Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

Reformed theology so far transcends the mere five points of Calvinism that it is an entire worldview.

One does not structure the church to meet the felt needs and desires of the tares. The purpose of corporate assembly, which has its roots in the Old Testament, is for the people of God to come together corporately to offer their sacrifices of praise and worship to God. So the first rule of worship is that it be designed for believers to worship God in a way that pleases God.

Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.

The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
