No Such “Thing” As Grace
There is no such “thing” as grace, by Sinclair Ferguson “There is nothing between the person of the Lord Jesus and the person of the believer as that union and communion develops and grows.

Real and Present
Adjectives are sneaky. You have to keep your eye on them. Especially those that tend to be redundant and, perhaps, confusing. Let’s say that “Bob is present.” Now let’s say “Bob is really present.” What exactly do we have here?
