The Supremacy of Jesus Christ the Lord and Saving Faith
"That's Not My God" "Well, I don't like that. I don't believe that God is like that. That's not My God!" We hear that objection so often, as if this declaration of Scripture of God's transcendent majesty and Kingship is not at all a Biblical teaching. How far is it from the truth. It's everywhere in Scripture! I remember a story from John Reisinger, when he was asked by an old lady about his son who died ...

The Figment of Human Imagination, An Invention of Maudlin Sentimentality
Your Thoughts of God are Too Human In Arthur W. Pink's book "The Attributes of God" he opens his chapter on God's Supremacy with one of Martin Luther's letters to Erasmus, he recounted: “Your thoughts of God are too human.” The distinguished and educated scholar might have resented such a denunciation, especially coming from a mere miner’s son; nevertheless, it was thouroughly deserved. Likewise, although we have no standing among our contemporary religious leaders in this degenerate ...

The God-Hood of God and the Gospel
The hardest part about being a Christian is that we profess to believe in a God that we can't see, a God that we can't feel, a God that we can't touch. Jacob's words are a typical of the plight contemporary culture feels. Ours is a day when people feel a distinct sense of the absence of God. We see no burning bushes, no pillars of fire, no real displays of angelic and heavenly manifestations, ...

God, the only Potentate Sovereign King!
In Arthur W. Pink's book, The Sovereignty of God, he writes in his introduction: After nineteen centuries of Gospel preaching, Christ is still “despised and rejected of men”. Worse still, He (the Christ of Scripture) is proclaimed and magnified by very few. In the majority of modern pulpits He is dishonoured and disowned. Despite frantic efforts to attract the crowds, the majority of the churches are being emptied rather than filled. ((Pink, A. W. (1996). The ...

O, That I Had a Thousand Voices!
O, That I Had a Thousand Voices O that I had a thousand voices And with a thousand tongues could tell Of Him in Whom the earth rejoices Who all things wisely does and well! My grateful heart would then be free To tell what God has done for me. Ye forest leaves, so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow grasses, bright and slender, Ye flowers, so wondrous sweet and fair, That live to show His praise alone, Help me to ...

Turning God into a “Machine”
In one of his letters to Erasmus, Luther said, "Your thoughts of God are too human." Probably that renowned scholar resented such a rebuke, the more so, since it proceeded from a miner’s son; nevertheless, it was thoroughly deserved. We too, though having no standing among the religious leaders of this degenerate age, prefer the same charge against the majority of the preachers of our day, and against those who, instead of searching the Scriptures ...
