13th Annual Family Elk Trip
Elk herds live near north-central Pennsylvania. We take our trip this time of year, because this is when male elk bugle. We arrived on top of a hill ca 4:45am at night quietly listening until sunrise. Sometimes we also hear coyotes and owls.

He wasn't saying fulfill the law and you will get eternal life. Jesus was saying this to point the young rich ruler's sin and his need for Jesus to be his Savioe, Surety, Advocate, and Friend.

'The instrumental cause of justification is faith. We are justified by faith correlatively, that is, we are justified by that which is the correlate of faith, namely, the obedience of Christ. The meaning is, 'tis the obedience of Christ, not faith itself, that justifieth, i.e. that which is apprehended, not that which doth apprehend.'

Calvin did not murder him, but he supported the councilβs sentence. What did Servetus believe, and why did Calvin support his execution?

What did God mean by subduing sin and how was it to be done in his case?
βYou will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.ββ

That not even the slightest desire or thought contrary to any one of God's commandments should ever arise in our hearts.
Rather, with all our hearts we should always hate sin and delight in all righteousness.
