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

“ To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” -ISAIAH 8:20 [KJV] All false doctrine is due to neglecting the Word of God entirely, deleting certain portions from the Word of God, adding to the Word of God or taking a passage in the Word of God out of its context and misapplying it. It is the command of the Lord that we bow to the authority of the Scriptures and that our beliefs be confined to that which is within the borders of this inspired Book. We must hear what “Thus saith the LORD,” and reject every voice that speaks contrary to His Word. Like the Psalmist may our determination be, “I WILL HEAR WHAT GOD THE LORD WILL SPEAK: for He will speak peace to His people, and to His saints: but let them not turn again to folly” [PSALM 85:8] . Like the prophet, may we say, “I will stand on my watch, and set me on the tower, and WILL WATCH TO SEE WHAT HE WILL SAY TO ME , and what I shall answer...

" Remember me, O L ORD , with the favour that T hou bearest unto T hy people: O visit me with T hy salvation ." -P SALM 106:4 [KJV]   How is a man brought and taught to want to be "visited with" God's salvation? He must know something first of condemnation. Salvation only suits the condemned. "The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost ; " and therefore salvation only suits the lost. A man must be lost— utterly lost—before he can prize God's salvation. And how is he lost? By losing all his religion, losing all his righteousness, losing all his strength, losing all his confidence, losing all his hopes, losing all that is of the flesh; losing it by its being taken from him, and stripped away by the hand of God. A man who is brought into this state of utter beggary and complete bankruptcy—to be nothing, to have nothing, to know nothing—he is the man, who in the midnight watches, in his lonely hours, by his fireside, and a...

Dr Law and Dr Grace D.G. Miles McKee   Many years ago, I heard an old time, South Texas preacher, preach about two doctors. He said something like this; “Let me introduce you to two Doctors who both claim to have the ability to bring us spiritual health.  One is Called Dr Law and the other, Dr Grace.  Each has a different theory as to how to get us well. Take Dr Law, for example.  Some patients went to him about the question of salvation.  Dr Law glared and said, “God does His part, and you do yours!”  That sounded sensible, but those who followed his prescription were always left in doubt as to whether or not they had done enough on their part. So, the patients then went to Dr Grace, and Dr Grace said, “You can’t do and don’t do anything to gain salvation.” Back they then go to Dr Law.  When he hears about Dr Grace’s diagnosis, Dr Law stiffened and glares at them.  Quick as a flash, he says, “In Acts 16:31, the Philippian...

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.  Selah." -PSALM 24:7-10 [KJV]
