The Pillars of Christianity
The three outstanding pillars of Christianity are the miracles of the Incarnation, the Resurrection and Pentecost. Learn in this article more about the power we as Christians may enjoy because Christ is risen!
Evil Heart of Unbelief
It has been my observation that much of the church seems to be lacking something. Their Christian experience is not what they expected it would be. Victory often has recurring defeat, instead of advancement one is often losing ground. Is this all Christ meant when He said, “Come unto Me?” The Word of God says emphatically NO!…One does not need a forum to discuss, argue, debate, or strategize on the 2nd Work of Grace. We need an Altar where we can have our own personal Gethsemane (where we get alone with God) make a complete consecration of our lives to Him and plead the merits of His blood and experience the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire that will burn this damnable thing, called the Evil Heart of Unbelief, out of our Nature and be Filled with the Holy Spirit!
Christians Should Heed Biblical Call to Consecration
Leviticus is where we find God’s directions as given to His people regarding worship and rituals such as the various sacrificial offerings. One offering was unique in that the whole animal is placed on the altar and offered as a sacrifice. This part of Old Testament ritual and worship points forward to the great biblical truth of consecration.
Paul Intentionally Pursued Close Walk With Christ
Comments OffPaul’s passion to know Jesus personally supplied him with the strength that he needed to face many trials, obstacles, perils, and even persecution. God also has the power that we need for the many trying circumstances that we face. The means to experience His fortifying power comes when we consider earthly aspirations and efforts as rubbish and intentionally pursue a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ at any cost.
Holiness: A Desirable Experience and a Beautiful Life
Comments OffThere is nothing more beautiful than holiness, more attractive than purity, or more enduring than love. These are the cardinal qualities of entire sanctification.
Our Likeness in Christ
Comments OffIn Ephesians 4:1, the Apostle Paul says that we are to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” The word vocation, makes the whole of life a spiritual business. Whatever we do in order to pay our bills, provide for shelter, food, clothing, and any other necessity of life, is considered an AD-vocation. However our Vocation is to live our lives for the salvation of souls, bringing the lost back to Him and in so doing to glorify Christ. We are called to be His witnesses. The only place a witness is needed is in this present world. It has been stated that Jesus was the visible expression of the invisible Father and we, as His children, are to be the visible expression of the invisible Christ, “because as he is, so are we in this world.”
Entire Sanctification: How and When it Occurs
Comments OffAll who know anything about the nature of a holy God admit that holiness is a logical necessity for us if we live with Him in eternity. The point of controversy is, HOW and WHEN a believer is purified and made holy. In this article we examine six false theories about when and how entire sanctification takes place. Dr Perdue believes that every child of God should abandon their will to the will of God and through faith obtain this experience of grace before they become a victim of these false theories.
Forgetting and Reaching Forth
Comments OffIn Philippians 3:13, Paul gives to us the secret of spiritual development: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do; forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…”…Some people have no life at all, except in retrospect and in prospect. They always dwell on the memories of the past or the anticipation of the future while the present (from which the future flows) slips from their grasp…May in this New Year we follow Paul’s example.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit
Comments OffMy text speaks of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which must be distinguished from the birth of the Spirit. Read this article to learn the four ways in which it is different.
Entire Sanctification: A Second Work of Grace
Comments Off“We believe that Entire Sanctification is the act of God subsequent to regeneration….”…All the other theories of how and when we receive entire sanctification, (Getting it at the moment of conversion, growing into it following conversion, experiencing it at the point of death, or following death in a purgatory setting), have never produced a witness but multitudes have entered into the experience following conversion and have testified to the same and lived a victorious life thereafter.
