Aylmer Revival Meeting – March 2009
March 8, 2009 PM – Aylmer, ON No Other Way Bro. Ernest Benion Jr. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Text: Acts 4:12 There is only one way to heaven – through Jesus Christ. The religious world is shying away from the exclusivity of the one way as taught in the Bible. There is [...]
You Must Be Born Again
“Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.” John 3:7. The world in which we live is becoming more wicked with each new day. Threats of terrorism control the news headlines. Teenagers are killing their classmates and peers. Regard for the well-being of others is considered to be a sign of [...]
Ye Must Be Born Again
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born [...]
Who Shall Deliver Me?
“But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Rom. 7:23-24. In chapter seven of Romans, the apostle [...]
Wine and the Bible
Did Jesus turn water into intoxicating wine? Did He serve alcoholic wine at the last supper? What does the evidence tell us? The Bible speaks plainly on this subject. Historical records regarding the preparation, preservation and use of wine are also clear. Consider this report (1820) by William Patton. The term “alcoholic” is not used. [...]
Was Judas Ever Saved?
The subject concerning the salvation of Judas Iscariot is pertinent to the prevalent teaching of sinning “Christians,” commonly referred to as “once saved always saved,” which is being taught by the large majority of sectism today. The importance of this topic cannot be underestimated, for if Judas was never saved, then there is no contradiction [...]
Turned Upside Down by the World
Souls are in grave danger of embracing the smooth, effeminate brand of “Christianity” that is so easily found today. Were Peter and Paul to enter upon this modern scene, I expect their holy indignation would rise to boiling and their tongues employ emphatic denunciations, for this neo-gospel is not the gospel that they laboured and [...]
To the Unconverted
By Joseph Alleine Awake, and think of where you are, and where you are going. While you are in your unconverted, unbelieving state, all your sins are unpardoned, and the wrath of God abides on you. Suppose you saw a poor creature hanging over a burning fiery furnace, by nothing but a slender thread, about [...]
The Joking Preacher
If it were not for the possibility of involving me in condemnation by remaining silent, I would refrain from writing on this subject; but since every individual is held responsible before God for the degree of light he has received, I am duty bound to perform this cheerless task of raising my voice against the [...]
Modern Tongues Delusion
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole [...]
Sinning Saints?
The enmity of the world to Christ and His religion is, undoubtedly, the natural result of man’s universal sinfulness; for as the apostle Paul says, “We are all by nature the children of wrath.” The natural man is therefore constitutionally and fundamentally at variance with God and His holy religion. The forms of religion may [...]
Sin – A Little Thing?
“Sin…exceeding sinful.” Romans 7:13. Christian, beware how thou thinkest lightly of sin. Take heed lest thou fall by little and little. Sin, a little thing? Is it not a poison? Who knows its deadliness? Sin, a little thing? Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes? Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock [...]
Scriptural Proofs Against the Modern Tongues Theory
The apostle John gave a warning that is imperative for all to heed in these last days: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” I Jn. 4:1. With the same love and concern for souls that caused John [...]
Repentance
Repentance implies that a measure of divine wisdom is communicated to the sinner, and that he thereby becomes wise to salvation. His mind, purposes, opinions, and inclinations are changed, and that in consequence, there is a total change in his conduct. It need scarcely be remarked that, in this state, a man feels deep anguish [...]
Once Saved Always Saved?
There are many preachers in today’s world who give people a false sense of security by teaching them that once they are born again, they can never again be anything but a child of God, and that they have sealed their destiny in heaven. They often use a father-son illustration to support their doctrine, saying [...]
Menace of Religious Movies
When God gave to Moses the blueprint of the tabernacle He was careful to include every detail. Then, lest Moses should get the notion that he could improve on the original plan, God warned him solemnly, “And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shown thee in the mount.” God, not Moses, [...]
Everlasting Punishment
The subject of the final destiny of those who persist in a life of wickedness has not been left to the mere opinions of men, but is a matter of revelation in the Christian scriptures. Furthermore, the knowledge which we possess of the manner of God’s dealings with sinful men in the past would lead [...]
How to be Saved
First of all, we should notice several outstanding facts: 1. Life, however long it is, is very brief. 2. There is a HEAVEN that we must seek to gain and a HELL that we must seek to shun. 3. Soon you will be in eternity. 4. You will spend eternity in heaven in a state [...]
Must We Sin?
By D. S. Warner A Conversation Between Brother Light and Brother Foggy First Conversation Bro. Light: Good morning, Brother Foggy. I am happy to see you. Come in. I have been wishing to have a talk with you about this great salvation I have found in Jesus. Bro. Foggy: I am a little in a [...]
Do Christians Sin?
Let the Scriptures Speak: Jesus Christ is a mighty Saviour and His gospel is both glorious and powerful. A truly repentant soul will find in salvation not only forgiveness, but also deliverance from all sin. Yes, a Christian does live free from committing sin! Sadly, most of what is being passed off as the gospel [...]
Homosexuality – An Abomination to God
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him [...]
The Evolution of Calvinism
By Malcolm Lavender Introduction: On major doctrinal issues Calvinism evolved from Paganism, Gnosticism, and Roman Catholicism. Calvinists and all others holding the doctrines of unconditional salvation, or once saved, always saved, are major enemies of the cross. Although their position is supported neither by experience nor rational explanation, it is paraded as orthodoxy demanding uncritical [...]
Common Excuses for Sinning Refuted
The Bible says, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” These words were written by the apostle John in I John 1:8. The Bible teaches that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and therefore all need a Saviour to [...]
Christians Are Saved From Sin
By F. G. Smith “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” I John 3:5-6. This is the uniform gospel standard, as we shall see. 1. Christ taught it. “Verily, [...]
Calvinism – Arminianism, Which?
By Roger Berry A minister once visited a seasoned old farmer in a mountain community. Very soon the conversation turned to spiritual things. The wiry farmer surprised the minister with his knowledge of the Bible. “I take it you’re a Christian?” queried the minister. “No,” retorted the farmer. “God hasn’t saved me yet. He might [...]
Pressing Reasons Why You Should Be Saved Today
By J. Rice “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, [...]
Are You Ready?
“Prepare to meet thy God.” Are you prepared to meet God in peace at any moment? Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die? On that day, the question will not be, did you believe in God, or did you go to church regularly, or were you a nice, moral person. The [...]
Are You Eternally Secure In Your Sin?
Are you eternally secure in your sin? Let us look at what the Bible says about the conditional security of the true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Below are Bible verses that contradict the teaching of the “once saved always saved” fallacy. Heb. 2:1-3: “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [...]
