We are Bibliophiles and especially for Reformed, Christian theology and historical books but we love more than anything God's Word, the Bible!

"Calvin's Institutes"_:John Calvin
"The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination"_Loraine Boettner

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. I Cor 10:31
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Rom 12:19
"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample
them underfoot and turn to attack you." Matt 7:6

"A Christian, above all people, should live artistically, aesthetically, and creatively."

"The JoyPals Network" and affiliated ministries of JoyPals.com and ReformedWomen.org. Reformed Women is a group of Christian women dedicated to the Bible and Reformed theology (Calvinism). We are Calvinists in practice in that we believe in the total sovereignty of God and apply that theology to all aspects of our life. We seek by the ReformedWomen Forum Board to enhance our ministry to our families and others and as a source of sharing, praying, encouragement, support and help to our sisters-in-Christ. ReformedWomen is actively involved in Bible and Book Studies. We are women who love Christ, pray for and serve one another. If you are seeking to have a closer relationship with Christ, come and join us. We are women of faith from Presbyterian, Reformed, Reformed Baptist or other Reformed churches and/or are 5-point Calvinists. This is a no fluff, sound biblical and theological group.
There is but one only, living, and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure
spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions; immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute;
working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will, for his own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering,
abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek him; and withal, most just, and terrible
in his judgments, hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty. WCF, Chapter 2:1, Of God, and of the Holy Trinity.
Meditation, Fifth Century
His omnipresence is our ample territory or field of joys, a transparent temple of infinite lustre, a strong tower of defence, a castle of repose, a bulwark of
security, a palace of delights, an immediate help, and a present refuge in the needful time of trouble, a broad and a vast extent of fame and glory, a theatre
of infinite excellency, an infinite ocean by means whereof every action, word, and thought is immediately iffused like a drop of wine in a pail of water, and
everywhere present, everywhere seen and known, infinitely delighted in, as well as filling infinite spaces. It is the Spirit that pervades all His works, the
life and soul of the universe, that in every point of space from the centre to the heavens, in every kingdom in the world, in every city, in every wilderness,
in every house, every soul, every creature, in all the parts of His infinity and eternity sees our persons; loves our virtues, inspires us with itself, and
crowns our actions with praise and glory. It makes our honour infinite in extent, our glory immense, and our happiness eternal. The rays of our light are by
this means darted from everlasting to everlasting. This spiritual region makes us infinitely present with God, Angels, and Men in all places from the utmost
bounds of the everlasting hills, throughout all the unwearied durations of His endless infinity, and gives us the sense and feeling of all the delights and
praises we occasion, as well as of all the beauties and powers, and pleasures and glories which God enjoyeth or createth.
