I really like Al Mohler's stuff.

Nevertheless, few of Calvin's friends or enemies will recognize Calvinism as presented in Estep's article.Hmm, I wonder what Dr. Estep's FR handle is? ;^P

Further, the Bible makes clear that God has chosen a people "chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father" (1 Peter 1:2). Paul, in writing to the Ephesian church, states that the Father has chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, and "predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 1:3-5). The New Testament resounds with words including "chosen," "election" and "predestination." The issue is not whether these are taught by Calvin, but whether they are taught in Scripture.
A paragraph that I can entirely agree with and mean something somewhat different by it than Mohler apparently intends.
