Predestination and the Free Offer
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”—John 6:37. These two sentences have been looked upon as representing two sides of Christian doctrine. They enable us to see it from two stand-points—the Godward and the manward. The first sentence contains […]

By Justin Edwards And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put […]

Pastor Rod Mattoon gives advice on dealing with sin and Christian relationships: Wrongs Must Be Made Right with Others Acts 24:16—And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Restitution involves repairing or replacing that which was damaged. If you have damaged someone’s reputation by […]
Chosen from the Beginning
July 29, 2010
When one is regenerated by the Holy Spirit unto salvation, they are made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and as such are no longer citizens of this world, but citizens of heaven. This citizenship cannot be revoked. In 1 Peter 1:1-2, Christians are called the elect, the chosen, according to the prearrangement (G4268) of […]

By Mike Ratliff For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law […]

Comments Off on True Salvation Through Jesus Christ
By Justin Edwards The following message from John MacArthur was one of many tools God used to finally bring me to my knees in March 2009. As I shared in my testimony HERE, my professed Christian life prior to last year was one where I was not ready to give all control to God. I […]
Heaven, Hell, and Emergent Heresy
July 25, 2010
Comments Off on Heaven, Hell, and Emergent Heresy
By Eric Barger When one does a careful evaluation of the teachings of Emergent leaders, such as Doug Pagitt, Rob Bell, and Brian McLaren, it becomes apparent that they do not believe that Heaven, as described in the Bible, actually exists. Even clearer is their denunciation against the notion of a literal Hell. Their focus […]

Comments Off on Christian Women – Are You Causing Men to Sin?
By Ingrid Schlueter This video is a rare glimpse of a pastor actively addressing the modesty issue, not as a ranting legalist, but as a loving pastor, concerned for his flock. Ideally, these issues should be taught by older women to the younger. But if that isn’t happening in a church, then the pulpits need […]

Comments Off on Growth in Grace
When I speak of growth in grace, I do not for a moment mean that a believer’s interest in Christ can grow. I do not mean that he can grow in safety, acceptance with God, or security. I do not mean that he can ever be more justified, more pardoned, more forgiven, more at peace […]
