Quoting Heretics
A facebook status and subsequent discussion has led me to ask the question, “is there ever a time when heretics should be quoted?” There is no doubt the quote in mind could be considered biblically sound (if considered by a born again Christian in its proper biblical context), but the author from whence it came […]
Waiting, Pursuing, and Trusting
September 15, 2010
By Justin Edwards Over the course of the last year I have learned a lot about patience and trusting that God has a perfect plan for my life. Having surrendered my will to the Lord Jesus Christ several months before in March 2009, I found myself in a confusing situation where I did not know […]

By Tim Challies In 2006, Reformation Trust published Steven Lawson’s Foundations of Grace, the first volume in a promising series titled “A Long Line of Godly Men.” Though the original publication schedule called for a new book every year or two, the second volume, Pillars of Grace has been repeatedly pushed back and is now […]

Comments Off on Fighting Sin
By Ken Silva Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey its passions. (Romans 6:12) Sin is not to be king over your mortal bodies. Sin is not to be obeyed. Your body is to be used for righteousness since you have been brought from death to life. Sin must […]
Is Heaven in You?

Comments Off on Is Heaven in You?
An old Scotchman was asked whether he expected to get to heaven. “Why, man, I live there,” was his quaint reply. Let us all live in those spiritual things which are the essential features of heaven. Often go there, before you go to stay there. It was said of an old Puritan, that heaven was […]
Loving Christ

Comments Off on Loving Christ
“This precious value, then, is for you who believe” (1 Pet. 2:7). First Peter 2:7 speaks of the believer’s affection for Christ as contrasted to an unbeliever’s rejection of Him. The first part of that verse could be translated, “To you who believe, He is precious.” “Precious” means “valuable,” “costly,” “without equal,” or “irreplaceable.” Christ […]

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jeremiah 33:3) God encourages us to pray. They tell us that prayer is a pious exercise which has no influence except upon the mind engaged in it. We know better. Our experience gives the lie a […]

“What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,’ and yet you […]

Dear Chrisitan, Let’s Press On By Ken Silva But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in […]
Receiving the Word in Humility

Comments Off on Receiving the Word in Humility
“In humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). Scripture speaks of a past, present, and future aspect of salvation. You have been saved from the penalty of sin (salvation), are being saved from the power of sin (sanctification), and will ultimately be saved from the presence of sin […]
