Something to think about… “FaceBook and MySpace may be fine websites, useful places for others to communicate with many friends at once; but Gospel preachers demean themselves, their office, and the Gospel of God in the use of such, lowering themselves and the Gospel to trivia. — Brethren, stay in your studies. Pray, study, and preach the Word. If you will do so with faithfulness, you will have no time for the pursuit of…
Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46) “You call me the way and walk me not. You call me the life and live me not. You call me master and obey me not. If I condemn you, blame me not. You call me bread and eat me not. You call me truth and believe me not. You call me Lord and serve me not. If…
First, it is evidently something very blessed and joyous, for our text speaks of the “good news of the grace of God.” Secondly, it is the opposite of Law: Law and grace are antithetical terms: “The law was given by Moses-but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). It is significant that the word “Gospel” is never found in the Old Testament. Consider a few contrasts between them: The Law manifested what…
Now the Gospel of God’s grace is epitomized in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” All genuine reforms or revivals in the churches of God must have as their basis a plain declaration of this doctrine. The tendency of Christians is like that of the world, to shy away from this…
The news here in NY was the passing of the Gay Marriage Bill on Friday night… It didn’t come as a surprise, yes I’m grieved that it finally passed. I’m grieved because it goes against the Word of God and His mandate for marriage. But I will say this (the decision) has impeccable timing. We’re not caught off guard here, In Sunday school as you all know we’re in Romans… Romans 1:18-32 It’s very…
Regarding what happened last night in New York State… I find only one answer… The faithful teaching and preaching of God’s Word and Prayer!
“It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.“ A.A. Hodge
Every church should be in its community, as nearly as possible—what Christ would be—if He lived again in human form in a house just where the church stands. Imagine Jesus living here, and people coming to Him just as they used to do when He had His home for many months at a certain home on a certain street in Capernaum. Would not our church become a wonderful Mecca for weary pilgrims? The sorrowing,…
I love this video from Dr. Lawson… So Encouraging! Here then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God’s Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy. (R.C. Sproul Knowing Scripture.)…
I left church feeling a little down, but thinking back on it… I think it was just God sharpening my discernment. Usually I read when feeling his way… I read a real lot this past Sunday, I read most of the book of Joshua just to get the context right in my mind, I read a lot in Romans and then some in Acts, then I got to Acts 17:11 Now these were more…
