How to Know if Your Are Saved

Listen Church, the proof of justification is not an act or action, a prayer, or a decision. The proof of justification is the presence of sanctification. If there is no evidence of sanctification then there is no promise of justification- (Gregg Metcalf)

More Symbolism over Substance

I realize I am in the absolute minority here, but first of all Christ is not on the cross, He is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Second, God (at least from Scripture) seems to have no desire nor purpose in "saving this nation."

Third, God only has a covenant and unique relationship with one nation, Israel, not America.

Fourth, prior to His return to earth, evil men are going to wax or grow worse and worse.

 Fifth, God has given mankind and this nation over to a reprobate mind, this reprobate or depraved mind has ascended into the White House and the Supreme Court.

Sixth, even in God's providence and sovereignty there is no going back for this nation. We need to grieve for the sin of man in this nation, work while it is yet light in preaching the gospel. There is coming a time when no man can work.

Seventh, in regards to the original caption, "What A Powerful Picture," I do not find it powerful but repugnant.

New Series Starting Sunday!

We finished the second major section of Romans this past Sunday by taking a close look at justification from Romans 3:20. We have spent a number of weeks in Romans 1:18-3:20 looking at the Perversion of Righteousness.

Our next section will be Romans 3:21-5:21 entitled the Provision of Righteousness. Hope you will join us for that study.

In the meantime we have decided to take a little break from Romans. Beginning this Lord's Day, September 6, 2015 we are starting a new series about Heaven. It is called Heaven: Setting Our Hearts & Settling Our Hope on Home.

Come join us for this approximately 8 week series on our future home. We will save you a place at 10:30 AM in north Kelso!

There is no message to post for today's Sunday in the Study. Last week services were cancelled due to illness. Therefore the posted message from last week was preached this morning.

In the mean time, here is one of the very few recorded messages that I have access to. I hope it will be of some blessing to you.

It is called The Testing of Personal Faith (Part 2) and it is from July 6, 2003 and was preached at the Living Water Community Church of Vancouver, WA in the Sunday Morning Service.
