"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

 "EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE; HE IS A SHIELD UNTO THEM THAT PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM. ADD THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR." P roverbs 30:5-6 [King James Bible] An Urgent Plea to Roman Catholics "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." I Peter 1:24-25 [King James Bible] ----------------------------------------------------------------------   T HE RELIGIOUS-POLITCAL SYSTEM known as the Roman Catholic Church began to take shape in the Fourth Century. As the years rolled by, the Roman church increasingly exercised power which was not delegated to her by God; and she increasingly promulgated unbiblical doctrine even as she persecuted those who obediently clung to the Word of God. Plainly stated, t...

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith." - E PHESIANS 3:17 [KJV] God bade Moses receive from the people oil for the light, and to set up a candlestick with seven lamps, ever burning with this oil, to illuminate the holy place. This light was typical, no doubt, of the Holy Spirit, but as it is only by His own gracious light that the Lord Jesus is made known, we may still say, that as Christ dwells in the heart by faith, faith giving Him a place in the bosom, He dwells in the enlightened understanding of His saints, in the gracious light of His own manifestations. Have you not seen at times wondrous beauty in the gospel? Has not a sacred light shone, from time to time, upon the holy page, when it testified of Christ? Have you not seen wondrous glory in a free gospel, a gospel that saves the sinner, and yet magnifies and glorifies the justice of God; a gospel that reconciles every apparently jarring attribute, brings justice and mercy to kiss each other, and...

I would never minimize the importance of repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the name of our Lord, He grants us repentance to turn from our idols, to forsake our dead works and He gives us faith to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ as our Prophet, Priest and King. We look to the blood and righteousness of this blessed Savior as the only way whereby a holy God can justly accept fallen sinners. Still, faith and repentance are not saviors. They are not our righteousness. There is but one who is the Savior from sin and He is "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." He is the only Mediator between a holy God and sinful men. He Alone bore the sins of His people and endured the wrath of God in their stead. Christ satisfied offended justice by His substitutionary sacrifice. Full and free salvation is found only in Him. When conscious of sin and troubled by guilt, we must not retreat to repentance and faith for our comfort and assurance of salvation. We m...

ONLY BEFORE AN ALMIGHTY, SOVEREIGN LORD will a person sincerely bow down and worship; only by the will and work of an almighty, sovereign Lord can a person be assured of an eternal salvation; and only in the care of a loving, sovereign Father will a person find comfort in the trials of life. For the least things in our lives are ruled and ordered by our Lord as well as the greatest! Do you believe this? God's reign and rule includes the simple and inconsiderable things. He clothes the lilies of the field, He feeds the fowls of the air, not a sparrow falls without Him and the very hairs of your head are numbered. Shall He not clothe, feed, and care for His children? I can rest and rejoice when One so great and mighty loves me and has determined that all things shall work together for my eternal good (R OMANS 8:28) . -Gospel report by preacher Henry T.
