I have discussed in brief and in part what was the Reformation, wherein the main issues revolve around the authority of Scripture and how sinful man can be justified. It is in understanding the implications of these two Latin terms that we can understand what it is to be ...

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 ...

What is Calvinism?

It is very odd how difficult it seems for some persons to understand just what Calvinism is. And yet the matter itself presents no difficulty whatever. It is capable of being put into a single sentence; and that, on level to every religious man's comprehension. For Calvinism is just religion in its purity. We have only, therefore, to conceive of religion in its purity, and that is Calvinism. In what attitude of mind and heart does ...

"Out of the depths I cry to Thee, O Lord."—Psalm 130:1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee; Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! Bend down Thy gracious ear to me; I lay my sins before Thee. If Thou rememberest each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? Thou grantest pardon through Thy love; Thy grace alone availeth; Our works could ne’er our guilt remove; Yea, e’en the best life faileth. For none may boast himself of aught, But must confess ...
