"The Apostle Paul in Romans 7 and What Does It Mean to the Modern Believer?" by Shane C. Montgomery

15 "For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good." Romans 7:15-16 (KJV)
Maybe a better title for this blog post would be "Caught between Antinomianism and Legalism." I believe there comes a time in every Christian's life where they find themselves in a struggle, a struggle to stay on the narrow path and not to wonder of course and find themselves in either the Antinomian camp or the just as dangerous Legalist camp. Maybe this is not the case for you but for most of us, those who desire to grow in grace, we do struggle with this, it doesn't help any that Paul makes Romans chapter Seven more confusing than Chinese algebra!

"TULIP- The Flower of Truth Hated by Most Christians!" by Shane C. Montgomery

Just what is it about this TULIP that makes so many Christians red in the face?
Five short statements. Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints. These five little, quick statements seem to be a declaration of war to many believers.
