They only think that they are choosing to deliver meals to the poor; it was predestined, they had no choice but to deliver meals. :)

In the great work, The Doctrine of Predestination by Lorraine Boettner, he describes the Calvinist viewpoint by contrasting it with the pagan idea of kismet. He points out that on a ship where someone has plunged into the briny, the ROP adherent declares says that it was their god's will the person drowns. But the Calvinist says, "perhaps it is God's will the person drowns, but also it might be God's will that I should save him. I shall try."

It is out of love and obedience to Our Father that we do good works for His creatures.

I’m not Calvinist but I like that thought.

I have not met a calvinist yet who didn't think that they, and all of their family, were part of the elect; it is always “others” who may not have been chosen.

Aren't good deeds suppose to be done so that the “right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing”?

Maybe only one hand can get on the Internet or read the paper.
