"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)
We are a community of confessing believers who love the gospel of Jesus Christ, affirm the Biblical and Christ-exalting truths of the Reformation such as the five solas, the doctrines of grace, monergistic regeneration, and the redemptive historical approach to interpreting the Scriptures.

In the first Church of the Frozen Chosen, one penguin has just learnt that he was predestined to be a 5 point Calvinist from before the foundation of the world, much to the annoyance of the others. - JS

Either that, or he's a charismatic penguin who happened upon this gathering.

That's one hyper-Calvinist.

Hyper? hmmm, not sure about that - the hypers are normally grumpy penguins who never share any good news with others in case they might be non-elect.. with joy like that, I think this penguin would have a hard time keeping the good news to himself. :-)

Ha! What can one do but stand around and enjoy the first time experience of snow when one comes along late in life?
