STUDIES ON SAVING FAITH Part III 8. COMING TO CHRIST WITH OUR AFFECTIONS "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me" (John 6:37), declared the Lord Jesus. He who, before the foundation of the world, gave the persons of His people unto Christ, now gives them, in regeneration, a heart for Christ.... Read More

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 15. THE LOVE OF GOD There are three things told us in Scripture concerning the nature of God. First, "God is spirit" (John 4:24). In the Greek there is no indefinite article, and to say "God is a spirit" is most objectionable, for it places Him in a class with others. God is "s... Read More

THE DOCTRINE OF MAN’S IMPOTENCE Chapter 7 COMPLEMENT Let us begin by defining our term. The "complement" of a thing is that which gives it completeness. In contemplating the natural condition of Adam’s children we obtain a one-sided and misleading view if we confine our attention to their spiritual ... Read More

Two things are beyond dispute: God is Sovereign, man is responsible. In this book we have sought to expound the former; in our other works ... Read More

An unreliable person is one who says: "Yes, yes" and then does not do it, just like the first son of the parable of the father and the two sons. Jesus preferred the second son although he said "No" at first (Matt. 21: 28-31). The unreliable, even when they do not promise to do anything, are always i... Read More

TEXT.--Acts 20:35: It is more blessed to give than to receive. On what occasion our Lord Jesus Christ uttered these words we are not informed, as they are not recorded by the Evangelists. But we have the authority of an inspired Apostle, that He taught this doctrine. In considering this subject I wi... Read More

Summary of sermon by Erlo Stegen, 23 Mar 2014 1 John 4 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is...
