Hi, John... I was thinking about this again today. Just sharing a few of my thoughts: I was reminded that Charles Spurgeon once wrote, "Biblical truth is like the pinnacle of a steep, slippery mountain. One step away, you find yourself on the downgrade. Once a church or individual Christian gets on the downgrade, momentum takes over. Recovery is unusual and only happens when Christians get on the 'up-line' through spiritual revival." He wrote elsewhere, "If we do believe in the inspiration of Scripture, the Fall, and the great sacrifice of Christ for sin, it behooves us to see that we do not become accomplices with those who teach another gospel." Today we have people affirming the inspiration of the Scripture, claiming sola scriptura, but still insisting on some additional kind of light and even denying the doctrine of the necessity of Scripture. They speak of the Fall, nevertheless, they speak in terms of ignorance and illness, instead of the inability of the dead. They talk of the cross, while draining the graciousness from the gospel, rendering the work of Christ of no effect. Let us pray that our merciful and gracious God will bring spiritual revival. Certainly the hubris we see in others we have had in ourselves. So we beg of the Lord that He would show the same mercy to others that He has shown us. Further that He will continue to show mercy to ourselves, that the gospel might not be hindered. (1 Corinthians 9:12) In Him, Doc |

hello Brother! So true, and more wise words to keep in our heart. It does seem so hard to pull them back. But I am reminded of the prodigal son, If they are truly His, the good shepherd will get them out of the pigpen, and bring them home. I was listening to sermon today and he was saying how so many Christians, like to hang around the edge of the cliff instead of running as far from it as they can, and to Jesus, and the Cross. Thanks doc. God bless. John P.S. Having a problem enrolling at setting captives free? Can you help? |
