James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries writes at
Reformed Baptist Fellowship:
Jesus explains that He has come for a purpose, and it is not what you normally hear about during the 14th verse of Just As I Am. He has come for judgment, and the judgment involves sight.
John has been working over this point from the [...]

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, [...]

Alan Kurschner at Alpha and Omega Ministries gives a nice break down of this controversial verse.
There is no wiggle room for the Arminian claim that the sins of everyone without distinction has been propitiated in Christ. At best, when the Arminian proposes such, he becomes an inconsistent universalist.
Let me direct you to another piece that [...]

What is Faith?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
So starts the author’s definition of faith. But why is this discussion ensuing? The author has labored long in demonstrating the perfection of the covenantal arrangement, and now we find him here. Why?
Could it be that the comfort [...]

John Owen helps us to understand that the Holy Spirit goes before the Word to regenerate:
This work of regeneration is not preached to the will and so it not resisted by the will, but it works effectively on the will, wonderfully renewing it.
The Holy Spirit is the sole efficacious agent in regeneration so that it [...]

The writer of Hebrew makes his next transition with a leap into the necessary gracing of faith. Faith he says has substance so let’s read what Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield means when he says that faith is given only to those who are chosen by God to receive it. Along with that contemplate: since without faith [...]

I have spoken about issues surrounding the Element Church in Cheyenne, a Perfectionist Wesleyan Holiness church. And I also questioned why they hide who they are under the guise of an emergent style church. Recently they have started a new series called One Prayer where they bastardize John 17 so as to use it, I [...]

THE MAIN POINT
It is nice of the author of Hebrews to announce the thesis focus of this tome he is writing.
THE MAIN POINT
No doubt, the thing that Chapter One began to speak on, this last revelation, the final authority, the One, is now the feature article central to the whole book, the reason it is [...]

James White writes in a piece titled Was Anyone Saved at the Cross? concerning the intecessory work of Christ:
Christ’s atoning death is clearly connected with His advocacy before the Father. Therefore, we can see the following truths:
1) It is impossible that the Son would not intercede for everyone for whom He died. If [...]

He is unique and perfectly fitted.
In selecting the right pair of shoes, one thing we all sorely come to know is that when the sign says “One Size Fits All” they don’t.
The writer of Hebrews begins fitting the sacrifice by sizing him up. He tells us that for the final time, the eschatological fulfillment, the [...]
