“In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon them whom I reserve.” Jeremiah 1:20. What those days and that time refer to is very plain; […]
Election Perverted Some say God looked down to see if you would believe and saw that you would. So, He elected you to salvation in Jesus Christ. What is said here amounts to this; God saw you would do something, then He predestinated you to do it after He saw you would. That would be […]
The pulpit’s real issue is this: Christ, and Him crucified. Men, whose eyes are fixed on Christ, do not argue. They do not love controversy whose hearts are touched with Him. They do not look for issues and sticky theological problems who are busy knowing and showing Christ. Those whose interest is singularly Christ have […]
*To be saved from sins is to be saved from ignoring and despising the authority of God. It is to abandon the course of self will and self pleasing. It is to forsake our way; it is to surrender to God’s authority; it is to yield to his dominion and it is to give ourselves […]
When had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.(Hebrews 1:3). “Majesty” signifies such greatness as makes one to be honoured of all and preferred above all. “The right hand” speaks of power and honour. “On high” means“the highest height,” the most elevated exaltation that could be conceived […]
DOCTRINE VS SAVING FAITH I have heard people say, “Don’t preach doctrine to me.” I say, “Preach sound doctrine to me!” There is no salvation without the preaching and hearing of true doctrine.

I’m not asking for something which is unimportant or optional, but something which is essential to the spiritual well-being of ourselves, our children and all who frequent this assembly. Nor am I asking for something which can be done by anyone and […]
Head or Heart? (From Octavius Winslow’s, “The Coming of the Lord in its Relation to Nominal Christianity”) A person may have well balanced theology, and his general views of truth would be considered evangelical and orthodox. And yet, thus far may he proceed in the deepest ‘self deception’. With all this “form of knowledge,” this […]
God will never use means that are proud enough to think themselves necessary or capable. He will throw away the vessel that begins to boast in itself or allows others to boast in it. Whatever is our strength in the flesh is sure to become our weakness in the spirit. […]
“Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto Thee. Hide not Thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline Thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.” Ps. 102:1-2 “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house […]
