"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist
Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac
"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice
"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

"trinity"
That term is not used in the Bible, but is an accurate description of Biblical truth.

I hear this saying nearly word for word a lot.
I personally don't approach scripture like this.
I get my doctrine from scripture rather then getting scriptures to back up doctrines.
After all man has been wrong before. I want to be taught by Jesus Christ Himself.
Therefore I try not to defend a man made doctrine such as the trinity or even calvinism. But would rather ask someone well how do you understand this verse etc.

I have enjoyed the conversation on Steves blog because I don't hold strictly to the widely accepted man doctrines of:
1. Sanctification and 2. Imputed Righteousness
I love reformed doctrine and the old puritans are amazing for bringing us back to the simple truths but they are only men.
I thought it was great for terry to place the emphasis from widley accepted doctrines back to scripture.
Man often overcomplicate what is clear in scripture. To expalin away what the Lord wants to reveal as Spiritual truths himself to us. There are so many things in the scripture that are just not plain cut. I believe this so that we would seek him for the answer not man. This is where all the other opinion can be sometimes a hinderance.
I am not saying this is bad thing to do.
But Spurgeon could be wrong,(rarely hehe) MacArthur could be wrong, same as piper etc
Not in everything for I know that all 3 men get a lot of things right to do with scripture more then me and you but that doesn't mean that the Lord won't reveal you something that he didn't to MacArthur. For the scripture says "Together we have the mind of Christ."
I want to hear you saying this 4given:
I went to the scripture and the Lord Jesus by his Spirit gave me this understanding of the verse and I belive it to be His truth.
Best Regards,
