JESUS CHRIST ALONE SAVES HIS CHILDREN FROM AN ETERNITY IN HELL. 

IS HE YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR? 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.     

Happy Birthday John Calvin!!!!

2009 marks the 500 year anniversary of his birth.

Greetings Gals & Guys!        

The Lord has blessed our monthly meetings. I'm happy to see we continue to grow...  and perhaps grow out of the size of the room! It's been packed which is a good problem, new faces every month, new people to meet! We hope to see you. 

Join us for warm friendly fellowship while we have dinner, Apply God’s Word to our lives and pray.

Weekends: We were getting together for evening beach bible studies in Ocean Grove in front of the pavilion and on the beach. This will resume when it warms up. We have met at nearby Panera Bread next to the fireplace in Ocean Twp. On Rt. 35 just 2.5 miles from Ocean Grove.            


A warm welcome to all!

  Suburban Lights "Reformed Christian Singles" is a conservative historic Reformed Christian ministry that attracts singles 18 and up from many denominations. A rare jewel in New Jersey!

Reformed Theology gets its name from the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

 We believe in Christ alone, in the inerrancy of the Holy Bible, the sufficiency of Scripture, the historic view of the Trinity, and the Doctrines of Grace best known by the acronym T.U.L.I.P.

 Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited (Specific) Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the saints.

 Monergism- "the doctrine that the Holy Spirit is the only efficient agent in regeneration- that the human will possesses no inclination to holiness until regenerated, and therefore cannot cooperate in regeneration."    


  **Suburban Lights "Reformed Christian Singles" meets at Panera Bread Restaurant, RT. 1 SOUTH.7:30 p.m., the 3RD SATURDAY OF THE MONTH 7:30pm-11pm. Near the Menlo Park Mall!

 It is a serious study of the Word and we have fun! Our goal is to draw Coram Deo (before the face of God).

National Association of Nouthetic Counselors

These are certified counselors.

Dr. Jay Adams

  "Competent to Counsel" is a classic in Christian Counseling. Folks, there are many singles with hurts. Unfortunately, even in Christian circles much psychology is not truly biblical. Nouthetic counseling is PURE BIBLICAL COUNSELING. Try Dr. David Welch "Addictions, a banquet in the grave".

 Dr. John Macarthur

 Book "Charismatic Chaos"

Excellent book and sermon series. Why did the original Protestants believe in the sufficiency of Scripture and not the perpetuity of revelatory gifts? How church history shows revelatory gifts dying out with the closing of the cannon. The last chapter of Revelations says not to add or take away from the prophecies of this book (bible). Perhaps Mat. 24, 2 Thes. 2 will shed light on this recent movement. www.gty.org Many articles on www.monergism.com as well.

"Chosen by God"

 Dr. Sproul. NO MAN CAN COME TO THE FATHER UNLESS THE FATHER DRAWS HIM. Did you know the word "draw" really means compel and not woo in Greek?
