Preach The Word, Even When They Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth
In the gospel of Christ, which is “the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth,” exhortation occupies an important and large place; therefore let us consider it in the light of revelation, meekly and prayerfully. To do so understandingly and profitably, and to the glory of “Christ, we should see the scriptural relation and place of exhortation in the gospel of salvation, that we may neither undervalue nor overvalue it, and that we may see the need and true use of it. The text plainly reveals the need and use or purpose of exhortation with all long-suffering and doctrine or teaching. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.“ It was for this cause that Paul thus solemnly charged…

Trials And The Fallacy Of Time Salvation

The last ten years this strange and startling blast of trumpets has echoed and reechoed with exciting and bewildering effect, and great has been the widespread confusion and division, where peace and good will prevailed before. This dividing of salvation, and subdividing it into fragments and parts, partly eternal salvation, and partly time salvation, (as the teachers of this yea and nay gospel call it,)…
