“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24

by

  Heaven is a place where we shall never sin; where we shall cease our constant watch against an indefatigable enemy, because there will be no tempter to ensnare our feet. There the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. Heaven is the “undefiled inheritance;” it is the land of perfect holiness, and therefore of complete security. But do not the saints even on earth sometimes taste the joys of blissful security? The doctrine of God’s word is, that all who are in union with the Lamb are safe; that all the righteous shall hold on their …

The true salvation is all found in Christ alone

by

To turn evangelism into that which tells people to ‘accept the Lord’ so that you can get your sins forgiven and go to heaven when you die, is to miss the mark of man’s true condition and absolute need of salvation. Man doesn’t just DO sin or wrong things. He is himself totally in darkness, an unfit creature to live with or even look upon the holiness of God. The truth is that man is dead and needs life; he is blind and needs light; he is utterly lost and needs the way; he lives a lie and needs the …

~ Arthur a Pink, “The Doctrine of Human Depravity”

by

“The fall has resulted in man’s mind being enveloped in darkness. As physical blindness is one of the greatest natural calamities, spiritual blindness is much more so. It consists of a total incapacity to take in a real knowledge of divine things. Men may become very learned in many things, and by exercising their minds upon the Scriptures, they may acquire a considerable letter-knowledge of its contents; but they are quite unable to obtain a vital and effectual knowledge thereof. “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can …

by

For most people entering the Christmas season, first thoughts go to shopping, travel, party plans, church events, and other things that go along with and help us prepare for the celebration of Christmas.

Relying on Something Other Than God

by

God wants us to depend on Him rather than on intelligence, talents, or possessions 1 John 2:15-17 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. …
