“The son of the bondwoman SHALL NOT be heir with the son of the freewoman” Don’t do it my friend, oil and water don’t mix, neither do works and grace! So much of what is called worship, good doctrine and church growth is just that old bondwoman trying to force her way into the kingdom […]

Circumcision; Necessary or Sufficient? One of the biggest issues in the New Testament was the issue of circumcision. There was a large group of people who professed to believe the Gospel of Christ. But they also believed it was needful to be circumcised (Acts. 15:1-11, Galatians 5:1-6). They did not deny the necessity of the death, […]

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 […]

ALLEGORY OF LAW AND GRACE Galatians 4: 21-30; 5:1 Many who profess faith in Christ also believe that they must do their part by adding their law keeping to Christ’s work. Those who were bewitching the Galatians were teaching just that.  They were not openly denying that salvation is by Christ Jesus, they were doing so […]

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (Matt. 5:17). Clearly, the Lord Jesus Christ is setting before us the reason of His coming into this world as the sinner’s Substitute and as Jehovah’s Messiah. He came to fulfill, which means: […]

Believers do not wear the yoke of the Law (Rom. 6:14; Gal. 4:18), however they do wear the yoke of the Lord Jesus Christ, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and […]

THE Promise of God Maurice Montgomery The promises of God, “said one man, “are like the clothes we wear; if there is life in the body, they warm us, but not otherwise. Where there is living faith, God’s promises afford warm comfort.” Thus we can say with Luther, “Although I am a sinner, yet I […]

“That gracious spirit of our brother Stephen” “…and they (false brethren) were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he (Stephen) spake” (Acts 6: 8-15). Of all the foul, revolting and blasphemous things which I have seen and heard in today’s religion, I must also rejoice with this scripture . . […]

The Beautiful Feet of Preachers Maurice Montgomery “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth” (Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:13-15). Note in the verse above that “Thy God reigneth” is an […]
