Gathering with the Saints, Worship, and Preaching- The Biblical Church Growth Model Skimmed Over. (how the modern redefining of terms has caused a misrepresentation of the Church, and a misconception of Biblical principles.) Introduction Let me say from the outset, that I did not get excited about posting this article to the public. This has…

    :a note on John 8:24– “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” There will always be an applicable necessity for the mature, knowledgeable, well-read Christian to humble themselves- to read, remember, and remind…

          Genesis 15:6 tells us, “And he (Abram) [believed] in the LORD, and He (the LORD) accounted it to him (Abram) as righteousness.” From the outset herein, I am not reluctant to conclude, from this verse, that in order to be righteous before God, one would need the righteousness of God, and that being a…

Biblically, the faithful are- those who are able, [by the Holy Spirit alone] to spiritually, by their own understanding mentally, and by their own confession verbally, profess and know Christ as their Lord.

This will not be a full, in-depth theological discussion on salvation, but will be concise and hopefully understable to the reader and bring clearity of its application to ones life. How Do I Stay Saved? Does it Come and Go? Is there a condition or a way of keeping it that I would have to…

Observation, Interpretation, Application: Colossians 1:15-20 This is a work I did for a preaching class a few years ago for an Observation, Interpretation, and Application of a particular passage of Scripture. Colossians 1:15-20 was my choice of Scripture for this task. I pray it is encouraging and edifying to you, and that it puts a…

I am, in the very moment of writing this, brought low in spirit once again to a place of gratefulness, thankfulness, and joy. I write to you not about what I have done in my life before the Lord saved me. And, if not before He saved me, it must surely not be about me…

THE WILL OF MAN- FREE WITHIN BOUNDARIES 1689 LBCF Chapter 9:4- “When God converts a sinner and translates him into the state of grace, He freeth him from his natural bondage under sin, and by his grace alone [enables him freely to will] and to do that which is spiritually good; yet so as that…
