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 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 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 […]

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 […]
