I bet most of us have heard about something called Calvinism. In fact, the people who are responsible for making this term famous are the critics of it. They are the ones on the campaign of telling all of us that “Calvinism is a cruel false doctrine that misrepresents the character of God.” Allow me, therefore, to give you a brief, yet clear explanation of it. What I don’t want is for you to agree with those who criticise Calvinism while you have no idea of what it is .

The things that I will go down to the grave either satisfied about or deeply troubled for its sake. In fact, that one passion can be divided into two categories. These are…           1.)
