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 people.
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.

 ... Through the years our family has traveled the country together in ministry. We've pastored congregations in several states and driven across this country from the Bay to the Coast nine times in a van. During those trips (often with an extra stowaway) we've seen a lot of things. Some interesting, some horrifying, but just the same, we have all witnessed together, many experiences that we will never forget.
On a particular trip, we passed an accident al...James H. Tippins Article Length: Medium |
 ... To all of you who are suffering, to all of you who are afraid, please don't worry. God is in complete control. And when this is all said and done, I believe our nation and our world will be so much better off, things will be better than many could have ever dreamed. There will be hardships of course, but it will all be for the good. Stay positive! Stay resilient! Meet the enemy head on, and pray for our nation, our churches, and our families.

 ..."Whatsoever the LORD PLEASED, [that] DID HE in heaven, and IN EARTH, in the seas, and all deep places." - Psalm 135:6)
There are NO ACCIDENTS in God's plan and purpose. NOTHING happens by surprise or chance. The one true and living God didn't just spin this world into existence, step back, and leave it to in the hands of fickle, changeable creatures like us, hoping against all hope that ultimately everything would work out for good.

I saw where there is a run on baby supplies. While thinking about it, I remembered my mother rinsing dirty diapers out in the toilet. And then I could smell the diaper pail in my mind!
And then she was teaching me how to fold the cloth diapers and pin them on my younger brothers.
And then I could hear her in the kitchen... singing to her Lord!
And then I remembered how she showed me... how a b...Glenn McGrew Article Length: Very Short |
 ...Pose a false dilemma.
Erect a straw man.
Equate the life and the expressed convictions of actual persons with aforementioned straw man.
Cut straw man into pieces, burn him, and demonstrate not even so much as the hint of a doubt as to whether you have accurately and truthfully represented the person you have judged.
Be smug, dismissive, and openly, even gleefully ridiculing of those who disagree or take issue with the false dilemma at the basis of your judgment(s).

 ... What does justification mean? People don't talk about these things anymore. Religion has got to the place where the bible is little more than a self help book. I heard a preacher once say "we don't talk about justification, or sanctification, or righteousness. These things upset people. We don't call people sinners because it upsets them. We talk about how they can better their lives and be better people." Listen. You can be as good as you want to be. And I ho...Tim James Article Length: Very Short |
 ... Yesterday I was told a revolting story by one of my friends about their grandchild telling them about something he had seen on one of his friends cell phone at recess. Just having heard what he saw made me sick to my stomach. I have seen pornography and am ashamed to admit it, but what this 12 year old boy saw on the playground on recess was so gross, I want to throw up just to think about it.

 ..."He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings," - 1 Tim 6:4
False teachers are puffed up with pride. The gospel of grace produces a humble spirit (Ephesians 3:8); but the doctrines of men (works and self-righteousness) fill the mind with pride, vanity, and self-esteem.
They really know nothing of spiritual things, of the gospel of Christ, but spen...Henry Mahan Article Length: Short |
| ... All parents, especially those who truly believe God's Gospel of salvation conditioned solely on the blood and imputed righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, have been entrusted with an awesome responsibility when God graciously gives them children. God the Holy Spirit through His wise servant Solomon informs us of that responsibility in Proverbs 22:6 - "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This responsibility isn&... Richard Warmack Article Length: Short |
 ... The apostle John is used of God to tell us this good news, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” If I understand correctly, the tense of this word “cleanseth” is the linear tense which signifies a continual action. This means that the efficacy of Christ's blood in washing away our sins is constant at all times and in all circumstances. It is constant when we are confessing our sins and when we are not. When we are conscious of th...Gary Shepard Article Length: Short |

For those that don't know, Don Fortner is dying. His health is failing him, and his body is suffering the ravages of cancer. I do pray for Don and his health and hope that he recovers.
