To the Praise of His Glory with Jason Gunter
A great irony surrounds this biblical doctrine of God's absolute predestination of all things. Intended by the Apostle Paul to be one of the most comforting and assuring doctrines to the redeemed followers of Christ, predestination is widely scorned by those to whose souls it should soothe. There is no greater assurance of our salvation than to know its eternal security does not rest on the feebleness of our faith.

He has completed a master’s degree in Christian Apologetics through Biola University in La Mirada, CA.

The Loughwood Church Building | Particular Pilgrims
"In the last episode I mentioned that a young John Ash was baptized and joined the
Loughwood Baptist Church in Dorset. This church erected a chapel in the 1650s that is still
standing; a beautiful little building fully restored by Great Britain’s National Trust.
But before I tell you some of the story of the church, let me tell you about the chapel itself
because it one of the oldest and loveliest Baptist meetinghouses still standing in England."

John Ash | Particular Pilgrims
In some ways, John Ash is reminiscent of Thomas Llewelyn, our previous pilgrim. Both men lived during the same years, were educated at Bristol, became moderately well off, and exercised academic gifts and pastoral heart. But the differences brought into their lives by providence, help us understand the variety of life in the Particular Baptist churches of mid-18th century England.
