Is God the author of sin and evil? Do we actually have free will? Did Jesus die for everyone,

or just some? In For Calvinism, Michael Horton provides a deep and thoughtful response to some of the

most common misconceptions of Calvinism. He explores the historical roots of reformed thought,

unpacked doctrines like election and perseverance,

and encourages faith and practice in today's world. This month,

You may not have realized it, but we are going through a massive shift in the United States

when it comes to going to church. Jim Davis and Michael Graham Wright.

In the United States, we are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious

shift in the history of our country,

as tens of millions of formerly regular Christian worshippers nationwide have decided they no longer

desire to attend church at all. To put it bluntly, people aren't going to church anymore. One interesting

piece of information is that many of the ones who have stopped attending church continue to believe

in things like the Trinity and Jesus' resurrection from the dead. There's a massive group of people

who continue to profess the truth of the Christian faith apart from commitment to a local church.

Maybe you've heard people say things like, I don't need to go to church to be a Christian, or

the church isn't a building, it's a people.

Or you don't go to church, you are the church.

These types of slogans reinforce the idea that being a part of a church isn't what really matters,

not as much as your personal relationship with Jesus.
