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 […]
GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY Genesis 12: 1 “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” Within scripture we find one of two things happening to the Lord’s people. One, the Lord […]
THE TRUE CHARACTER OF UNBELIEF In all unbelief there are two things — a good opinion of one’s self and a bad opinion of God. Man’s good opinion of himself makes him think it quite possible to win God’s favor by his own religious performances; and his bad opinion of God makes him unwilling and […]
The law is lawfully used as a means of conviction of sin: for this purpose it was promulgated (established) at Sinai. The law entered, that sin might abound: not to make men more wicked, though occasionally and by abuse it has that effect, but to make them sensible how wicked they are. Having God’s law […]
Free grace no more makes a person want to sin than health makes a person want to get sick again. The notion of sovereign grace giving people a license to sin is the foolish excuse of Pharisees who are not willing to give up their own righteousness. Paul Mahan

Saving faith is not merely a mental assent to the Word of God, but a taking hold of God in His Word — believing God. Therefore, unbelief is not the mere disbelief of some statements of fact, but disbelieving God. Unbelief is a rebellious heart calling God a liar!!! Maurice Mongomery
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. (Psa 13:6) Faith keeps the soul from sinking under heavy trials, by bringing in former experiences of the power, mercy, and faithfulness of God to the afflicted soul. Hereby was the psalmist supported in distress. Oh, saith faith, remember what God hath […]
“SAVING FAITH” The faith of the natural man, the unregenerate man, is reasonable, logical, and often very influential (Matt. 7:21-23); but the faith of the Christain is a gift of God, a miracle, and is always the producer of a radical change in those who possess it. A man cannot possibly possess saving faith whose […]
