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 profane 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. Read more about us!

 ... Works, evidence faith but cannot validate it. Show me a religious work that the carnal man cannot mimic, at least for awhile! At the end of the day when we have done all that is our duty, all we can say is that we are unprofitable servants. Are our works important? Absolutely! We were foreordained unto good works before the foundation of the world. But the child of Grace should never look to these works as an assurance of their salvation. Faith is the substance of things HOPE...Mikal Smith Article Length: Very Short |
 ... When the environment is loud, busy, and rapidly engaged in many directions it is easy to miss details and be overwhelmed. When all that noise ends suddenly it’s like a dreamy peacefulness, like when a room full of kids go outside and you can hear the hum of a ceiling fan.
The same thing is true when we spend so much time reading and hearing theological and “religious” fodder. It’s impossible to focus on the truth. When we flush the no...James H. Tippins Article Length: Very Short |
| ... Every believer is gifted for the assembly by God the Spirit. When some forsake assembly, they are not receiving the blessings of others and the body isn’t receiving Gods purpose for them. Many times we pray for what God has already provided but is rarely with us. Stir one another beloved. Stir, stir, stir... that means don’t let each other sit idle.... James H. Tippins Article Length: Very Short |
 ... Want to know what the best thing in the world is? The assurance that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit because His perfect sacrifice was accepted and well pleasing in the eyes of the Father. That Christ lived a perfect life of obedience to the Father bringing to Him nothing but absolute Glory and Satisfaction in everything He did. And that, because of His obedience to the Father, Jesus Christ, at the dying on the Cross by the imputation of ...Justin S. Martinez Article Length: Very Short |

 ...What did Christ our Surety accomplish?
• He reconciled us to God in his sin-atoning death.
• He entered into Heaven as our Covenant-Head and claimed our eternal inheritance in our name, as our Surety.
• Also, He will, in the last day, present all of his elect faultless before the Father’s glory with exceeding great joy.
In that day, he will appear without sin. Also those that are in Him will also appear without sin. His Father ...Jim Casey Article Length: Short |
| ... Usurping Christ in the assembly is a major crime against the glory and majesty of God. It defames God's grace, ridicules the cross, blasphemes the Spirit, refuses Omnipotence, promotes sensuality, praises humanity, encourages creativity, spits at the blood of Christ, provokes judgement, settles the secular, invites the reprobate, starves the sheep, mocks the love of God, and tramples the Son of God underfoot.
There is only ONE GOSPEL. And there is only ON... James H. Tippins Article Length: Very Short |
 ... Simple FACT is that true believers sin multiple times a day. People who do not admit this do not hear what the Law says, or know what sin is. This means they don't hear the gospel either, because they are blinded by the brilliance of their own self righteousness and fake personal holiness.
God's people are accepted ALWAYS and ONLY in Christ 24/7, whether on a "good day" or bad. Problem is, people need to watch out for what they think their &...Scott Price Article Length: Very Short |
 ... The temperature is coming down as Fall weather is on us and winter is right round the corner.
So, my wife and I go to check the kids to see if they are properly covered.
The kids take off their socks and kick off their blankets only to wake up with a runny nose.
So, we go and check on them, sometimes even in the middle of the night.
And this happens all the time.
The amazing thing is that non...James Guyo Article Length: Short |

God raised both the deceiver and the deceived.
There shall always be problems as long as the Lord tarries.
The believer shall continue to battle with sin. Sin is the enemy that God left in the "Promised Land" that we may continue to look to Christ.
There is absolutely no hope in any institution that is headed by sinners, do don... James Guyo Article Length: Short |
 ... What is it with zealous youthful men that makes them to be heretic hunters? Why don’t we see the ladies engage in this behavior? I see day old regenerate people (by their own claims) go on the hunt for heretics! They talk about this false doctrine and that false doctrine - and this heretic and that heretic. Nevermind them not writing something to edify the saints - they are puffed up in pride and glory in their knowledge and intellectualism. ...Brandan Kraft Article Length: Very Short |
 ... For the life of me, what's the point of the "free offer"? How is it supposed to manifest the "wideness in God's mercy" on those whom Himself wills to harden, according to His sovereign good pleasure? Where does it ever say in the Bible that Christ was anointed to preach the potentially good news BOTH to the [spiritually] rich AND to the poor [in spirit]? Or that He came to call BOTH the self-righteous AND sinners to repentance? Some Calvinists seem bent ...Renat Ilyasov Article Length: Short |
 ... I am a sinner. I am NOT any better than any other sinner. I have been set apart by God, made 'righteous' because of Another's finished satisfactory work. God is too holy to look upon sin, He only sees the blood of Christ, the finished work of His Son concerning His elect.
The Lord chose to love me, to save me, to grant me life everlasting...why? Is it because I am such a 'good' person? Is it because I may perform acts of kindness, or give to tho...Laurie Bernardini Article Length: Short |
| ... The road to hell is paved with good works, and high and lofty thoughts about one's own self. Many people deem themselves good enough before God because they are not a rolling in the gutter drunk, or a drug addict. They aren't immoral {in their eyes}, they work hard and have a comfortable living. Their world is rosy, a smooth and easy path. They teach their kids to pursue a good education and comfortable living thereafter, but they fail to tell them how wicked they are befor... Laurie Bernardini Article Length: Short |
 ..."So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law, but I see another law at work in me. What a wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Christ Jesus my Lord!...Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and...Thomas Hemeon Article Length: Medium |
 ...Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priest and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him (Jesus) unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:14-15)
Ever since he “betrayed innocent blood” (Matthew 27:3-4), selling the Lord Jesus to the highest bidder, the name Judas has been a byword, symbolic of the worst form of treachery and deceit known to man. However, though he stands out...Jack Shanks Article Length: Short |
 ... What matters besides, above, or beyond the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, and of our acceptance with God through him? What spirit, or doctrine, or wisdom soever it be that centers not in, that cometh not from, and that terminates not within, the bounds of the gospel of Jesus Christ, is not worthy the study of the sons of God; neither is it food for the faith of Jesus Christ (John 6:51); for that is the flesh of Christ (and that is eternal life). Whither will you go? Beware of the...John Bunyan Article Length: Short |
 ... My quarrel with the Archbishop, whom I formerly quoted on this subject, is very moderate. He was a moral philosopher and it would seem that it was chiefly in compliance with the rites of his country that he gave any place to the name of Jesus Christ in his scheme of religion. For his scheme would suffer no great loss by the want of that name. The like may be said of Mr Locke and many other philosophical Christians.
My principle quarrel is w...Robert Sandeman Article Length: Medium |
