 Info-Net'ing The Biblical Community ( latest additions listed First )
 past thirty years, broken my heart to see, and to hear, the dishonour and degradation that is done to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by those who claim to follow him. Religious hypocrites ridicule the godly for they despise what they cannot imitate. The example of godly men and women sticks like a thorn in the conscience of the hypocrite. -by Philip Livingstone http://www.thebrookcherith.org size 36717 bytes indexed 8/17/10 Hits: 19 What is the purpose and mission of the Church? How should the Church govern itself? How should the sacraments be administered? More generally, how should ministry be done and for what purpose? Conclusion: The Church Must Be Dynamic In Its Pursuit Of Holiness and God's Glory. -by Rev. Bryn MacPhail http://www.reformedtheology.ca/ministry.html size 32361 bytes indexed 8/5/10 Hits: 13 There is, at present time, a proliferation of new translations, revisions, and paraphrases of the Bible. One after another, new versions of the Bible pour off the presses, so that it becomes difficult to keep up with them. The justification for all these new versions is the alleged weaknesses of the King James Bible. Are They a Blessing? Or a Curse? -by Prof. David Engelsma http://hopeprc.com/reformedwitness/1994/RW199409.htm size 37151 bytes indexed 8/2/10 Hits: 15 Gambling has become the pet sin of many Christians? But should Christians gamble. Can Christians Gamble? Being entrusted as God's stewards carries the responsibility of using what He has given us wisely (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 12:48: 19:11-27). Is it biblical to gamble? The God of the Bible is the Lawgiver and the Judge of all the earth. -by Tony Warren http://www.mountainretreat.org/faq/is_gambling_a_sin.shtml size 0 bytes indexed 5/30/10 Hits: 39 There’s a saying not much used anymore that the job of a pastor is to teach people how to die. The first time I heard this was in seminary and I thought there could hardly be a grimmer job description. It’s not surprising this saying has gone by the wayside, but it is a shame. It’s one of the great mysteries of the faith that God has chosen to work in such a way that the life we truly seek first requires our death. -by Reverend Matthew B. Reeves http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/running_to_finish.shtml size 0 bytes indexed 5/28/10 Hits: 34 What does the Bible say about Christian indemnification? Is buying insurance Biblical? This is a question that is frequently asked by many conscientious and faithful Christians. Some Christians believe that those who truly trust in God, shouldn't buy, nor do they need insurance as it is a sign of distrusting that "God will provide," and is a form of gambling. -by Tony Warren http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/faq/is_buying_insurance_biblical.shtml size 0 bytes indexed 5/24/10 Hits: 42 Is the modern day phenomenon in the Church of the so-called "Speaking in Tongues" movement, or glossolalia, biblical for Christians today? What does the Bible really say (or not say) concerning Tongues? -by Tony Warren http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/eschatology/is_speaking_in_tongues_bib lical.shtml size 0 bytes indexed 5/11/10 Hits: 48 On Mother’s day there is no greater gift that we can receive from our children than their choice to be connected to Jesus Christ. We cannot keep our children from the realities of this life but we can give them something far more important, the fruit produced from the vine of Jesus Christ so they too will want to be connected to the tree of life. -by Mike Molenaar http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/no_easy_answers.shtml size 0 bytes indexed 5/3/10 Hits: 41 There are wax fruits and there are true fruits. There are paste jewels and true jewels. There are fair-weather friends and there are true friends. There are true statements and false statements. Jesus discovered that there are disciple wannabes, false disciples, and there are true disciples. Jesus wants all who follow Him to do so sincerely, unconditionally, and truly. So what does it take according to his text to be true disciples? -by David P. Nolte http://www.discipleshipresourcecenter.com/Articles/Discipleship_Articles /Disciples_Who_Are_True/ size 27173 bytes indexed 3/14/10 Hits: 69 The subject of euthanasia covers vast areas of philosophy, theology, and medicine, and consideration of it can be quite overwhelming, both intellectually and emotionally. My qualification to speak on this subject is simply that I am a Christian physician with two roles, a principal in a general medical practice, and a community hospital doctor. -by Dr. Charles C. Crichton, General Practitioner, Portree, Isle of Skye. http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/articles/Euthanasia.shtml size 35545 bytes indexed 11/9/09 Hits: 101 How various and discordant are the reasons assigned by the advocates of a man-made ministry, for their preference of human above divine qualifications for the ministry. Examine the history of the church of God in all ages of the world, and tell us, if it be true, that the cause of truth has been defended by the learned and wise of this world. In what college did Moses, and Aaron, and Joshua, and Sampson, and Gideon, and Daniel graduate? -by Gilbert Bebee http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/apologetics/ministerial_education.shtm l size 18926 bytes indexed 10/1/09 Hits: 114 Whosoever Will: Let Him Take the Water of Life Freely - As the title of this book may suggest to those that understand, the following pages are intended to set forth the inseparable connection between the certainty that "whosoever will may come," and the truth of God's sovereign grace: the former is based on and rooted in the latter. -by Herman Hoeksema http://www.prca.org/whosoever_will/ size 2450 bytes indexed 9/30/09 Hits: 137 Shewing by whom it has been denied and opposed, and by whom asserted and defended in all ages of Christianity. Eternal sonship of Christ or incarnate sonship? Christ was the Son of God before he was the son of Mary, even from all eternity. This is denied by the Socinians, and others akin to them, but was known by the saints of the Old Testament. -by John Gill http://www.pbministries.org/books/gill/Sermons&Tracts/sermon_17.htm size 133293 bytes indexed 9/14/09 Hits: 130 The Preaching of the Sermon on the Mount, Chapter 13: Jesus’ Fulfillment of the Old Testament. When we discuss the fulfillment of the law we need to distinguish between laws that are ceremonial and laws that are moral. They are obviously not fulfilled in the exact same manner. The ceremonial laws are fulfilled in their own way because they foreshadow Christ typologically. The moral law is fulfilled in a completely different manner than the types and prophecies. -by Brian Schwertley http://www.reformedonline.com/view/reformedonline/SermononMount13.htm size 57819 bytes indexed 7/22/09 Hits: 169 Kierkegaard has stated, "The story of Abraham contains a teleological suspension of the ethical."1 The Almighty had given a peculiar directive to the Patriarch. It is a directive which contains a number of investigative avenues. But the directive itself is quite puzzling. Some believe that God, the Holy One, would violate the very nature of His being by commanding Abraham to take his son Isaac and sacrifice him as a burnt offering because God was commanding Abraham to murder his son. -by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon http://www.apuritansmind.com/Apologetics/TeleologicalSuspension.htm size 59001 bytes indexed 7/1/09 Hits: 146 The heirs of the Sinai covenant (and thus of the earthly land) are those who are ethnic descendants of Abraham, circumcised in the flesh; the heirs of the Abrahamic covenant (fulfilled in the new covenant) are all people, Jew and Gentile, who are "in Christ" through faith alone, circumcised in heart. There is no way back to Sinai, but this is acually good news, since no one could be saved according to the righteousness of the law. The only way to be saved, and therefore, to belong to the true Israel of God, is to be in Christ. -by Michael Horton http://www.modernreformation.org/default.php?page=printfriendly&var1=Pri nt&var2=41 size 32721 bytes indexed 6/21/09 Hits: 162 A topical paper on the truly appalling, unconscionable nature of many professing Christians in frivolusly saying 'Oh My God' today. When they should be making an assiduous effort at as Godly speech as possible, they instead seem to be content to live as close to the world as possible. Showing no care to exercise caution at bridling the mouth, they routinely use the Lord's name in vain. -by Tony Warren http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/faq/is_saying_oh_my_god_a_sin.shtml size 21765 bytes indexed 6/15/09 Hits: 185 Many people have asked "what does Hosanna mean," and so this FAQ is a brief explanation so that conscientious Christians can have some general idea of what thiis word indicates. The language of Hosannas in Psalms chapter 118 is Messianic, and is referenced in the New Testament when Christ comes into Jerusalem hailed as the Deliverer. -by Tony Warren http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/faq/what_does_hosanna_mean.shtml size 13919 bytes indexed 6/13/09 Hits: 166 Clothes for Christmas - This is a time of the year when many people receive the gift of clothing as an act of charity for those who need them, but do not have means to obtain them. It is a season of the gift of clothing. In this time, when the world celebrates Christmas, we give and receive gifts. However, the first Christmas was about the great gift God gave to us. A Child, through which we receive the gift of "clothing." The clothing of His righteousness. -by Bernie L. Gillespie http://www.inchristalone.org/ClothedChrist.htm size 55080 bytes indexed 5/25/09 Hits: 163 This was the Great War and triumph of our King. The POWER released by the Gospel. The result of His servanthood will one day be realized when our King returns in all His glory and power and might to send the enemies of the church to eternal Hell fire. Satan, who was bound at the cross for all the years of the Church’s existence, but still enabled by God to test and persecute the woman, the Church, with his anti-Christ’s agents glory to God who came and gave his life for many, when the light shone in darkness. That was made possible by the Mighty Power of the Triune God, Glory to His Name. http://www.reformedtruth.co.za/mighty_gospel.aspx size 219012 bytes indexed 5/21/09 Hits: 183 |
