A mind - jarring, searching recovery of the biblical doctrine of Salvation. Shockingly reveals the problems spawned by defining
A rich nugget, packed with foundational doctrinal truth, lies largely unnoticed, almost inci- dental, it would seem, in the first verse of the eleventh chapter of Hosea: "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my
The present day church and ministry allegorically pictured in the life of Saul, first king of Israel. A biting indictment of unbelief
With biblical forceps, this book extracts all the teeth out of neo-pentecostalism. "The author has a keen insight into our great biblical teaching about which many people have become con fused. To read this book will give you a new insight to a truth that will transform your life and church. I heartily recommend it." Dr. Jaroy Weber, President, Southern Baptist Convention (1974-1976)."How did you come to begin writing books?" "Why do you write on such controversial subjects?" These are two questions that are often asked me. The answer to both these questions is one: My writings have been called forth by the appearance of a pressing need during the course of my preaching ministry. God's people desperately need help in some areas. A man can be in only one place at a time; books can be everywhere at the same time. A sermon can be heard only as it is being preached; but a book can be read and referred to over and over again. Preaching must be listened to at the time it is happening, but books can be picked up at needed occasions. A man has to be prepared for a message; and very few of any listening audience are prepared at the time of delivery.As for the controversial nature of my books, I see no need of writing on anything else. If it is necessary, then it must be controversial. If it is unneces- sary, then there can be only one reason for writing: Entertainment and to make money. If a man is going to write for this reason, he should write in some other field than religion.We yearn for the edification of saints. "I have great conflict for you" (Col. 2:1); "We desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding" (Col. 1:9); We warn "lest any man should beguile you with enticing words." These are the emotions wrought by the Holy Spirit in the holy men who wrote the epistles, and they ought to be the motivations of any man who has anything to say to the people of God in his time.Most of what is preached today as faith is nothing more than promotion, carnal desire, egotistical ambition, presumption or outright unbelief. Read this startling, yet richly rewarding recovery of true biblical faith. "I highly recommend this book." Jon Zens, Baptist Reformation Review. | ||||||
