"For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I might live unto God. "I am crucified with Christ, thus I live, yet not I now, but Christ liveth in me; and in that which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and given himself for me. "For ye are all the sons of God by faith, in Christ Jesus. For all ye that are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ....

How should we remember the poor? Is the "prosperity gospel," a.k.a. "the health and wealth gospel," "the success gospel," the teaching of the Bible?

A review of "The Myth of Junk DNA" by Jonathan Wells (Discovery Institute Press Seattle, WA, 2011). Reviewed by Jeffrey Tomkins (http://creation.com/review-wells-junk-dna). "One of the greatest evolutionary frauds of recent times is the myth that eukaryotic genomes, particularly the human genome, are largely composed of meaningless ‘junk’ DNA sequences that serve no biological purpose. While many...

This is a reading of an article by Don Batten at http://creation.com/old-earth-or-young-earth-belief and is read and posted here by permission of Creation Ministries International. Many today, even Christians, accept the age of the earth at billions of years and claim that the ‘young-earth’ view is a recent invention of Protestant ‘fundamentalist’ churches. They claim that various Church Fathers o...

Published in the June 2013 issue of Reformed Perspective magazine (http://reformedperspective.ca/), pages 14-16. A critical review of "A Secular Faith: Why Christianity Favors the Separation of Church and State" by Darryl G. Hart, an elder in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. What does "the separation of church and state" mean? It is different from "the separation of religion and politics"? Should...

What does it mean that men are to love their wives as their own bodies? Does this marital counsel from the Word of God seem strange to us? And what about the next line of the text? “He that loveth his wife loveth himself?” What does that mean? How can you love yourself when you love your wife? Come and listen! Hear the exposition of these words of Scripture so you can know how to make sense of the...

Some professing evangelical Christians accuse creationists of taking a naïve literalistic view of Genesis, and claim that creationism is a 20th century aberration. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the most influential of the Reformers was the French lawyer and theologian John Calvin (1509–1564). Calvin believed: The earth is ‘young’; God created in six consecutive normal days; The d...

A reading of a letter by Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria (298? - 373 A.D.) on the Psalms. "To those who really study it the Psalter yields special treasure. It is like a picture, in which you see yourself portrayed, and seeing, may understand and consequently form yourself upon the pattern given. "Elsewhere in the Bible you read that the Law commands this or that to be done, you listen to the Pro...

The Westminster Confession of Faith states that God is a most pure spirit without passions. In our day, however, this has become a controversial doctrine. Yet, we will argue that this teaching is Biblical. As you listen to this talk you may want to follow along with the outline: 1. Acts 4:15 2. James 5:17 3. An objection answered 4. Our body and our feelings 5. A precise definition 6. The immutabi...

Our text says that in marriage the husband is the head of his wife, even as Christ is the head of the church. How wonderful it is that the husband's headship would be likened to the profundity of Christ's headship over the Church! Yet in no way does this make the nature of the wife inferior to the husband, nor give the husband license to be a tyrant over his wife. The headship of the husband is no...

This is a reading of an article by Paul Bartz, by permission. Martin Luther scorned theistic evolution, which was known among the educated of his day. Luther’s words rejecting chance and mechanistically guided processes to explain man are as specific and clear as if he had read Darwin. In his comments on Genesis 1:6 he states, ‘Here we are taught about the beginning of man, that the first man did...

"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. "Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brot...

What should we make of these verses that appear to say that unless you are sinless you are not a child of God? "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." -- I Jn. 3:6 "He that committeth sin is of the devil" -- I Jn. 3:8a "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin , because he is born of God."...

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,...

"In a nutshell, abiding in Christ means allowing His Word to fill our minds, direct our wills, and transform our affections. In other words, our relationship to Christ is intimately connected to what we do with our Bibles!" -- Sinclair Ferguson

In our text Jesus warns his disciples that a time will come when those killing God's servants will think that they kill as a service unto the Lord. We offer two examples in how the words of the Lord Jesus were, in part, fulfilled. Accounts of the devilish cruelty done against Christians can be chilling, but at the same time they show us the dauntless faithfulness of the saints to their, and our, c...

Por el ex sacerdote católico Richard Bennett. En el presente, una espantosa apostasía ecuménica evangélica ha sucedido. Lo que está en juego es ni más ni menos que la justicia de Cristo Jesús el Señor en su obra completa y perfecta, la cual es proclamada en el Evangelio. De hecho, muchos evangélicos famosos, en su afán por atraer a la gente, han escondido el Evangelio de la gracia. La presentación...

May you be blessed by this sermon on what the Apostle John teaches on loving God vs. loving the world and the things that are in the world -- and how that is consistent with His command to bring all the world into subjection to the Lord Jesus Christ.

"He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." What does this mean for you right now? How does it affect how you interact with people? Your family, people you work with, strangers you interact with at the store, etc.? May you be blessed by this sermon on what the Apostle John teaches on loving God vs. loving the world and the things that are in the world -- and...

"And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." This verse puzzles some believers. Is it saying that Christ saves everyone? Or is it saying that Christ's death made it possible for everyone to be saved, but that you have to do something to become saved? Or is it saying something else entirely? Understanding this verse and I Jn. will keep...

This sermon is an overview of the first chapter of 1 John. It is an expansion upon some of Matthew Henry's insights. The first minute or so of the sermon was not recorded.
