It has been often said that justification is the article upon which a church stands or falls.  While I do not disagree with that statement, it certainly is not complete.  Perhaps a better word would be sanctification.  Sanctification (being set apart to be holy) encompasses the whole spectrum of salvation.  The believer was set apart […]

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD Psalm 146:10             “Be still.”  What a needful command.  This word has with it the idea of being weak, failing, ceasing, and abating.  Instead of thinking about what we need to do, “Be still”!  That is a command.  “And know that I am God.” The only time we know that in […]
