Welcome to the Pristine Grace Website! We hope you enjoy the discussion forum, articles, sermons, books, and scripture software that has been provided here. This website has been created to proclaim the truth to God's elect people in Christ.
We are living in an age of self-idolatry and very few people who profess Christ truly understand the Gospel. Many believe that Jesus died for all men universally and that the difference between those who are saved and not saved is the individual's "free will" decision.
There are others who are more enlightened but yet still believe in things like the doctrine of "common grace", the doctrine of "duty-faith" or the "free offer" of the Gospel. We believe these doctrines are erroneous and distort God's precious love for His elect. We prefer the word "free" or "pristine" instead of the word "common" to describe grace as the Scriptures declare God's love to be found only in God's Son, and that all of Grace is of the will of God and not corrupted or stained by the will of man, hence the adjective "pristine".
Some would also cast aspersions on us because we believe in the absolute predestination of all things - that is there isn't a single event that occurs that God did not predestinate. We believe that the term hyper-calvinism is a pejorative used to discredit our writings. Nevertheless, we believe He is absolutely Sovereign! We believe He has saved His people from their sins (Mat 1:21) and that all of His sheep will be given the gift of faith in the Gospel of Christ at His appointed time.

 ... The true test of one’s faithfulness to the Gospel is not in his judgment of other people, including Arminians to be unregenerate / unsaved… But it’s in his or her faithfulness to the Gospel in proclaiming the doctrines of sovereign grace and relying upon and resting in Christ for all of his or her salvation....Brandan Kraft Article Length: Very Short |
 ...“The heart of the king (president) is in the hands if the LORD, and as rivers of waters, he turneth it whithersoever he will.” - Proverbs 21:1
There is much interest in the coming election but here are some things that are true no matter who is the next president.
The Bible will still have all the answers.
Prayer will still be answered.
The Holy Spirit will still exalt the Lord Jesus.
God will still inhabit the praises of His people.

 ..."Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" - Tit 3:5
The mercy of God is natural and essential to Him, but the actings and exercise of it, towards this or the other objects are sovereign and free, according to His will. The effects of His mercy are many; He is rich and abundant in it and they are channeled in and flow forth through the bloo...John Gill Article Length: Short |
| ...You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life... - John 5:39a
Jesus is talking to the Pharisees here who thought they had eternal life because they had knowledge of the scriptures. And today, there are some people who think that just because they have a knowledge of how God sovereignly saves His people, or that they know the scriptures inside and out, and can articulate the Gospel, they think they have eternal life. Others think tha... Brandan Kraft Article Length: Short |
 ... There are really only two problems in any marriage:
She has expectations that he isn't meeting and
He has expectations that she isn't meeting.
Solution: Drop the expectations, chose instead to love your spouse for who they are, how they are right now. Ask yourself this question: If my spouse never changed would I be able to fully love them with all my heart? If the answer is no, the problem is you not your spouse.

 ...“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.” - John 3:8
A comparison is here drawn between the wind and the Spirit. The comparison is a double one: first, both are sovereign in their actions, and second, both are mysterious in their operations. The comparison is pointed out in the word “so.&rdqu...Arthur W. Pink Article Length: Short |
 ...I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. - Psalm 40:8
The Lord Jesus Christ is the one in whom all believers delight. Delight suggests love, joy, satisfaction, pleasure, etc. Delight is a passion or an emotion of the heart. The words in the verse above are the words of our Lord, making reference to all that he did in his humanity, especially his vicarious death on the cross as his people’s substitute.

 ... I had a Greek professor in Bible College who enjoyed quoting an old writer, Andrew Fuller, especially with regard to Mr. Fuller's view of the redemptive work of Christ. Fuller had said, "The death of Christ was sufficient to save the whole world, but efficient only for those who believe." Many preachers are saying the same thing today. Let me break down that statement for you and show you exactly what is meant.

 ... When it comes to the godly walk of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious reality of God’s grace is this – Before we take the first step in the walk of faith, we are already completely justified, sanctified, fit, and entitled to all of salvation unto final glory, all based on the righteousness of God worked out and found in Christ and imputed to us. We are to run the Christian race, persevere in the faith, walk in the light, seek to bear fruit and be instrumen...Bill Parker Article Length: Very Short |
 ..."But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;" - Mat 10:17
This is the caution which the Son of God gave to His disciples when He ministered among them on earth, and the Holy Ghost caused it to be penned, that the true Church of God might use it as a watchword to the end of time; and never since this caution dropped from the lips of Jesus, has it been more needed than now; for men seem...Joseph Irons Article Length: Short |
| ... There's an old saying when we see somebody fall into the mud pit, it goes like this: There, but for the grace of God, go I. Here's the problem: most of us don't mean it.
We actually think, "I'd never do that!" when we see a pastor get caught in adultery, a friend caught with a prostitute or a friend embezzling tax payers money. No, I wouldn't do that.
It is sometimes my first thought when I see a shamed face in the new... Bobby Capps Article Length: Short |

Every minute detail, both in substance and service in the ceremonial law ordained by God for the nation of Israel in the Old Testament, points to and is a picture of our blessed Redeemer. The significance of salt is obvious in this verse and i... Tommy Robbins Article Length: Short |
| ...But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. - Romans 2:29
The spiritual lineage of the children of God is traceable only to the Lion of the tribe of Judah—the Lord Jesus Christ— God The Son. The triune love of the eternal Godhead begat the infinite desire of divine purpose. God alone is to be praised for the supernatural indwelling of the mystica... Tommy Robbins Article Length: Short |
| ... “How can I be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ?” I have often been asked that very question. A good place to start is to ask, “what is a witness?” Quite simply, a witness is one who tells what he knows and what he has experienced. Here is an illustration which I hope will help us to understand what it means to be a witness for the Savior.

 ... There are those who believe that Jesus Christ died so man would have a chance of being saved. I do not know that I hate anything more in my soul than to hear someone say that Jesus Christ died so as to make salvation a possibility. It makes Jesus Christ so little, that He should do so much, and after all, only give us a chance of being saved. What an insult it is to the Lord Jesus Christ to fix the eternal honor of God in the salvation of sinners upon chance, and ...William Gadsby Article Length: Short |

| ... It is impossible to be correct about the righteousness of Christ being freely imputed to sinners without proclaiming the Savior’s bloody death. Every child of God rejoices in the life of the Son of God who was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and honoring to God in every way. He was obedient to the law of God, under which He was born, both outwardly and inwardly. Concerning His glorious life, however, as flawless as it was, had that been the extent of His obed...

 ... I believe that the greatest need of the church, the greatest need of the preachers and people of our day is a return to plain, Bible preaching. Preaching that is true to the Scriptures and preaching that men and women can understand, answering questions that people are asking, not answering questions that nobody cares about, but dealing with the issues that concern the people.
Now, Paul was conscious of this; I can see that he is conscious of this need in his day. ...Henry Mahan Article Length: Short |
| ... Every true believer fears the removal of God’s presence and power. David prayed, “Take not thy Spirit from me.” Paul feared that, “while preaching to others, I might become a castaway.” My thoughts are that this condition is manifested in the following ways:
We begin to experience no blessing nor benefit from the reading or preaching of the Word. When the Word ceases to convict, rebuke, burn in my heart, and cause me to rejoice in Christ, then Go... Henry Mahan Article Length: Short |
