Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

For centuries two great systems of thought have contended for the soul of the Christian Church--Calvinism and Arminianism. Each has viewed what Paul calls “the truth of the gospel” from a different perspective, and for sure, each has been blessed by the Lord for each sees truth
that is important to understand when the earth is to be at last lightened with the glory of the final message (Rev. 18:1-4). There are sincere people who are seeking to build a bridge between the two communions of understanding.

If devotees of either regard themselves as “rich and increased with goods, in need of nothing,” they will be like the ancient scribes and Pharisees of whom Jesus said that the kingdom of God had swept over them unawares (Matt. 12:28; Luke 11:20; Rev. 3:17). Only the humble in
heart who “hunger and thirst after righteousness” can be “filled.” The history of the ancient people of God has lessons that we must learn.

Paul’s “truth of the gospel” (Gal. 2:5, 14) transcends both Calvinism and Arminianism as commonly understood. God has not predestined any to be lost; He has elected “all men” to be saved in that Christ died for “all men,” but any man can reject the gift already given to him.
And the idea that although He died for “all,” none reap any benefits from His sacrifice, unless they believe is likewise far short of that “truth of the gospel.” Jesus says that because of the cross of Christ, the Father sends His rain and sunshine on the just and the unjust (Matt.
5:45), and He has “given,” not merely offered, the “birthright” to “every man.” But one can “despise” it and “sell” it. Don’t!
