Are You Saved? Or Deceived Thinking to be Saved? I Plead With You, Examine Yourself!
There is nothing more urgent, more important, more vital for any man, woman or child here on earth than to ascertain if he or she has truly become right with God, if truly saving faith has come upon the soul. For surely the costs are too great, far too great to be cast off in apathy and indifference. As the Lord, Christ, Jesus Himself declares in Matthew 16:26: "For what does a man profit, if ...

O If You Value Your Soul, Dismiss it Not Lightly! Examine Yourself!
How many professors of Christian religion today have lulled themselves to sleep of the state of their own souls? The great majority of professors are content to have grasped a certain degree of spirituality as to not give the slightest care about true and genuine conversion, true saving faith. Whether or not they really have saving, regenerating faith in Christ. What a frightening reality would it be, come judgment day when many a professor on earth ...

Others Just as Sure They Were Saved as You Are, Are Now in Hell.
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned."—Mark 16:16 These are the words of Christ, the risen Christ, and are the last that He uttered ere He left this earth. None more important were ever spoken to the sons of men. They call for our most diligent attention. They are of the greatest possible consequence, for in them are set forth the terms of eternal happiness or ...

Woe to You Who Preach a Costless Salvation!
It is true that the salvation that Christ provides has no price and that those the Father has given the Son can freely come and purchase the water of life freely without cost (Rev 21:6). But it is a great falsehood to say that the coming to Christ lays no claim upon a man. It is but a lie to proclaim a Gospel that doesn't even scathe the flesh of men! Dear reader, tread with me ...

The Fatally Incomplete Gospel of Many Ministers
This quote taken from A.W. Pink's solemn work entitled "Studies on Saving Faith" is one so fitting in what passes as Christianity in this post modern age. I expect some of you to judge the words written here to be so strong and unfair, but I pray you consider not if what is said is a statement of extremes, rather, consider well and ponder in yourself if what is said is true. Aye, we have more ...

The Marvel That Sovereign God Suffered All For Me!
How many thoughts can we think up in meditation about God's lavishing of grace and mercy upon our souls as He brought us from spiritual death to spiritual life? I wonder how many letters and words would be enough to exhaust the thoughts of our hearts in humble reflection of the mercies of God given us? I am reminded of an old hymn that gives the answer to these questions so plainly, yet so profoundly: Could we ...

His Eyes Darted a Glance of Love Unutterable…
I do no think that this entry requires any introduction for it already speaks much for itself. If there's anything I can say it is this, "Remember." Remember, dear reader, the day when the light of God's glorious grace shown forth into your soul and resurrected you in newness of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:4)! Remember how the Sovereign love of God trampled and conquered sin and death on your behalf to the praise of ...

“How Can I Get My Sins Forgiven?…”
We, even as Christians are so quick to forget how simple the simplicity of saving faith really is. I remember my days prior to conversion, like Spurgeon I've wanted to do 50 things to validate myself as a Christian, always wanting something to do, something profound to establish myself as a saint. Never did I realize that it was all vanity. Like the fool who built his house on the sand, and when the storm ...
