limits scripture arguing
When we reach the outer limit of what Scripture says, it is time to stop arguing and start worshipping.
repentance moaning knows
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
would-be christ salvation
Calvary not merely made possible the salvation of those for whom Christ died; it ensured that they would be brought to faith and their salvation made actual.
church world would-be
Were it not for the work of the Holy Spirit there would be no gospel, no faith, no church, no Christianity in the world at all.
crosses preacher whole
The preachers commission is to declare the whole counsel of God; but the cross is the center of that counsel.
spirit study given
The Spirit is not given to make Bible study needless, but to make it effective.
action trinity bases
The Trinity is the basis of the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action.
study
We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God.
wise prayer mean
God has spoken to man, and the Bible is his Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation... Godliness means responding to God's revelation in trust and obedience, faith and worship, prayer and praise, submission and service. Life must be seen and lived in the light of God's Word. This, and nothing else, is true religion.
commitment biblical simple
Simple assent to the gospel, divorced from a transforming commitment to the living Christ, is by Biblical standards less than faith, and less than saving, and to elicit only assent of this kind would be to secure only false conversions.
christian father answers
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
jesus mean ideas
We are not fit for a place in God's family; the idea of his loving and exalting us sinners as he loves and has exalted the Lord Jesus sounds ludicrous and wild -- yet that, and nothing less than that, is what our adoption means.
doe eternity carrie
What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
moving
We never move on FROM the Gospel, we move on IN the Gospel
