    Some slightly quirky thoughts on sermons and revival.

    These thoughts appear to come from the pen of James Ryle ... this one seemed rather amusing and so I am providing it for our instruction and for my own amusement too. September 12 Ten Ways to Survive Dull Sermons “A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on...

    They don't believe Paul

    I've only encountered a few people who reject saint Paul's letters; some who think he was a misogynist and hence unworthy of a hearing and some who think he was a heretic to Judaism and hence not worthy of a hearing. The former are probably influenced by this century's and last century's ideas...

    Once saved always saved?

    The parables of the kingdom told by the Lord and explained by him (in some cases the explanation is in the gospels) teach the faithful not to assume that they or any other person does know who is a weed and who is wheat, a good fish suitable to eat or a fish to be thrown away, and so forth. If...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Some of them tell the world what they think they are doing but the holy scriptures, holy tradition, and the church tell us that their words are not in accord with the teaching of Christ.

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    Healing is a grace - a gift given by God - so it is not clear how or why some particular qualification is needed before it can be received unless one must earn grace ... but none of the faithful really believes that any grace is earned even if some graces do not come until others are matured in...

    whats the weather like where you live?

    'tis raining here, again, and it is 14 C but it is the early hours of the morning (05:15). I suppose 14 C isn't too cold for this time of day.

    Once saved always saved?

    The thread is about a doctrine rather than how anybody participating in it imagines life with or without some particular view of themselves.

    Once saved always saved?

    It isn't a parable but a simile with an explanation using familiar imagery. But that was not the point of my post nor is my post accusing any in this forum or elsewhere of wickedness of any kind. The purpose of my post is to show how the Lord teaches and what he teaches about the last judgement...

    Once saved always saved?

    In the last judgement (as described in Matthew 25:31-46) it is the nations that are gathered before the Lord to be judged. They are separated like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. The setting given in the first two verses (vv 31.32) helps the reader understand that humanity is not...

    Once saved always saved?

    I am inclined to think that those who proclaim "once saved always saved" really mean that they feel saved and so want to feel assured that they will in fact be saved. Feeling saved is exactly the problem with the wicked in the last judgement passage from the gospel according to saint Matthew...

    What must I do to be saved?

    A man asked saints Paul and Silas "Men, what must I do to be saved?" (Acts 16:30) and the saints replied "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.". The story is instructive, but after they gave him that short answer "they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to...
