May 5, 2019 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE ROUNDTABLE 2018-2019 What is THE ROUNDTABLE? It is a place where the Sword of Truth is not sheathed until the words of man bow before the Word of God. Roundtable in Theology: Milfo r d Cam p, Mar io Gom ez, Michael Stew ar t, Fr ancis W in ter , Nathan W estbr ook Roundtable in Ethics: Sean Do n nell, Zach Gar n er, Don Gordoni, Andr ew Haw cr oft, Nathan ial Lydick, Jared Penner, Jonathan Williams These men of The Roundtable have successfully completed a one-year training commitment in which they honed their skills at bran- dishing the Sword of Truth in spiritual warfare. These men learned to stand for Christ in an environment where mercy was scarce, challenges were unrelenting, pride was repeatedly left hemorrhaging, and the clashing of the Sword of the Truth with the ideas of man was fierce. Who are the men of The Roundtable? We are those who “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). I commend each of you for your love for God, His Word, His people, and the people Jesus died for. Ronnie W. Rogers “Does God Love All or Some?” addresses Calvinist challenges such as libertarian freedom undermines God’s sovereignty, rejecting Calvinism requires a weak view of depravity, and what about those who never hear the gospel? It demonstrates how human acts like prayer really can affect a person’s salvation, something which true Calvinism precludes. I demonstrate true Calvinism is internally and biblically inconsistent by exploring such things as how the good faith offer is a really a bad deception, God is inescapably the ultimate cause of all sin, Calvinism’s commitment to compatible moral freedom means eve- ry prayer, act, or proclamation that even hints at being able to change outcomes or involve a choice between accessible options con- tradicts true Calvinism, faith does not precede regeneration in Scripture and the analogy of human death cannot be used to demon- strate it does, reprobation is not necessary to demonstrate God’s holiness, God does not have two wills, and the doctrines of grace do seriously affect evangelism. Copies of this new book will be available Sunday in the main hall for $25. Other books that Ronnie has written will be available for sale as well.
