Just uploaded an audio file of an other section of Aylette Raines’ great book, “A Refutation of the Doctrine of Total Hereditary Depravity.” He calls this section, “On the Power of Truth and Its Fitness to Operate on Human Nature.” His argument is that the truth as preached by the apostles, combined with the evidence of miracles and prophecy, is the converting power of the Holy Spirit. Special direct operations of the Spirit in conversion are not taught in the New Testament. Have a listen! His writing is great!

The Inauguration of the New Institution, Ben Franklin
I just posted the 10th sermon in Ben Franklin’s book of sermons, The Gospel Preacher. True to form, this sermon meets every expectation of quality preaching for which Franklin was so widely known in his day. Thanks to therestorationmovement.com for the photo of Franklin’s gravesite in Anderson, Indiana.
