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

"Lamb of God, we fall before thee,  Humbly trusting in your cross:  That alone be all our glory;  All things else are dung and dross. You we own a perfect Savior,  Only source of all that's good.  Every grace, and every favor  Comes to us thro' Jesus' blood."                                                                          -preacher Wm. Mason

The “evangelism” of the last sixty years has not evangelized. The “revivals” of the last sixty years have not revived, and the “salvation” of the last sixty years has not saved. Why? Because men have not been told who Jesus is and what He did. They have accepted a popular “Jesus” that has turned America into a gang of Hell-raising, Sabbath-desecrating church members. The Jesus of the Bible is not their Lord. -preacher Rolfe P. Barnard (1904-1969 A.D.) diagnosing the situation in the early 1960s —What would he say today?

"He will be very gracious unto thee; at the voice of thy cry, when H e shall hear it, H e will answer thee." -Isaiah 30:19 [KJV]   Mark, my soul, what is here said; for every word in this sweet scripture tells. Thy God, thy Saviour, thy Jesus, knows thy voice, hears thy cry, and will assuredly answer. He will not only be gracious, but very gracious. He waits to be gracious; waits the most suited time, the best time, the praying time, the crying time; for He times His grace, His mercy, to thy need. And though thou knowest it not, yet so it is; when His time is near at hand, which is always the best time, He puts a cry in thine heart; so that the time of thy cry, and the time for the manifestation of His glory, shall come together. Is not this to be gracious; yea, very gracious? So that, while thou art looking after Him, He is looking upon thee. And before thou callest upon Him, He is coming forth to bless thee. Is not this very gracious? Now then, my soul, make a memorand...

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (26-28FEB21) Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in  SO GREAT SALVATION  by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace - God's unmerited favor - from their sins and from Hell: TWO OPPOSING TESTIMONIES The Pharisee in Luke 18:11-12 proudly stated, “ God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.” The publican in Luke 18:13 cried, “ God be merciful [propitious] to me a sinner.” One, the testimony of the Pharisee, was the rantings of a self-righteous unbeliever. The other, the testimony of the publican, was the testimony of a sinner saved by grace through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Pharisee sought and thought he had found righteousness by what he imagined God had enabled him to be and do. The publican sought an...

 The Delusion of the Free Will Doctrine John 6:44, " No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." “No Man can come to me” This verse of Holy Scripture destroys the false doctrine of free will, and free moral agency which masquerade as truth; but behind the false face of those doctrines are the gates of hell. Our Lord Jesus Christ said “no men can come to me”. This is a direct statement of fact from the mouth of the God-Man. Gainsayers may seek to alter the meaning of these six words; they may wrest the scriptures to their own destruction (II Peter 3:16); but the doctrine of Christ stands fast. There is not one individual of all mankind that has the ability to come to Christ Jesus believing the doctrine of Christ by an act of his will, choice, or decision. No man can come to Christ Jesus because of the adversary who holds him captive, as it is written: “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are ...

SINNERS NEED A MIRACLE! If a man is near-sighted, he only needs corrective glasses; but if he is BLIND, he needs a miracle only God can give– SIGHT! If a man is sick, he only needs medicinal aid; but if he is DEAD, he needs a miracle only God can give– LIFE! If a man has a weak heart, perhaps changing his diet and habits will improve his condition; but if he has a STONY HEART, a deceitful, desperately wicked heart, he needs this miracle- "...a NEW HEART also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  Knowing these things to be true and knowing the desperate, depraved condition in which Adam's fall has plunged all mankind, I believe, preach, and insist upon one solemn certain fact– "SALVATION IS OF THE LORD." Let every son of Adam who reads these words come (like the leper in Matthew ch. 8) to Christ and worship Him, saying, "LO...

"...Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." - I Corinthians 1:30 [KJV] What a sweet subject for my morning meditation is here! Who is it, my soul, is made of God to thee these precious things but Jesus? And mark how they are made so. I am a poor ignorant creature, grossly ignorant by reason of the fall. I knew not my lost estate, much less the way of recovery. Here Jesus became to me wisdom. By His illuminating the darkness of my mind, He led me to see my ruin and my misery. But this would never have brought me out of it; for though I saw my lost estate, yet still I had no consciousness by what means I could be recovered. Here again Jesus came to my aid, and taught me, that as I needed righteousness, He would be my righteousness, and undertake for me to God. But even after this was done, I felt my soul still the subject of sin; and how to subdue a single sin I knew not. Here Jesus came again, and gave me to see, that as H...
