Chloroforming Thousands Into Hell by this Very Delusion
Do we suppose that men may be saved by simply accepting Christ as one's personal Savior and not as Lord? What a great tragedy it is that this is the prevalent view of Gospel preaching in our age today! Men and women everywhere are bid to believe in Christ to receive their ticket stamps to heaven and have their stamps to hell revoked. Is this saving faith? Are such ministers convinced that such a belief ...

How Worthless and Wicked is the Profession of Many!
To profess the name of Christ so adamantly, so sincerely and dedicatedly yet while showing nothing for it, what a terrible offense that is to Whom the Name belongs! Is it not axiomatic that the Narrow Way is the Way of Holiness? And if we are not in that path we have no cause to think that we are saved? What a sad fact it is that many professors today would still insist in their ...

Saving Faith is Humble, Tender, Loving, Working, Obedient & Eduring
In a world filled with comforts and the absence of constant opposition, even those who profess to be Christians can be lax in regards to the nature of their confession of faith. Save for a precious few, most would care little about it. Why would they? The culture has served them well. They grew up faithfully in a Christian society. It's all they really ever knew and all they ever came to know. Why should ...

What Kind of Faith Believes in Damning Sin Yet Lives in It?
There are many professors of Christ today whose profession are undone by the lives the live. Many are excellent Christians in the Sunday meeting, or when amongst believers, but how do they fare in secret? Oh, how lamentable is this fact in the lives of many. Better they be openly unbelieving than heap condemnation upon their heads by heralding a false profession, a false faith. But we should take leave from examining others and take heed ...

A Wolf Will Sooner Marry a Lamb than a Sinner Would Love God
There are many people in the Christian world today who seem to think that conversion is such an easy thing to accomplish, especially in the context of gospel preaching. It is supposed by many ministers that all that must be done is to woo the person into some sort of emotional state.

Saving Faith is to Receive Christ as Both Lord and Savior
We observed from the previous excerpt the difficulty that is involved in Saving Faith. That it is no small or easy thing that any person can appropriate instantly and leave unscathed. That the claims of God upon a man in Salvation is so high and so hard that the natural man spurns it with all his might. Oh if you are a person still in love with sin and living in it, with no genuine desire ...

Salvation That Leaves a Man Wedded in Sin is a Lie
Are you a Christian? Do you profess and confess Christ to be your all and in all? Is that true? There are many Christians like you in the world. The question is, are you of the faithful number? Or perhaps you are merely "hypocritically professing what you do not possess?" Do you profess to be cleaved unto Christ while still shackled to the world and your worldly lusts?

The Devil’s Drug To Lull Thousands into a False Peace
Today is an era filled with well-meaning ministers who profess a great love for Christ, His Gospel and His people. Yet these same ministers, save for the precious few which Christ preserves in faithful ministry, do nothing but trample what they seek to exalt underfoot. They seek to speak of good things, of a wonderful plan for the souls of men, that eternal life is but to believe in Christ, eternity in heaven to gain ...

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 ...
