I agree Stephen. Luther may have been right that the distinction is hard to make between Law and Gospel.

By the way- I was in Nova Scotia two weeks ago. I didn't know the PCA was in NS.
Wow, I wish you would have found us. Where were you in Nova Scotia? I live on the southeast end and pastor two congregations. We have six congregations in Nova Scotia and the ARP has three. If you are ever here again, please contact me. The PCA and ARP are small struggling congregations in the midst of strong liberalism and Romanism. Eastern Canada is a spiritual wasteland that is being judged by the LORD.
