What Is True Repentance?

October 15, 2010

5

Godly sorrow worketh repentance. (2 Corinthians 7:10) Genuine, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature’s garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If thou hast one particle […]

‘Lordship Salvation’ – It Will Cost You Everything

October 13, 2010

By Justin Edwards Having now twice-listened to Dr. Steve Lawson’s It Will Cost You Everything in full, I must say this is undoubtedly the most important message one might ever hear. Some of you have seen the epic-like video excerpt of Dr. Lawson’s message put together by I’ll Be Honest (HERE), and if you have […]

No Fruit, No Conversion

Comments Off on No Fruit, No Conversion

“Let it be a settled principle in our religion that when a man brings forth no fruits of the Spirit, he has not the Holy Spirit within him. Let us resist as a deadly error the common idea, that all baptized people are born again, and that all members of the Church, as a matter […]

Comments Off on The Fire of Holiness vs. the Spirit of Perversion

By J. Lee Grady Moral failure in our ranks has become an epidemic—and the only solution is a heaven-sent spiritual housecleaning. I’m sure you felt as heartsick as I did when you heard about the nightmarish charges leveled against Atlanta preacher Eddie Long of New Birth Full Gospel Baptist Church.

Comments Off on Sanctification: The Law of the Spirit

By Mike Ratliff There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1 ESV) In this post we will look at Paul’s “therefore” he placed in the passage above. In other words, in Romans 8:1 Paul begins an important summary and conclusion which is related to his preceding arguments. We […]

Comments Off on Sanctification: The Triumph of Grace Over the Power of Sin

By Mike Ratliff  What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? (Romans 6:1-2 ESV) What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you […]

The Wrath of God

September 28, 2010

Comments Off on The Wrath of God

By A.W. Pink It is sad to find so many professing Christians who appear to regard the wrath of God as something for which they need to make an apology, or at least they wish there were no such thing. While some would not go so far as to openly admit that they consider it […]
