Reformed Doctrine Daily Devotions

If we approach the Doctrines of Grace (a/k/a  Reformed doctrine) primarily just to make us appreciate our salvation more, then we will tend to tolerate Arminianism as just a stepping stone to Calvinism.  Then, we will tend to view Arminianism as just a lesser appreciation of our salvation.  Then, we will tend to view Arminianism, to use a material example, like salt rather than like leaven.  With salt, we are only concerned if we add too much, and even then, there is no real damage.  We can just brush it off.  Is Arminianism like salt where there is no real harm if we add to it surrounding “good” teaching?  NO!  Can we just brush off Arminianism?  NO!   Or, is Arminianism like leaven that can corrupt the whole? YES!   Arminianism is like leaven that can corrupt the whole.                                             

We are called to “purity in doctrine”.  Titus 2: 7.   Scripture warns us against tolerating even a little false teaching.  Such false teaching can corrupt the whole surrounding “good” teaching.
