What is the Difference Between Holiness and Legalism? (Michael L. Brown)

Holiness is beautiful; legalism is binding; holiness brings life; legalism brings death. They are as different as night and day, and yet at first glance, they can seem similar, because they both stand against sinful behavior and call for holy living. How can we distinguish between the two? Let me first present some thoughts on holiness before defining legalism and its dangers. Read the rest of this entry »

Cleanse Our Eyes! A Call to Consecration in the Area of Entertainment (Bryan Purtle)

“I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin? …. for that would be a fire that consumes…. and it would burn to the root all my increase.” -Job 31:1, 12

I understand that many would brand my faith antique and my convictions archaic for approaching this subject, but that is a minuscule risk for me to take. God is too glorious, His Gospel too precious, and the fate of our sons and daughters too much at stake for me to worry about the consequences that these themes bring. I am convinced that we have woefully underestimated the damage that is done to the world and to the Church, particularly with regard to the issue of so-called entertainment.

The Rhyme of the Modern Parishioner (Michael L. Brown)

It happened in the vestibule
At ten one Sunday morn;
A haggard-looking church-goer

Are you Willing to be Hated for Speaking the Gospel Truth? (Randy Alcorn)

When Gianna Jessen spoke at our church a few weeks ago, she said many memorable things. The one that I’ve been thinking about is that to be a follower of Christ you need to be willing to be hated.

I agree, and that’s what I want to talk about. Of course, this does NOT mean being hateful. Nor does it mean seeking to be hated. Or having a persecution complex, so you think people don’t like you because you’re following Christ, when they actually don’t like you because you’re an idiot. Read the rest of this entry »

Paralysis of Preoccupation (Leonard Ravenhill)

Caesar Augustus was having trouble with his tax income. Prices were high and armies of occupation, plus each soldier’s need of a special bonus for danger money, kept the treasury low. Caesar needed cash!

This could be part of the trouble that furrowed the brow of Herod, vassal-king in the Roman-occupied Palestine. He must channel more money to his chief. Read the rest of this entry »
