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.

 ... 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 oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. - Leviticus 2:13
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 |
 ..."For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear...Norm Wells Article Length: Medium |
| ... 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 |
 ...The LORD said to Moses, When you go to Egypt, do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. - Exodus 4:21
You shall speak all I command you and Aaron your brother shall speak unto b Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, that I may lay My hand upon E...Nicholas Wade Article Length: Long |
 ..."For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." - 1 John 5:7
A spiritual knowledge of the Trinity lies at the foundation of all vital godliness. To know Father, Son, and Holy Ghost by special teaching and divine revelation, is the sum and substance of spiritual religion, and is eternal life; according to the Lord's own testimony, John 17:3, "And this is life eternal, that they might know...J.C.

 ... I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, “If any man doth ascribe aught of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright.” It may seem a harsh sentiment; but he who in his soul believes that man does of his own free-will turn to Christ, cannot have been taught of God, for that is one of the first principles taught us when God begins with...Charles Spurgeon Article Length: Very Short |
 ... Are we to speak the truth to all men or are we to love all men and seek to maintain unity and harmony?
Both and the two are not mutually exclusive. Paul tells us in Ephesians 4 that we are to “speak the truth in love..” Truth is not to be spoken like a dart thrusted nor is error to be compromised for the sake of unity. We are always sinners dealing with sinners given to extremes and pride but the knowledge and gifts that God has sovereignly given throug...Gary Shepard Article Length: Short |
| ... I am saddened when I think of the myriads of people who, in earnestness, zeal and sincerity, will meet today and listen to useless, graceless, Christless sermons. They will be admonished about morality and human kindness, loving and forgiving each other, but they will not hear of God’s free and sovereign grace. They will not be confronted with the message of how God can be just and justify the ungodly. Be thankful that God has put you where you can hear about mercy for t...

 ... The doctrines we preach and love are not mere teachings of some particular method or plan, but the doctrines of Christ, who IS our Gospel; Christ who is sovereign over all flesh; Christ, whose grace is both sovereign and free. Not to preach a sovereign Christ, is to preach another Christ. To preach another Christ is to preach another gospel (which is not another, Galatians 1:6-9). It is just that simple. Mark it down, you cannot separate Christ from the Gospel or the Gospel from Ch...Maurice Montgomery Article Length: Very Short |
 ...“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” - II Timothy 3:1
I imagine most people would say that we are living in perilous times right now. These are not perilous days because of the pandemic gripping the world. These are not perilous days because of civil unrest caused by man’s hateful nature. These are perilous days because of the many issues that take our attention off of Christ.
