Our point will be to show what Calvinists have missed in their own proof texts. The Giving blog is a tool that will go alongside the video where discussion can happen on a more personal basis. \u00a0Our purpose is to love the body of Christ by bringing healing to a very divisive subject. \u00a0We believe that God is Sovereign enough to draw His people together and that no doctrinal division is too hard for Jesus to solve.<\/p>\n<p>The work on T<em><strong>he Giving<\/strong> <\/em>is ongoing at this time.
