Tried by Fire "But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold" Job 23:10 Job here corrects himself. In the beginning of the chapter we find him saying: "Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning" (vv. 1, 2). Poor Job felt...

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" Psalm 116:15 KJV This is one of the many comforting and blessed statements in Holy Scripture concerning that great event from which the flesh so much shrinks. If the Lord’s people would more frequently make a prayerful and...

... Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined...

Six questions that have never been answered Dear Egalitarian Friends, We know that many of you within the evangelical world hold your views because you have been convinced that egalitarianism is what the Bible teaches. You tell us that our differences on male and female roles are just...

By nature we are not in subjection. We are born into this world filled with the spirit of insubordination. As the descendants of our rebellious first parents we inherit their evil nature. "Man is born like a wild ass’s colt" (Job 11:12). This is very unpalatable and humbling, but nevertheless it...

I In what can only be called a strange sign of the times in which we live, Evangelical reaction to the election of a new Roman Pontiff ranges from mildly encouraged to wildly enthusiastic. Perhaps this only reflects the effete civility of our day. Perhaps it means that American Christians...

When we consider maturity do we think of spiritual gifts, like the Corinthians? Or Just how should we determine our growth in maturity? 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish...

"Despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him" Hebrews 12:5 KJV It is of first importance that we learn to draw a sharp distinction between Divine punishment and Divine chastisement: important for maintaining the honour and glory of God, and for the peace...

Whilst it's true mankind possess 'a will' to choose, period. Can it be argued from scripture that it's free and what is free from a biblical point of view when considering sin and righteousness?

From what I've heard it's estimated between 12-16 yrs and the latter being most likely. How should one(christian) think about the age of consent, when such a thing shifts as the sands of tides do and political and minority groups seek to influence it according to their own agenda...

What God Has Joined In order to serve the Lord faithfully, we must not only distinguish things that differ but also preserve the connection of things God has joined. Law and love are two such things that God has joined. They are inseparable mates. One of the greatest difficulties in dealing...

The basic question of the historic antinomian controversy was whether or not the moral Law of God is abrogated in the Gospel; and it was the assertion that it is thus abrogated which gave Antinomianism its name. This issue is presenting itself again in connection with some of the current and...

Some Dispensationalists do not go quite so far as others in arbitrarily erecting notice-boards over large sections of Scripture, warning Christians not to tread on ground which belongs to others, yet there is general agreement among them that the Gospel of Matthew—though it stands at the...

We affirmed that the unregenerate sinner is, in heart and practise, an Antinomian; that is, one who is opposed to the Law of God. Proof of this is furnished by Rom. 8:7, which tells us, “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.” It...

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him" - Hebrews 11 :6 "But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in that heard it," - Hebrews 4:2 The linking together of these verses shows us the worthlessness of all religious activities where faith be lacking. The...

"I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee" (Job 42:5). What did Job signify by this? Obviously his words are not to be understood literally. No, by employing a common figure of speech, he meant that the mists of unbelief (occasioned by self-righteousness) had...

"I am a companion of all that fear thee and of them that keep thy precepts" Psalm 119:63 In the above verse we have a description of God’s people according to the course of their lives and conduct. They are a people marked by two things: fear and submission, the latter being the fruit of the...

"Be anxious for nothing" Philippians 4:6 Worrying is as definitely forbidden as theft. This needs to be carefully pondered and definitely realized by us, so that we do not excuse it as an innocent "infirmity." The more we are convicted of the sinfulness of anxiety, the sooner are we likely to...

“We turn now to consider ... the seventh Epistle, addressed to the church of the Laodiceans (Revelation 3:14-22). This Epistle portrays the last state of the professing church on earth, a state characterized by high pretentions and self-sufficiency, but so utterly nauseous to Christ that He...
