New Testament Church

“He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand?” Isaiah, xliv. 20. Of some diseases, and those not the least dangerous, it is a distinguishing characteristic, that the aihng fancy themselves in health, and resent, as rudeness and unkindness, an attempt to undeceive them. This is especially observable in the worst family of diseases to which our compound frame is liable, — those that affect the mind. It is proverbial, that insanity cannot know itself, and sees nothing but insanity in the pity ...

"BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS, NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY; BUT BY MANIFESTATION OF THE TRUTH, COMMENDING OURSELVES TO EVERY MAN’S CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD." 2 CORINTHIANS 4:2 In the preceding chapter the apostle is describing the excellency of the gospel. He compares it with the law; and though he allows that was glorious, yet he asserts that the gospel exceeds in glory. This is the glorious gospel which was committed to Paul and the other apostles. Hence he begins this chapter in the manner he does: "Therefore seeing we...

IN his inmost heart every man seeks good and loves God. But God is great, and man is small; good is complex, while passion is simple and insistent. Hence all men forsake the good, and disobey God. This, in the concept form of philosophy, is the truth contained in the historical-pictorial representation that Adam was created holy, and subsequently fell. External quest of goods less than the best is easily forgivable: internal habits of hugging self and pushing God and the good away, though harder to eradicate, are still forgivable. Only the confirmed perversity that hates and despises ...

I WOULD like to make this letter to you a short and joyous sermon. My text contains only two words, but I believe them to be the sweetest two words that human ear ever heard. They are: “Thou shalt.” It is the old way of saying you must. I presume you do not at all like “must,” but I want to tell you that everything depends upon how, or where, the “must” is used. Some words are sweet or bitter, according to how they are employed. The word “must” is generally used in trying to compel one to do something that he dislikes; but sometimes it is employed to encourage a person to ...

What would you think of one who should build a beautiful house and then destroy it, or paint a lovely picture and then tear it to pieces? Have you never thought that this is the way God is doing? He makes, to destroy. Nothing seems to long remain the same. He clothes the trees with leaves, but within a few months strips them off. He makes the tiny bud and develops it into the beautiful flower, but the flower is no sooner in bloom than it begins to wither and fade. It seems to be so with everything in nature. It starts out, grows in beauty, and then is destroyed. Why should such loveliness ...

Is gospel Christianity dead? Pundits are writing the obituary of historic, orthodox Christianity, but pastor and author J. D. Greear (Gospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The church is not going away. Along with this promise, Jesus gave clear instructions for how the church would prevail. He promised to build it on the rock of the gospel.

Discipleship redeemed is an apologetic addressing widespread disillusion that many churches hold with respect to Christ's method of multiplying his ministry at the end of his earthly ministry.
