Selling a counterfeit faith to a biblically illiterate people. It’s like taking candy from a baby.

This kind of tomfoolery would vanish overnight if people knew the Scriptures. If people would actually read their Bibles these purveyors of another gospel would be out of business faster than they could say, “God wants you to sow a financial seed-of-faith offering.”

thomas-manton.gif You can never magnify Christ enough, and you can never abase yourself enough and Christ is most exalted when you are most abased . . . and if Christ is to be precious to you, you must be vile in your own sight.

Sermon of the week: “The Stranger” by Tim Conway.

Your Sermon of the Week is entitled The Stranger by Tim Conway. Pastor Conway delivers yet another convicting and uncompromising message as he tackles a taboo issue within the Christian Church today: Television viewing.
This is a message that (sadly) too many Christians need to hear.

Sola Scriptura (45)

bible-page.jpg For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.
– Hebrews 10:26-27

They believe they’ve got a “cool” place to “experience” God.

When a man-centered church is marketed like a business you get church advertisements like: “Experience the difference.”

At the following social club you will enjoy live music, dramas, and “relevant” practical messages while wearing your favorite pair of jeans. The coffee is hot so grab a donut, kick back and listen to awesome live music and you’re going to hear a message of hope.

(What’s that churning nauseas feeling in the pit of my stomach)?

don-green.jpg For those of you that are in here living a double life–coming here on Sunday but living like the Devil during the week, and thinking that no one knows about it–understand that you are absolutely living on borrowed time. God will expose your sin either in this life or when the judgment comes, take your pick, neither one is going to be very pretty. So you might as well just get serious about repentance now and try and–like Nineveh–call on and see if God won’t relent and withdraw His burning anger against your hypocrisy. Because . . . you do not get away with sin –ever!

Quotes (209)

john-macarthur.jpg Postmodernism’s one goal and singular activity is the systematic deconstruction of every other truth claim. The chief tools being employed to accomplish this are relativism, subjectivism, the denial of every dogma, the dissection and annihilation of every clear definition, the relentless questioning of every axiom, the undue exaltation of mystery and paradox, the deliberate exaggeration of every ambiguity, and above all the cultivation of uncertainty about everything.

– John MacArthur

Quotes (208)

martin-lloyd-jones.jpg The trouble with people who are not seeking for a Savior, and for salvation, is that they do not understand the nature of sin. It is the peculiar function of the law to bring such an understanding to a man’s mind and conscience. That is why the great evangelical preachers 300 years ago in the time of the Puritans, and 200 years ago in the time of Whitfield and others, always engaged in what they called a preliminary law work.

– Martin Lloyd-Jones

ryle.jpg Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leaven them alone and they will soon be great.

J.C. Ryle

If we are saved by our works, these Catholics have much to boast about.

c1.jpg In their observance of Easter, Roman Catholic Filipinos crucified themselves (including a 15 year old boy and an 18 year old girl) for absolutely positively no reason. There is no Biblical justification for this.

c2.jpg I imagine they are just taking “good works” to its logical conclusion.

c3.jpg If we are saved by our works, then wouldn’t the participants in this torture fest have reason to boast in spite of Ephesians 2:8-9?

Glorious Resurrection Sunday; He Is Risen; Worthy is the Lamb!

He was pierced through for our transgression,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

The chastening for our wellbeing fell upon Him,

And by His scourging we are healed.

All of us like sheep have gone astray,

each of us has turned to his own way;

But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.

Isaiah 53:5-6

A little road called the Via Dolorosa.

Watch the Lamb.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

to receive power and riches

and wisdom and might

and honor and glory and blessing. . . .

To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb,

be blessing and honor and glory

and dominion forever and ever.

Revelation 5:12-13

Quotes (205)

john-macarthur.jpg Over the past generation–and especially the past two decades–we have seen conclusive changes in society’s moral values, philosophy, religion, and the arts. The upheaval has been so profound that our grandparents’ generation (and practically every prior generation of human history) scarcely would have thought the landscape could possibly change so quickly. Almost no aspect of human discourse has been left unaffected. The traditional, nominal, devotion to ideals and moral standards derived from Scripture is dying with the senior generation. Many believe the paradigm shift has already brought us beyond the age of modernity to the next great epoch in the development of human thought: the postmodern era.

– John MacArthur

An e-mail from a reader.

georgia.gifI received the following letter from Ken and was hoping that maybe one of you out there could help him.

In desperate need for a solid biblical church

Hello,
I know what you are thinking…Aren’t we all? But, the reason I’m writing you is because of the what you do with the website and the blog. I just moved to Augusta, GA. I’m in the Army. I need to find a solid church. I don’t want to spend a whole a lot of time at church that is bad. This is just a question. Do you have access to any lists of churches that follow your creed or John MacArthur, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Paul Washer and etc? You know solid biblical doctrine being taught in or near Augusta, GA. In any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

God Bless, Ken
