God Hates the Sinner And Hates the Sin

One of the most popular beliefs of the day is that God loves everybody, and the very fact that it is so popular with all classes ought to be enough to arouse the suspicious of those who are subject to the Word of Truth. God’s love toward all His creatures is the fundamental and favorite tenet of Universalists, Unitarians, Theosophists, Christian Scientists, Spiritualists, Russellites, etc. No matter how a man may live—in open defiance of Heaven, ...

Reformation Theology: An Introduction

492 years ago, on this day, October 31st, Martin Luther marked the beginning of the Reformation with his famous 95 theses. It was said that the hinge that the door of Christianity swings is on the doctrine of justification by faith, such is what was fought for at the time of the reformation, the reformers prior to Luther and those who went after him. Contrary though to popular belief the issue did not merely hang on ...

Who is Regulating Affairs on Earth, God or the Devil?

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 dishonored and disowned. Despite frantic efforts to attract the crowds, the majority of the churches are being emptied rather than filled. And what of the great masses of non-church goers? In the light of Scripture we are compelled to ...

I Know Whom I Have Believed

I know not why God’s wondrous grace To me He hath made known, Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love Redeemed me for His own. But I know Whom I have believed, And am persuaded that He is able To keep that which I’ve committed Unto Him against that day. I know not how this saving faith To me He did impart, Nor how believing in His Word Wrought peace within my heart. I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing us of sin, Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith ...

O LORD, How Vile Am I

"Behold, I am vile!" Job 40:4 O Lord, how vile am I, Unholy and unclean! How can I dare to venture nigh, With such a load of sin? Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for Thee? Swarming, alas! in every part, What evils do I see! If in Thy Word I look, Such darkness fills my mind; I only read a sealed book, And no relief can find! Thy gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire, or love, or fear, I like a stone remain! Myself ...

Deeds Not Creeds: A Road of Despair Back to Rome

Four years ago back in 2005 at the Baptist World Alliance, Rick Warren presented his thesis of the dire need of the hour suggesting that "The first Reformation was about doctrine; the second one needs to be about behavior." He said that what we need is "a reformation not of creeds but deeds." Throughout the speech and seemingly the underlying creed of Rick Warren's Saddleback Church itself, he announced that a new movement is underway ...

God’s Unchanging Word

God’s Unchanging Word For feeling come and feelings go, And feelings are deceiving; My warrant is the Word of God, Naught else is worth believing. I’ll trust in God’s Unchanging Word Till soul and body sever: For, though all things shall pass away, His Word shall stand forever. Though all my heart should feel condemned For want of some sweet token, There is One greater than my heart Whose Word cannot be broken. I’ll trust in God’s Unchanging Word Till soul and body sever: For, though all things shall pass ...
