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.

 ... 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 |
| ... There is nothing new under the sun saith the preacher.
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.

| ... What satisfaction can a man find in his conscience, in maintaining Saving Grace to be Sovereign Grace, if at the same time he thinks that a man may be a true believer, so as enjoy the Divine favor, who opposes that Grace? Or what delight can a man take in the character of the true God, who thinks that his neighbor may be truly pious and happy in worshiping another god?
In my view, the more a man knows of the character of the true God, and is yet capable of holding ... Robert Sandeman Article Length: Short |
 ...“Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are who judge, for in the thing wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.” (Romans 2:1ff).
The statement above comes at the conclusion of an extensive description of man’s moral depravity and rebellion against God at the beginning of the Apostle’s letter to the Romans.
As he continues, he brings focus to the inherently hypocritical and self-c...John Pedersen Article Length: Short |
 ... Arminian workmongers, who, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, cannot see in the absence of Sinai’s thunder, any incentive to holiness; but those in whose hearts God has recorded the law of the spirit of life, cease not to pray that they may be found in Christ, not having their own righteousness, which is of the law. Their desire is that they may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fello...Gilbert Beebe Article Length: Short |
 ... Our previous son of 8 years, 11months, and 17 days, Bruce, was taken on to Glory by the Sovereign call of our Holy God on June 3, 1978.
His "accidental" death was caused by a small 22 calibre bullet. Yet God took him quickly and peacefully. When he cried out, "Daddy!" I scooped him into my arms before he could fall. As I held him close to my heart in stunned disbelief, he said faintly, "it hurts". Then as I carried him slowl...Frank Boydstun Article Length: Medium |
 ... It never ceases to amaze me how prone man is by nature to self-righteous thoughts concerning their ways:
"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." (Lk. 18:13)
Those men who brought the woman to our Lord caught in the "very act of adultery" exemplify our self-righteousness :

1. When you feel like everything is coming unglued and are "losing" control, go back to God's absolute sovereignty.
Remember, if it is happening God has ordained it, is empowering it and if you are in Christ, all things will work out for your good because you are called according to His purpose.

| ... Like every other person on this planet I was raised by well-intentioned, though misinformed people who taught me "we're all God's children" and that we are "our brother's keeper". This sounded logical to my human nature and understanding, so I just accepted it without question. Many years later, the Lord was pleased to "reveal His Son in me", bringing me through regeneration and conversion into that intimate relationship with Him that...

 ... The doctrine of God’s sovereignty is one that is full of consolation and imparts great peace to the Christian. The sovereignty of God is a foundation that nothing can shake and is more firm than the heavens and earth. How blessed to know there is no corner of the universe that is out of His reach! as said the Psalmist, “Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
