What is the Message of Evangelism
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the ...

The Love of Christ Constraining Us
The Love of Christ Constraining Us For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. —2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Have you concluded the same? Does the same love of Christ control you? Do you hear that? Those whom Christ died for, ...

Why People Should Evangelize
Why People Should Evangelize Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:11a, "Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others." What does that mean? What does it mean when the Bible speaks about the "fear" of the Lord? It simply means having a real and proper apprehension of who God is, a real and proper apprehension of the character of God, the holiness of God, the God-hood of God. The reason why we are strangers to the ...

Why People Don’t Evangelize
Why People Don't Evangelize When you woke up on your beds this morning, how many of you were worried about the millions throughout the world who opened their eyes at the same moment as they lay their heads on rocks and the cold dust of the earth? When you had breakfast this morning, how many of you thought about the many millions throughout the world whose wildest fantasies are the meals ...

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 Law of God and the Impossibility of Salvation
The Law of God Have you kept the law of God today? How about in most of the day? In a single hour of the day? In 5 minutes? People often boast that they'll most likely enter heaven because they think that they're basically good. And since all men everywhere are basically good, most of human beings, if not all should and must go to heaven when they die. Salvation by existence. They have the inalienable right ...

Man: The Good Being • Hitler: The Good Person
Man: The Good Being A survey was taken in one of the state penitentiaries in the United States. It was conducted to find out what was the personal perception inmates have toward their own persons. One penitentiary, for example, has a collection of various offenders of the law. There are rapists, murderers, thieves, drug users and drug pushers, all of which come from almost every stripe and every race. The survey question put forward to them ...
