Quote (5) – J. Gresham Machen

Men tell us that our preaching should be positive and not negative, that we can preach the truth without attacking error. But if we follow that advice we shall have to close our Bible and desert its teachings. The New Testament is a polemic book almost from beginning to end . . . . [..more..]

Do Not Be Led Astray

06.28.10 J.A. Matteson

“You are looking at things as they are outwardly….” 2 Corinthians 10:5

Since the days of Eden fallen humanity remains captivated by the beautiful, the delightful, the seductive, this to the expense of truth resulting in the detriment of the soul. Things beautiful and delightful are gifts from the Lord and [..more..]

True Christianity

J.C. Ryle

1) True Christianity has always taught the inspiration, sufficiency, and supremacy of Holy Scripture. It has told men that “God’s written Word” is the only trustworthy rule of faith and practice in religion; that God requires nothing to be believed that is not in this Word; and that nothing is right [..more..]

Holy, Holy, Holy

Thomas Brooks

Thomas Brooks

“Who is like You, glorious in holiness?” Exodus 15:11

God is . . .
infinitely holy,
transcendently holy,
superlatively holy,
constantly holy,
unchangeably holy,
exemplary holy,
gloriously holy.

All the holiness that is in the best and choicest
Christians is but a mixed holiness, a weak and
imperfect holiness. Their unholiness is always
more than their holiness.
Ah, what a great deal . . .
of pride is mixed with a little humility,
of unbelief is mixed with a little faith,
of peevishness is mixed with a little meekness,
of earthliness is mixed with a little heavenliness,
of carnality is mixed with a little spirituality,
of harshness is mixed with a little tenderness!

Oh, but the holiness of God is a pure holiness, it is
a holiness without mixture; there is not the least
drop or the least dreg of unholiness in God! “God
is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5

In God there is . . .
all wisdom without any folly,
all truth without any falsehood,
all light without any darkness, and
all holiness without any sinfulness.

God is universally holy.
He is holy in all His ways,
and holy in all His works.
His precepts are holy precepts,
His promises are holy promises,
His threatenings are holy threatenings,
His love is a holy love,
His anger is a holy anger,
His hatred is a holy hatred, etc.

His nature is holy,
His attributes are holy,
His actions are all holy.

He is holy in sparing;
and holy in punishing.
He is holy in justifying of some;
and holy in condemning of others.
He is holy in bringing some to heaven;
and holy in throwing others to hell.

Quote (8) – John MacArthur

As a Christian you know who you need? Jesus Christ, you know what else you need, Nothing! He is all in all, isn’t He? Christ plus nothing. You don’t need special visions. You don’t need conversations with angels. You don’t need some kind of self-imposed piosity. You don’t need to keep a bunch [..more..]

The Mercy of Jesus is So Sweet

Just recently I have allowed things to get in the way of my desire for the Lord, and gradually, in fact quite rapidly, I have found my heart crusting over into a hard shell. The desire I have for the Word seemed to have faded somewhat, my thoughts seemed rarely to fix upon God [..more..]

Saving Faith

SAVING FAITH J.A. Matteson 03.24.09

If indeed you continue in the faith….Colossians 1:23

That which God ordains as holy remains holy unto the Lord in that positional sanctification is a sovereign work of God and does not depend upon the merit of its object, “For while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” [..more..]
