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).

Four lies These are four false statements made from the average pulpit and parroted by those who hear them. “God loves YOU.” “Jesus died for YOU.” “Will you ACCEPT Jesus?” “Give YOUR HEART to Jesus.” Why are these statements false?

Regeneration is not a change of the old nature, but the introduction of a new nature. It is the implanting of the nature of life of the second Adam by the operation of the Holy Ghost, founded upon the accomplished redemption of the Lord Jesus, and in full keeping with the Sovereign will of God. […]
