"I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints". (Jude 1:3). Unashamedly working to fulfill the exhortation of Scripture to effectively witness to, and defend, the unshakable Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We shall never feel persuaded as we ought that our salvation flows from the free mercy of God as its fountain, until we are made acquainted with His eternal election, the grace of God being illustrated by the contrast - viz, that He does not adopt promiscuously to the hope of salvation, but gives to some what He denies to others" (John Calvin; III,XXI,1).

I echo the following words of C.H. Spurgeon as they pertain to my beliefs regarding Christ and His Gospel: "I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist; I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist; but if I am asked what is my creed, I reply, “It is Jesus Christ”...the body of divinity to which I would pin & bind myself forever, God helping me, is not...any...human treatise; but Jesus Christ, who is the sum & substance of the Gospel, who is in Himself all Theology, the incarnation of every precious Truth, the all-glorious personal embodiment of the Way, The Truth & the Life". I am a happily married, 30 yr-old Canadian man with 3 wonderful children, a beautiful wife, and a love for God. I strongly believe in defending the fulness of the Biblical Gospel, the integrity of Scripture, purity of worship, the sovereignty of God, and the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. For the sake of the Biblical Gospel I subscribe to the scriptural truths identified in the 5 'solas' of the Reformation: we are saved by (1)Grace alone through (2)Faith alone in (3)Christ alone, as revealed in (4)Scripture alone to the (5)glory of God alone.
