation of Manichaeism is a sound warning to beware of vain philosophies, lest we be taken captive by something other than Christ.
