The Central Message Of The Bible
God administers a grace unto creation which extends to the entire human race. He also administers a grace unto salvation which extends only to the elect. This grace unto salvation is identified in the Bible as the gospel. The gospel has three branches: (1) The electing love of God the Father; (2) The redeeming grace of God the Son; (3) The sanctifying power of God the Spirit. Saving faith and godly repentance are graces of Christ which are given as the result of the new birth, and therefore are privileges to be exercised by the regenerate, rather than duties to be imposed upon the unregenerate. To meet this need, I have started preparing online worship services. While the alone and isolated believer should find encouragement…

House Churches And The Expediency Of Online Services
There are many of the Lord's people who are "scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd." Some are alone and isolated. Others live near each other, but cannot find a local church to join. In time, these poor dejected souls become accustomed to their deprivation of church life, landing them in a dry and thirsty land, surviving on "locusts and scratching the earth for water." To meet this need, I have started preparing online worship services. While the alone and isolated believer should find encouragement and edification through this provision, it is hoped those believers who live near each other will be prompted to organize themselves into a new church. Where two or three of the Lord's people are gathered together in…

The Origins Of The Particular And The Reformed Baptists
This question was recently put to me by a friend: ”Jared are you on the same side with Sam Renihan and his father on the issue of origins of Particular Baptists and Reformed Baptists?” My answer (with a few additions for the sake of clarity): No, we certainly would not be in agreement with the Reformed Baptists’ view on these matters. The reformed Baptist movement began in England during the 1950’s, taking over historic Particular Baptist churches and ‘unreforming’ them to align with their teachings. The group of Particular Baptist churches they commandeered belonged to the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches (London). The church that I pastored for twenty years was

Monergism.com On Hyper-Calvinism
Monergism.com is a “free and comprehensive online library dedicated to equipping believers with the riches of Reformed Christian theology…through a curated collection of classic and contemporary resources, Monergism.com serves as a hub for those seeking to grow in their knowledge of God, embrace the historic Christian faith, and apply biblical truths to all areas of life.” One would hope, therefore, that the materials provided on the site would offer a fair and accurate account of topics, namely, that of Hyper-Calvinism. Monergism.com would have done well to consult Hyper-Calvinists before outlining a set of their representative beliefs. If so, they could have condensed the list to three items. Hyper-Calvinists believe: (1) Saving faith is the result of regenerating grace, and only those who have been brought…

Expository Notes On Psalm 37:1-7: Keeping The Boundary
Notes On The Structure 1. It is believed David wrote the Psalm a few years before his death—“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Ps 37:25) Upon reflection in his old age, he explored the question, Why does God allow the wicked to prosper while leaving His people in difficult circumstances? 2. Within the first seven verses, David gives a twofold description of the problem (1,2 and 7b) with a single statement on a prescribed solution (3-7a). 3. The problem (1,2 and 7b) is not the prosperity of the wicked, but the discontentment and covetousness of the Lord’s people. David points out the obvious—the prosperity of the wicked is short-lived.

15 Popular Misconceptions About The Church
I’d like to welcome you back for another study in the Word of God. We continue our series of studies on the biblical covenants. And if you remember from our previous study, I began to tackle a subject which is shrouded with confusion. It's the meaning and distinctions of three biblical terms—the elect, Israel and the church. I'd like to speak to you in this study on the subject of Israel and the church.
