The entrance of thy words giveth light;
It giveth understanding unto the simple. Ps. 119:130
Excerpts From Selected Articles:
Those That Are Lost. The primary thing to remember about a "lost" person is that he is Not where he ought to be. Consider the following: More.....
In 1st Peter 3:15 Peter tells us something about what we ought to be striving for-- internally within our heart and externally in our conversation with others. But notice it begins in the heart. He says, "Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts." More.....
Review of Article: Justification By Christ Alone, by Samuel Richardson [1602-1658] Samuel Richardson was an English Particular Baptist. The review has two parts. Part one provides a summary of objections by opponents of his view . Part two treats differences among Particular Baptists regarding the time of justification and the issue of imputed righteousness versus imparted righteousness. More.....
Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil:
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
It may be helpful to recognize that the "evil" in this passage is not necessarily moral in nature. Rather, it refers to various things we encounter in life which are disagreeable and unpleasant to us. In this sense troublesome things are said to be evil. More.....
The Doctrine of God Some verses are so explicit that it is clear they teach the doctrine of a personal Trinity categorically. The same is true of other verses which categorically teach the doctrine of God’s Unity or Oneness. Collectively, these two branches of study are referred to as “Special Theology”, or, the Doctrine of God. More.....
Gospel Liberty is predicated upon at least two conditions; (1.) an inward spiritual condition (regeneration) which enables one to will as he/she ought, and (2.) such a relationship with God (adoption) so as to be delivered from the hindering constraints of fear and brought under the noble motivation of love.More.....
Spiritual enlargement is a broadening or widening of one’s spiritual life, service, and usefulness. Spiritual enlargement occurs as we live unto him which died for us. It involves being spiritually intelligent of our purpose and self-sacrificing in our actions. More.....
Gambling --- The premise of this article is that gambling is morally wrong for everyone...... I believe my argument will demonstrate that it is not only inconsistent with Christian living, but also has the very real potential to disrupt social, moral, and economic laws and relationships. In this article I will examine why gambling is wrong from three perspectives. More....
Moral Law? -- Soon after my Conversion I became aware the term moral law was often used without a clear indication of what it denoted. I realized I wasn't sure what was indicated by the term, and my attempts to get a clear definition from those available failed to alleviate my ignorance. More......
Diciples of Little Faith -- What is it that distinguishes mature disciples? Having a religious background? Long-standing membership in a Church? A notable spiritual experience in the past? While each of these are a true blessing and have their place, yet by themselves, they may only disguise underlying pride and carnality, worldliness, and spiritual immaturity. More.....
Repentance And Godly Sorrow -- When a sinner is enlightened to have an accurate view of sin, there are three things about his condition that become apparent. More....
Mark of Thankfulness -- Giving thanks and praise unto God is a great part of our calling. There is nothing (including immorality) that is more odious unto God than unthankfulness. When we are unthankful it is a clear sign of spiritual decline. More....
Patience And Long-Suffering -- While we need to be patient with a discouraged, fainthearted person, we ought not worsen his or her condition by reinforcing their fears and blurred vision of the situation. More....
A Sketch on John The Baptist -- The bible portrays John the Baptist as a rather coarse and salty individual. His clothing was substandard for his day to put it mildly! When self-righteous Pharisees came to him, he didn’t bother using diplomacy with them. Read in Matthew 3:7 how he addressed some hypocrites of his day! More....
Commentary on Romans Chapter One -- Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, had been a persecutor and blasphemer. Now he was "a servant of Jesus Christ". Paul's life is an enduring testimony to the sovereign grace of God. Notice that he first states his status as a servant; this is an excellent place for him to commence. Likewise for us, whatever else we may be, we do well to emulate Paul and rank our servitude to Christ first. More......

And the servant of
the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle
unto all men, patient,
and apt to teach.
