They go right to the heart of true Christianity. You\nwill either accept or reject these eight statements. There is no middle ground;\nand you will find it impossible to be indifferent regarding them. There is no\nroom for compromise on any of these eight points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Either the Bible is in\nits entirety the holy, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God\u2014or it is in\nits entirety a lie, by which the souls of men are eternally deceived and\ndamned. If the Bible is not the Word of God, throw it away. But if it is, as it\nclaims to be, God&#8217;s Holy Word, we will be wise to pay attention to it. It\nclaims, as such, a total sway over our lives. It must be our only rule of faith\nand practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Either God almighty is\nabsolutely sovereign, in total control of all things, at all times\u2014or there is\nno God. Again, there is no middle ground between these two poles, between God&#8217;s\nabsolute, total sovereignty\u2014and absolute, total atheism. To speak of a God who\nis not totally sovereign is utter nonsense. Atheism is far more sensible than\nArminianism. If God is, he is sovereign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Either man is totally\ndepraved, utterly dead in trespasses and in sins\u2014or there is nothing wrong with\nhim, and he needs no Savior. There is no such thing as partial depravity or\npartial goodness before God. Either we are totally sinful and depraved, or we\nare totally righteous and good. There is no middle ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Either God chose to save\nsome of Adam&#8217;s fallen race to salvation and eternal life in Christ before the world\nbegan, as the Bible says he did\u2014or no salvation is possible for any man.\nSalvation is God&#8217;s prerogative, not man&#8217;s. Grace is God&#8217;s gift, not man&#8217;s\nchoice. If God does not choose to save and choose whom he will save, no sinner\ncan ever be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Either the Lord Jesus\nChrist, the Son of God, is altogether and alone the effectual Redeemer and\nSavior of his people\u2014or he is a fraud and a failure. Again, there is no middle\nground, no room for compromise. Either Christ did what he came to do, or he is a\nfailure. If he is a failure, he is not God, and we have no Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Either we are regenerated\nand called to life and faith in Christ by the irresistible power and omnipotent\ngrace of God the Holy Spirit\u2014or there is no such thing as salvation. The only hope\nfor a dead sinner is free and sovereign grace\u2014grace that asks for nothing and\ngives everything, grace that waits for nothing and does everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Either God&#8217;s people are\nentirely free from the law, as the Scriptures declare us to be\u2014or we are yet\nunder the bondage of the law and entirely obligated to keep it perfectly. There\nis no such thing as being partially under the law and partially free from it,\nnot in biblical terms. The only way sinners can satisfy, fulfill, and establish\nthe law is by faith in Christ (Romans 3:31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Either every saved sinner\nshall persevere to the end, being preserved and kept by God&#8217;s infallible,\nimmutable grace\u2014or none shall. The perseverance of the saints is demanded by\nthe purpose of God, the purchase of Christ, and the power of the Spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is a successful\nministry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Don Fortner)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now it is required\nthat those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.&#8221; 1 Corinthians\n4:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The desperate need of the\nhour is faithful men in the pulpits of our churches. We have an over-abundance\nof preachers. We do not need any more slick, polished, well-educated\nprofessionals in &#8220;the ministry&#8221;. But we do, most desperately, need\nsome faithful men \u2014 pastors after God&#8217;s own heart, who feed His people with\nknowledge and understanding. Thank God, we have a few! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this day of big business\nreligion, when churches are measured not by their orthodoxy, but by the\nopinions of men; when a preacher&#8217;s success is measured not by his faithfulness,\nbut by the number of names added to the church roll \u2014 it might be wise to\nconsider what a successful ministry is according to the measure of Holy\nScripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Word of\nGod, those preachers and churches are successful who are faithful to the work\nto which God has called them. Never in the Old Testament or in the New was a\nprophet, apostle, or preacher measured by the opinions of men. God&#8217;s servants\nnever courted the favor of men, and were never favored by the majority of the\npeople. The church of God has always been out of step with society. The\nservants of God have always been looked upon as peculiar, bigoted dogmatists,\nintolerant and incapable of compromise. But they were faithful \u2014 faithful to\nGod, faithful to His truth, and faithful to the souls of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not be so foolish as to\nmeasure God&#8217;s work by man&#8217;s yardstick. Do not measure the success or failure of\npreachers and churches by men, by numbers, or by popular opinion. The only\nmeasure of success for churches and preachers is faithfulness. Those who\nfaithfully seek and promote the glory of God, who faithfully proclaim the truth\nof God, and who faithfully serve the eternal interests of immortal souls are\nsuccessful. Those who are not are failures. The one will stand the fire of\njudgment. The other will not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The greatest blessing God\ncan ever bestow upon any people in this world is to establish in their midst a\nfaithful Gospel church with a faithful Gospel preacher as his messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tychicus . . . is a\ndear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.&#8221;\nColossians 4:7 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I Am A Sinner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>by Don Fortner-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

I Am A Sinner Saved By\nGod&#8217;s Irresistible Grace&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Ps. 65:4; Eph. 2:1-10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am saved by the grace of\nGod alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By the grace of God I\nam what I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was God the Holy Spirit\nwho sought me out when I would not<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>seek him, came to where I\nwas when I could not come to him,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>called by almighty grace\nwhen I refused to call to him, raised me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>from the dead when I had no\ndesire to be raised from the dead,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and loosed me when I loved\nmy bondage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. I Am A Sinner Sealed And\nPreserved By His Grace&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(John 10:27-30; Eph.\n1:13-14; 4:30; 1 Pet. 1:5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace put me in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace leads me in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And grace keeps me in the\nway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am kept in the hands of\nChrist my covenant Surety and good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shepherd, kept by the seal\nof God the Holy Spirit, and kept in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the hands of God my Father,\nkept in the omnipotent hands of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>triune God, and none can\npluck me from those hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. I Am A Sinner Living In\nHope Of The Resurrection&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1 Thess. 4:13-18). I do not\nknow when Christ shall appear;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>but I do know that soon my\nLord Jesus will come in power and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>great glory. When he does,\nhe will raise me up, transform me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>into his glory, and bring me\ninto his glorious kingdom in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>perfection of beauty which\nhe has put upon me, by which I am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>worthy to take possession of\nthe inheritance of the sons of God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.

What He is called, that He is \u2014 Jesus, our Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lord Jesus came into the\nworld to save &#8220;His people&#8221; from their sins. Those He came to save\nwere His people before He came to save them, His by eternal election. There are\nsome people in this world, an elect multitude, chosen in Him before the world\nbegan, who are peculiarly and distinctively His people, the objects of His\neverlasting love, chosen in Him unto salvation (Ephesians 1:2-6; 2\nThessalonians 2:13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lord Jesus Christ is an\nalmighty, effectual Savior!
