  [PDF - Adobe Acrobat]The essential question concerning the debate is whether or not salvation comes by means of human faith or by means of the faithfulness of Christ. In biblical scholarship the debate comes down to translating either as an objective genitive, 'faith in Christ', or as a subjective genitive, 'faith of Christ' or even better 'faithfulness of Christ.' by Bryce Null http://www.academia.edu/370699/Tracking_the_Pistis_Christou_Debate size 41025 bytes indexed 6/8/13 Hits: 7 This is a closely reasoned argument on our faith in Christ versus the faith of Christ, and challenges what is generally accepted as the meaning of the faith of Christ. This argument strengthens the old Reformed position on 'the active obedience of Jesus Christ.' by D. W. B.

What happened to the permanence view of marriage? In 60 years between 1920 and 1980 the divorce rate more than tripled. Many Churches allow no fault divorce. But what is the Reformed Doctrine on Divorce? By Andrew J. Webb http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/articles/what_is_the_reformed_doctrine _of_divorce.shtml size 54799 bytes indexed 5/11/13 Hits: 20 It was a touching scene that brought about the reconciliation of David to his son. Through all of the intervening five years David's love for the young man had not dimmed. He loved him dearly with a love that was intense, and he showed it. The young man came into the court with all of the appearance of humility and repentance. by Rev.

These two olive trees produce golden olive oil, and remarkably the golden olive oil are piped immediately to the golden candlestick. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. http://www.pilgrim-covenant.com/weekly-articles/not-by-might-nor-by-powe r size 45378 bytes indexed 4/23/13 Hits: 30 THE Lord is here speaking unto a stubborn and rebellious people, who thought themselves far on in religion because of external things; and now the Lord, who loves the welfare of His people, resolves either to bring them home unto Himself or leave them inexcusable. -by William Guthrie http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/come_let_us_reason_together_by _william_guthrie.shtml size 32656 bytes indexed 4/11/13 Hits: 27 Come now, let us reason together. The Lord invites His rebels to sit with Him to discuss the situation of 200 years of growing rebellion. Destruction is just around the corner, yet the Lord makes one last appeal. What is this but the surprising patience and kindness of Jesus once again showing itself. by H. Leon Ben-Ezra http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/come_let_us_reason_together.sh tml size 23363 bytes indexed 4/9/13 Hits: 34 Next to the pattern of our blessed master, think on the lives of the apostles, the goodly fellowship of the prophets, who by a constant looking to the author and finisher of our faith, view how holily, how self-denyingly, how unblameably they lived. by George Whitefield http://www.reformedreader.org/rbs/whitefield/denial.htm size 35941 bytes indexed 4/5/13 Hits: 26 The Jewish calendar is a complicated affair, and it evolved over a long period of time. In ancient times, the dating of the months was based on observation (of the new moon's crescent in the western sky at evening). Based on a combination of Scripture, analysis and scholarship, the date of the Exodus was 1457 B.C. -by Bruno Kolberg http://www.redatedkings.com/download/Redating.pdf size 3255189 bytes indexed 4/3/13 Hits: 30 You hear ministers tell you of the odiousness and danger and sad effects of sin; but of all the sins that you ever heard of, there is scarce any more odious and dangerous than selfishness, and yet I doubt there are many that never were much troubled at it, nor sensible of its malignity. -by Richard Baxter http://www.reformedsermonarchives.com/bax1.htm size 6685 bytes indexed 4/3/13 Hits: 29 The charismatic movement is of recent origin, and is a phenomenon of the late twentieth century. And yet it is as old as the history of the New Testament church. As the evil of modern-day Charistaticism and Pentecostalism were found in the Montanist movement of the third century A.D. -by Herman Hanko http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/articles/the_first_charismatic.shtml size 15844 bytes indexed 4/2/13 Hits: 32 There is nothing lost by self-denial. We shall be abundantly compensated (Matthew 19:29). Self-denial is a rational thing. For if self is an enemy—then it is wisdom to discard it. There is a rationality in all God's commands. Why would He have us deny fleshly lusts—but because they wage war against our souls -by Thomas Watson http://www.gracegems.org/Watson/duty_of_self_denial.htm size 0 bytes indexed 3/27/13 Hits: 37 The failure of the Protestant doctrine of divorce - From The Great Divorce Controversy and the disolving of the permanence view of marriage. We have uncovered the weed that allowed divorce to spread like a plague across England and America. Yet in both, acceptance of no-fault divorce has settled the controversy and done away with the need for debate. by ES Williams http://www.belmonthouse.co.uk/Marriage,%20cohab%20and%20divorce/battle_o ver_marriage.htm size 61814 bytes indexed 3/14/13 Hits: 47 This all implies, first of all, that we can view our children as God's children. That's an important incentive to parents. An incentive, first of all, to be faithful in the instruction of their children. Since God says to you parents, "I give you elect children," then that means that your training isn't going to be in vain. God is pleased to save our children in the way of our faithful instruction of them. by Rev. Daniel Kleyn http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/the_promise_to_us_and_our_chil dren.shtml size 32306 bytes indexed 3/12/13 Hits: 45 The first words of Ephesians 4:15, 'speaking the truth in love' are well known and often quoted. Putting these words into practice, however, is often a different story. The relationship between truth and love sometimes appears strained, as though the two words are in tension: you either hone in on the truth or you put your convictions aside for the sake of love. by Rev. Stephen 't Hart http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/the_truth_in_love.shtml size 19964 bytes indexed 3/10/13 Hits: 44 Biblical hermeneutics is the art and science of interpreting the Bible. At the time of the Reformation, debates over interpretation played an enormously important role. The Reformers disagreed with their opponents not only over what this or that passage meant, but over the nature of interpretation and the locus of authority in interpretation. by D. A. Carson http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/articles/must_i_learn_how_to_interpret _the_bible.shtml size 50809 bytes indexed 2/26/13 Hits: 58 It is the forgiven man who begins to fear the Lord. You will never love Christ as an unforgiven sinner for no unforgiven sinner ever has the love of Christ in his heart. The new birth, that fundamental changing principal of the nature that makes a sinner willing to come to Christ, means that every true believer is a new creature in Christ Jesus. by Rev. David Silversides http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/sermons/the_dividing_line_of_love_to_c hrist.shtml size 32968 bytes indexed 2/24/13 Hits: 57 Evangelicals have always struggled with the issue of contraception. In an attempt to produce a Christian view, the Christian Institute has published a pro-life guide to birth control to encourage Christians to use what it calls 'pro-life' methods of contraception. But is the concept of 'pro-life' contraception consistent with biblical teaching? -by Belmont House http://www.belmonthouse.co.uk/contraception.htm size 14739 bytes indexed 2/17/13 Hits: 66 The issue of divorce has been a long debated topic of discussion among biblical scholars. Most of the problems center around texts that might appear to be contradictory. The primary difficulty is centered around the two Matthean exception clauses (Matt. 5:32; 19:9) that seem to be at odds with the rest of the New Testament. by Stephen D.
