a site where the reformed faith and the doctrines of grace are promoted by a Puerto Rican christain who happens to love and cherish the reformed faith and the doctrines of grace and by that grace tries to live it out in the real world. Tim Keller on the Gospel The gospel is: you are more sinful and flawed than you ever dared believe yet you can be more accepted and loved than you ever dared hope at the same time because Jesus Christ lived and died in your place. . . .

Of free will and chocale chip cookies
Free will to most people is defined as the ability to choose and do- -free from any influences. But in reality this free will rather belongs to a mentally ill patient...What the bible teaches is that all persons are born with wills that are free to choose according to its prefences and circumstances . So if someone offers you a chocolate chip cookie and you love chocolate you will choose to eat it, yet if you are allergic a diabectic or you know the person does not know how to bake you may choose not to eat. Yet you may take the cookie even if you are allergic,diabetic or know for sure they can't bake because you like them,you don't want to hurt their feelings or they are the bosses relative or you are depressed etc. Your will is freely choosing according to its prefences and circumstances.
