I hope you don’t espouse common grace as your contents page would suggest-it does not exist!
Properly and biblically defined, of course common grace exists. God shows much grace even to His enemies. God “makes His sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45). He does not have to do that at all and it therefore very gracious of God to do so.
“The Lord is good to all.” (that is common grace!)
“He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything… in Him we live and move and have our being!” (Acts 17:25, 28)
He is the giver of all life and even sustains the lives of both Gospel preachers and terrorists alike.
