It is very interesting that in the past couple of weeks two videos and one sermon stood out to me about the doctrine of election and when and if it should be brought up.
The message I've linked on this blog post that was given by John MacArthur in 2004 is quite eye-opening. I would recommend it for people who are on the fence or question predestination and the doctrines of grace and whether it is truly Biblical. It was very shocking and surprising to see the vehemence that some have shown towards it, and yet we cannot ignore Scripture as Christians, can we?
The Doctrine of Election, Part 1
If you listened to the message linked above, it is actually the first in a series by John MacArthur on the subject.

I hope that people will listen openly and consider all of the Scriptures that point to a truly sovereign God. Many people have presuppositions based on what someone has told them and use certain Scripture verses without looking at the context or at other Scripture verses and passages that give a complete picture of a God that we cannot always fully comprehend.
We want a God who fits into our idea of "fairness.". Yet we don't really think deeply enough about what really would be fair.
The video below really emphasize how unbelievers can profit from being introduced to the doctrine of election although they may not fully understand until God gives them a new heart and they dig deep into the Scripture.
