The David Spoon Experience 4-8-24 part 1

The Eclipse Show: A) Verse 19 is one of my favorite verses because it illustrates the tension between free will and predestination in a single verse. I’m not sure why we can’t just grasp it and keep it simplified in our minds. This verse discusses the solid foundation of God, and it has this seal: number one, “The Lord knows those who are His.” That’s predestination. That’s foreknowledge. Number two, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” That’s free will. That’s independent choice and thought. It’s both for crying out loud.

B) Dave shares the escapades of him and Noelle trying to locate a new home in parts 1 and 2. 

C) Some confusion has seeped into the church regarding Paul’s next statement. In a great house, there are vessels of gold, silver but also of wood, and clay. Some of these vessels are for honor, and some are for dishonor. One view is that regardless of whether a person is gold, silver, wood, or clay, they can still be for honor. Some positions just shine more brightly. Another view is that true teachers are valuable, like gold and silver, while bad teachers are more like wood and clay, not polished or cleaned.
