Many years ago, John MacArthur, while speaking at Focus on the Family, made a statement that shocked everyone in attendance and readers for weeks afterwards.

We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself.

FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today.

We, the elect of God, are only able to be called to adoption by the blood of Christ sacrificed at Calvary. It is fitting we celebrate His birth and reflect upon how we become Sons (and daughters) … More Study – “Adoption” – 12/22/2025
Once again, my mind wandered, and I forgot to return to this yesterday after dealing with grandchildren.
