REVERENCE FOR GOD’S WORD Octavius Winslow “And Micaiah said, As the Lord lives, even what my God says, that will I speak.” –2 Chron. 18:13 Micaiah was a God-fearing prophet. His fidelity to the Lord stands in striking and instructive contrast with the worldly policy of Jehoshaphat, King of Judah, who joined affinity with Ahab, […]
Substitution Is The Gospel Todd Nibert Particular redemption. Limited Atonement. Definite Atonement. Effectual Atonement. These are all words used to describe the atoning work of Christ on the cross. He died for a particular people. His intention to save was limited to the elect. His atonement was with a definite purpose for a definite people. […]
from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel; which is NOT another, but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ” (Gal.1:6,7). “If thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt NOT build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy […]
The greatest religious deception this world has ever known! (by Don Fortner) We are living in perilous times! We are living in the midst of the greatest religious apostasy ever known.

False religion (Horatius Bonar, “False Religion and Its Doom”) “I will lay your corpses in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.” Ezek. 6:5 There is such a thing as false religion.

It is not without significance that every time the word “doctrines” is used in Scripture, it always refers to false doctrine. Doctrines do not grip my […]
IS GOD WILLING AND NOT ABLE? I thoroughly detest that form of preaching which presents God in the Trinity of His Persons as being willing to save but unable to effect that which He wills. It is commonly heard in statements that begin with, “God wants to…” or “God has done all that He can […]
SOVEREIGN GRACE AND EVANGELISM The preaching of Sovereign Grace is not an enemy of true evangelism. Let me hasten to say that the preaching of Sovereign Grace will kill, deader than a doornail, the message and method of present-day evangelism! And some of us believe with deadly intensity that the false message and method must […]
BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS 2 Peter 2: 1 There are false teachers today as there were before Christ came, as there were during our Lord’s earthly ministry and as there were during the days of the apostles. (Deut 13: 1-5; MT 24: 24-25; 2 Cor 11: 3-4; Phil 3: 1-3; Col 2: First, false teachers come appearing […]
The religion which I want (Letters of J. C. Philpot) I am quite sick of modern religion—it is such a mixture, such a medley, such a compromise. I find much, indeed, of this religion in my own heart, for it suits the flesh well—but I would not have it so, and grieve it should be […]
