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.

 ...“To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.” - Ephesians 1:6
“Made us accepted” are essentially the same as the words that Gabriel spoke to Mary, “thou art highly favored among women” (Luke 1:28). The Lord has “highly favored,” that is, infinitely graced and accepted His chosen people, those predestinated unto sonship, in ...Jim Byrd Article Length: Short |
 ...“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” - John 1:29
The true messenger calls upon men to look to Jesus. He calls them away from seeing other things and bids them look and “behold the Lamb of God.” God-sent servants do not say, “Look to the priest, look to the altar, look to the church, look to baptism, look to th...Charles Spurgeon Article Length: Short |
 ... Brothers, let us be very careful that we do not make our religion a matter of what error we don't believe and what abuses we don't practice. Satan lays a devious trap in the way of many by making them think that the recognition of error is the same thing as the belief of the truth or that recognizing the wrong path is the same thing as walking on the right path. I have met people whose entire religion lay in what false doctrine they did not believe and what "inconsiste...Joe Terrell Article Length: Short |
| ... I do not want to be negative, but it is a fact that there are many who find the doctrine of salvation by the sovereign grace of God to be greatly offensive. To say to the natural man that it is the will of God that reigns supreme in all things, including salvation, and not man’s will (Romans 9:16), is to go against the tide of popular religious belief. Why do people become adamant in their opposition to salvation by absolute, divine-distinguishing mercy? Her... Jim Byrd Article Length: Short |
 ..."Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father,...Arthur W.

 ...If Jehovah is Infinite in all His ways,
Giving life to man and numbering his days,
Who dares to impeach Him if in His wise plan
He gave shape and direction to the ways of man?
If He in His wisdom did all things create,
Should He turn loose the helm, leave things to Fate?
Did He not have a right in His sinless decree
To mark the way for both you and for me?
If He did decree just what we should do,
I cannot arraign Him, say brother, can you?

| ... We are about to reach the end of our nation’s quadrennial frenzy over who shall occupy the positions of power in our government. We have been bombarded with campaign ads decrying the opposition candidate as evil incarnate with the one making the ad claiming to be the only hope we have of holding back the wave of destruction the opposition will most certainly bring.
But the child of God does not have to participate in that frenzy. We do not have to act as thou... Joe Terrell Article Length: Medium |
 ..."Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 2:5
Christians should excel in the manifestation of Christ's character. The mind which was in Jesus, should be in them. They should consider His character as a model of their own; and be conspicuous for their . . .

 ... I've noticed there are a few sovereign grace preachers on Facebook constantly promoting themselves by preaching against others. In fact, it seems to be their entire ministry...
Example, some of these men love to harp on some of the faults of others like Charles Spurgeon. Yes, he had faults. So does everyone. You won't find a servant of God alive that doesn't have something majorly wrong with him.
But instead...Brandan Kraft Article Length: Short |

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....

 ...“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.

 ... They did not nail him then, but simply bound him. And he, placing his hands behind him, and being bound like a distinguished ram [taken] out of a great flock for sacrifice, and prepared to be an acceptable burnt-offering unto God, looked up to heaven, and said, "O Lord God Almighty, the Father of thy beloved and blessed Son Jesus Christ, by whom we have received knowledge of Thee, the God of angels and powers, and of every creature, and of the whole race of the righteous...Polycarp Article Length: Short |
 ..."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.

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 |
