In response to Michael McKinley’s article: How Can I Know That I’m Not a Christian? This is a question that should be answered with care. I would venture that someone asking this question, or one like it, is likely in turmoil because they are struggling with a sin they can’t shake. A sin that they feel…
One of my friends recently asked: Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, (Matthew 4:8) – How could this possibly have been so unless the Bible, holder of all knowledge, was very much telling the audience that the earth…
After we got home from our Good Friday service, my wife, Amanda Nelson, and I watched Good Friday together. It is very moving. We were kind of jarred by the abrupt ending – but then we realized that that is how we were supposed to feel. As the grave scene was drawing to a close…
Pakistan’s president will pardon Christian woman, official says Pakistan president urged not to pardon Christian woman
You all did a great job!
We must uphold the virtues of morality that are derived from the Bible. Abraham Lincoln stated, “The Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man… But for it we could not know right from wrong.” Pre-marital sex, adultery, and homosexuality are all wrong because the Bible teaches these behaviors are immoral. Therefore,…
Stop giving God the leftovers of your day. -Brent Bennett (read more)
Grace is imperative; it gets us into “the club.” But while membership has its privileges, it also has its requirements. To be Christ’s disciple means to be jealous for God’s kingdom just as Christ was jealous for it. -Susan Larson Read more in her article, “Being a Part of the ‘IN’ Crowd“
R. C. Sproul on his refusal to sign the Manhattan Declaration: The Manhattan Declaration confuses common grace and special grace by combining them. While I would march with the bishop of Rome and an Orthodox prelate to resist the slaughter of innocents in the womb, I could never ground that cobelligerency on the assumption that…
The proper activity of professing Christians who disagree with one another is neither to ignore, nor to conceal, nor even to minimize their differences, but to debate them. We are to maintain the truth in love, being neither truthless in our love, nor loveless in our truth, but holding the two in balance. – John…
Three vital elements of a quality church: 1) The Word of God, 2) The Power of God, 3) Prayer to God – Bill Hyer
“You will ALWAYS choose what you want the most.” -quote from Dr. R.C. Sproul’s “Chosen by God”, my emphasis added
Does God really want all people to be saved? This is an age-old question that Dr. R.C. Sproul tackles in an interview conducted by Mark Driscoll.
I just listened to Bill Hyer’s first sermon at Lakeside Presbyterian Church in Brandon, Mississippi from November 8th. He shared his testimony with the congregation. Bill shared three concluding points at the end of his testimony. Here they are as I recorded them: 1. It is in the darkest days of our lives that God…
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ effectually unites us to himself. -John Calvin, Institutes, Book 3, I.1.
I just read the salvation testimony of Brent Bennett. I knew Brent in middle and high school and I was a little surprised to read this, but not shocked. I highly recommend this reading. It shows that we cannot save ourselves however hard we may try. God does all of the work. http://bit.ly/sZ0Pz
