I am delighted to find this forum to share and learn.

I have recently signed up on the The North American Reformed Seminary seminary site to help me gain scriptural strength in my humbling belief that I was chosen by God unto salvation. I found that on some other forums I was constantly chastised for that belief, and did not have the scriptural or spiritual maturity to defend that truth.

I am from Canada, so if after 60 years putting up with our winters, I know I have the stamina to get to a point of confidence and knowledge, and I look forward to being able to share and be edified by this forum.
