    Hungering And Thirsting After Righteousness... Are We Doing It???

    Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6) Let me be the first to confess: I am not doing this to the extent that I believe I should be. It troubles me greatly. I want Jesus to come back for His church as soon as possible. But I...

    Tentative and Vitalized Justification, Part 1

    In the following reply to a question concerning the difference between tentative justification and vitalized justification the Pastor explains a bit about consecration and the high calling. (Italics are mine.) There are in fact two distinctive consecrations made by the believer, the first “a...
