Dispensations Of God’s Grace
The masterplan of God for the ages may be reduced to the administration of His grace towards the members of the human race. There is a common grace unto creation which extends to all people (elect and non-elect). There is also a special grace unto salvation which extends only to the elect. Henceforth, every person is a dispensation of God's grace, either under the authority of the covenant of works, and therefore the recipient of God's common grace unto creation, or under the authority of the covenant of grace, and therefore the recipient of God's special grace unto salvation. These spiritual and perpetual covenants must be distinguished from the earthly and temporary covenants, such as that which God made with Noah, Abraham, Moses and David.…

38 Bible Doctrine – Confessional Statements And Their Proper Use
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous two studies, I have given a historic and doctrinal overview of John Gill’s Goat Yard Declaration of Faith. And then, towards the end of our last study, I pointed out some of the major differences between the 1689 Confession and the 1729 Declaration. In a nutshell, the 1689 Confession is representative of 17th century Hyper-Calvinism, whereas the 1729 Declaration is representative of 18th century Hyper-Calvinism. More specifically, 17th century Hyper-Calvinism, represented by the 1689 Confession, is based on a threefold covenantal framework, pushing to the forefront a conditional covenant of grace. Forthwith, saving faith is viewed as a legal duty imposed upon unregenerate sinners, resulting in a conditional salvation;…

Confessional Statements And Their Proper Use
Confessional Statements have become increasingly more popular since the rise of the Reformed Baptist Movement. So much so, that many anoint the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession Of Faith with sacerdotal unction. Few believers are aware of the differences between the 17th century Particular Baptist confessions and the 18th Century Particular Baptist confessions. In this study, a comparison is made between the 1689 Confession and the 1729 Declaration (John Gill's Goat Yard Confession). Guidance is given also on the proper use of confessional statements in general.

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 Life And Influence Of Joseph Philpot
We do not need anything to remind us that it is a twelvemonth since our late friend and editor departed this life. The fact is brought most painfully to our mind every month, and almost every day of the month; certainly for twenty days in the month. But in turning over a hill of papers, we were reminded more strongly than usual by coming upon the following letters. They may be by some thought to be out of date; but they are not out of date with us, and will, we doubt not, be read with interest by many.
