The LORD’s Hatred Of Divorce

Can We Know Who The Non-Elect Are?
God summons the elect usually through the preaching of the gospel. Now, Christians do not first learn the identities of the elect, and then proceed to preach the gospel only to them. Rather, they preach the gospel “to all creation,” and “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will [...]

Is Birth Control Biblical?
There are very few subjects that cause as much consternation and backlash in today’s Churches as the teaching against birth control. And I believe the reason that there is such a strong reaction to the subject is the self-centered lifestyles that characterize today’s modern society. Christians of our day define birth control as prudent, or [...]

Legalism And Antinomianism
The terms “legalism” and “antinomianism” are much bandied about in so-called “Reformed” or “Sovereign Grace” churches today. Accusations of legalism or antinomianism are hurled back and forth between churches who claim to believe the doctrines of grace, and in many instances they are cause for church splits and disfellowship between churches. As those who have [...]

The Pope
The Pope says he’s the vicar of Christ,
While his underlings practice immoral vice.
He exalts himself and give messages of peace,
While denying our Lord the “Prince of Peace”.
He wants the approval of men and to be lifted high,
While priests and nuns are deceived and in their sins die.
He deceives others as he is deceived,
Stating that Mary [...]

Naked And Unashamed: John Wesley Exposes Himself
“It has also been suggested, that ‘Mr. Wesley is a very laborious man;’ not more laborious, I presume, than a certain active being, who is said to go to and fro in the earth, and walk up and down in it: nor yet more laborious, I should imagine, than certain ancient Sectarians, concerning whom it [...]

The Evidence Of Having Been Forgiven
The subject matter at hand is that of “Forgiveness”; which is God forgiving man, and man forgiving his fellow man. Of course the most important aspect of all this business of forgiving is whether forgiveness has taken place vertically, and a lesser important aspect is that of forgiving horizontally. And thus, what we want to [...]

John Wesley And Methodist Apostasy
“It is manifest that the public worship of the Roman Church is wholly degenerated from the nature of Christ’s kingdom,” so declared John Wesley.
He protested against Rome’s doctrines of tradition, seven sacraments, transubstantiation (“nonsense, absurdity and self-contradiction,” he called it), pilgrimage, purgatory, indulgences (which “strike at the root of all religion”), veneration of relics, worship [...]

The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel
In this article we will take a good look at Matthew 15.

Saved By Water
A study of 1 Peter 3:16-22

The Bible Under Attack
Until two or three hundred years ago, virtually everyone belonging to the church believed that the Scripture is the Word of God.
