CHRIST THE BELIEVER’S LIFE

Posted by on June 14, 2014 at 9:36 am

CHRIST THE BELIEVER’S LIFE by Archibald Alexander Jesus is the believer’s life, because he has redeemed him from death. The sentence of death, eternal death, has gone forth against every sinner. “The wages of sin is death.” “Cursed is everyone that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them.” […]

If we deny- Charles Pennington.

If we deny- Charles Pennington. If we deny that man is dead in sin; that he is nothing, has nothing and can do nothing to merit salvation then we make ‘man true and God a liar’! If we deny God’s eternal and unconditional election of a people unto salvation; make salvation to be by man’s […]

I am sure you have seen the popular religious slogan

Posted by on March 9, 2013 at 9:25 am

I am sure you have seen the popular religious slogan used by so-called churches today: “The Church Where Everybody Is Somebody”. Fact is, the church is a place where everybody is a nobody. The Church is made of unworthy sinners. All members know that. Ask them. Ask Jacob, he will tell you: “I am not […]

Let each believer follow the precept of the Spirit—

Posted by on December 8, 2012 at 10:20 am

Let each believer follow the precept of the Spirit—come apart for awhile  enter into the secret chambers of solemn retrospective meditation, and under the rays of heavenly light review his former state. Now, through grace, he is light in the Lord; but formerly he was darkness, and how great was that darkness, how thick those […]

What must I do to be saved? Ask that question to a dozen different people, and you may receive a dozen different answers: keep the Law of Moses; observe sabbaths; decide for Christ; come to the altar; travel the Roman Road; be baptized; get religion; say the sinner’s prayer; join a church; do good works; […]

LOOK TO CHRIST-NOT THE LAW

Posted by on December 10, 2011 at 10:14 am

LOOK TO CHRIST-NOT THE LAW A friend of mine once asked a certain divine in London what he thought of the law as the believer’s only rule of life? He replied, “The believer must look with one eye to Christ, and with the other to the law.” But he brought no more proof from the […]

The Law of Moses

Posted by on November 19, 2011 at 12:33 pm

The Law of Moses (Excerpted from Philpot’s sermon, “Not Our Own”) Imagine that you are ignorant of the gospel and of God’s way of preventing evil and of bringing about good– and were called upon to design some plan whereby a man might be most effectually restrained from the commission of sin, and made obedient […]

BELIEVE

BELIEVE Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”  Mark 9:23, 24 The Lord wants us to believe in his character, in His faithfulness, in His finished work. This seems like an […]

I believe

I believe And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:37 Perhaps you have thought, “this is not a very thorough confession, surely you must believe more than this, in order to be saved.” No, this […]
