Questions from listeners on this broadcast: Is there a difference between the word “Rhema” and “Logos” in meaning and interpretation? Does this difference teach us that there is a “written word” and an “inner voice” of God? Does Regeneration precede faith? If so, how do you know this according to scripture? Edward and James blog […]
Many have always argued, “No man can be confident in his salvation.” But what does the Bible teach? Is there such teaching as “once saved, always saved?” What about perseverance? Edward and James discuss this important doctrine and how the believer should understand that security is all of God, not of man.
We live in a day and age where many cults exist. Sadly, many people don't realize they are in a cult that has used the Scriptures for their own purposes and gain. Some use it for financial gain while others use it for the gain of self glory. Scripture reveals that in the redemption of […]
What is total depravity and does it render humanity totally unable? Total Depravity comes with all sorts of inferences by many in the world of “Christendom”. Sadly, few have ever considered the contextual arguments for the implication of Total Inability. James & Edward discuss why understanding that humanity is not just depraved but unable to refuse […]

There seems to be a continual misrepresentation of Scripture when people utilize single phrases out of context to build a theological truth. Sadly, many who refuse the gospel of grace hold fast to “big gun” verses that seem to prove a humanistic theology but when one looks at the actual teaching, the scoffers are left […]

Christ WILL SAVE HIS SHEEP! While it isn't popular, it is the truth. Jesus will save His sheep and NONE of them will be lost. So, when we share the faith we trust in the work of Christ alone and we can rest in the assurance that the Gospel given through the Word is life for all it is intended. We can sleep well at night knowing that when someone rejects the gospel that they are rejecting Christ and that only God can cause a hostile mind to believe!

Particular Redemption, Definite Atonement, Limited Atonement, Certain Salvation and many other terms have been utilized throughout history to describe the teaching of Scripture on the work and efficacy of Jesus Christ on the cross.

All Talents are for the Church! Mutual benefit, encouragement, upbuilding etc. is the purpose of all the gifts that the Lord has given us. We are not our own, but we have been bought with a price. In our current culture, the trends toward evangelism have spiraled out of biblical norms. We have independent teachers and self-gloried preachers who feel they are called to "do what the church is not" and thus they feel justified in their disobedience. One sure measure of a healthy congregation is that the elders who teach are equipping, by the Word of God, the saints under their care in order to do the work of the ministry. Including evangelism.
