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. . . .

images of christ
recently on carms discussion board i responded to a postee who posted that images of christ are biblical because martin luther and john calvin sanctions it. I responded in my post that reformed people have their own popes too not just the roman catholics--ours may take the form of godly past reformers and writers past and present,pastors ,sunday school teachers,denominations or lack of one ,confessions of faith etc etc. meaning that all of us,institions and traditions are marred by sin and very falliable-Only God and His word is not and only they have the authority to bind and guide our conscience,minds,heart and lives. And all the sayings and teachings of godly pastors,reformers,sundaly school teachers,past and present writers,denominations,traditions and historic creeds and confessions and churches must be put under the light and authority ofthe holy bible and accepted when they are in agreement and when they are in disagreement to reject them.
