Understanding Christianity

Dr. Sean Cole continues this teaching through Ecclesiastes. Since worldly pursuits are meaningless, find enjoyment in God’s daily gifts of food, drink, and work. Solomon is going to show us FOUR EXPERIMENTS he undertook in seeking worldly pursuits under the sun that all failed miserably. God has given us gifts so that we can enjoy Him as our ultimate satisfaction. When we follow Christ in holiness, we can enjoy Him as the Giver of gifts. www.seancole.net

Both Calvinists and Arminians believe in total inability, spiritual deadness, and the need for a special working of God's grace in the life of a sinner. Yet, the Traditionalist non-Calvinist Southern Baptists deny total inablity and claim that the Word and gospel alone are sufficent to "enable" a response. Dr. Sean Cole attempts to bring some clarification to this issue.www.seancole.net
