Posted by on February 28, 2021 at 11:58 pm

“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thess. 5:18 The Lord is working all things after the counsel of His own will. Knowing then that He Who is all wise, all powerful and merciful toward His people is working everything for His glory and the good […]

Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance John 6:37 There is something very comforting to the believer when he sees the “wills”, “shalls”, and “musts” within the scripture. Those words speak of certainty. When it comes to the God of the Bible, we behold there One who is sovereign — One Who does as He wills and One who owes […]

HIS YOKE

Posted by on October 8, 2016 at 11:01 am

HIS YOKE Matt. 11:29 The yoke of self sufficiency, self righteousness, and self worth always reveals a man’s spiritual bondage. This yoke is prominently exposed when a man futilely attempts to establish his own righteousness before God. Men attempt to convince both themselves and others of the freedom of heart, but there is no true […]

THE MESSAGE OF OLD

Posted by on June 15, 2016 at 10:45 am

THE MESSAGE OF OLD Many religious organizations proudly advertise their services as “contemporary”. Their true message is, “we deal with topics that are relevant for today’s world.” These religious organizations unashamedly proclaim, “Tell us what you want, and that’s what you’ll get.

Not ashamed of the Gospel. Paul the apostle declares (by divine revelation) that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. This Gospel, the message concerning the person of Christ, is the power of God unto salvation. It is the message alone by which the Holy Ghost calls men effectually out of spiritual darkness […]

What’s the Difference?

What’s the Difference? 1 Cor. 4:7 A gospel preacher friend of mine was asked a few years ago, “What’s the difference between what you preach and what is being preached in churches that preach another message? — and, if what you’re preaching is true, how do I know that it’s true?” My friend’s response was […]

THE WAY THEY CALL HERESY

Posted by on February 11, 2016 at 6:09 am

THE WAY THEY CALL HERESY But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets. (Acts 24:14) There is only one message that agrees and fully satisfies all that is […]

SALVATION

Posted by on November 10, 2015 at 12:40 am

SALVATION It is most refreshing to hear a sinner confess his need of the Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing that salvation is only by grace through faith, God’s sheep rejoices in that effectual calling by the Holy Spirit. The religion of this world preaches that salvation is man’s response to an offer by God. Nothing could […]
