Spring 2017 Issue – The Divine Design of the Family

Comments 0 Comment

The spring 2017 issue is printed and available! “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” (Ps. 127:1). Broken homes mar the family landscape of the modern day. The results are frequently broken hearts, damaged lives, and endangered souls. This tragedy is the result of turning away from God’s word, and seeking to build and sustain families based on man’s philosophy. As the Psalmist said long ago – such an endeavor is vanity. This issue of…

Author: John P. Koster, Jr. Publisher: Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers, Inc Originally Published: 1989 ISBN: 0-943497-33-7 The past two centuries have seen advancements in science that surpass everything achieved in all of man’s previous existence.  Unfortunately, some forms of “science” that are so celebrated today are really nothing of the sort.  In the media, on the campus, and in many other places, Christians who believe in God (and especially Christian’s who believe in Creation) are mocked and viewed as backwards,…

If Others Followed You…

In Philippians 3:17, Paul encouraged the brethren to be “followers together of me” and to “mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.”  When the Apostle Paul told the Philippian brethren to “follow” him, he also instructed them to first make sure he was worthy of being followed. It was not that the apostle thought highly of himself or of his service. In fact, he was quick to point out in a later writing that he…

Does Genesis 6:5 Teach Total Hereditary Depravity?

Comments 0 Comment

Genesis 6:5 says, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Those who teach the doctrine of Total Hereditary Depravity cite several Bible passages which they allege support their doctrine. The purpose of this article is to review one such passage—Genesis 6:5—to determine if it supports the notion of Total Hereditary Depravity.

Baptism, Acts 15, and John MacArthur

Baptism, Acts 15, and John MacArthur

Comments 0 Comment

John MacArthur, of Grace to You, has reasoned incorrectly against baptism’s necessity for salvation on the basis of Acts 15. In his article, “Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation,” he says such texts as Acts 15 and Romans 4 show “no external act is necessary for salvation,” and that “salvation is by divine grace through faith alone.”

Are there Errors in the New Testament?

Are there Errors in the New Testament?

Comments 0 Comment

It is common to hear people say there are errors in the New Testament. They argue that in the centuries before the printing press (invented AD 1438), those who copied the scriptures by hand made many mistakes. First, a person would copy, say, the book of Matthew from an earlier copy and make mistakes in the process. Later, when someone else used the second copy to make another copy, not only would the previous mistakes be copied, but new mistakes…

McGarvey Publisher: DeWard Publishing Company Published: 2009 – Originally published as individual essays in The Christian Standard in 1895 and collectively by Standard Publishing in 1896. ISBN: 978-0-9819703-2-5 It comes as no surprise when atheists and agnostics deny the miraculous events recorded in the Bible. When professing Christians deny such events, however, it is quite alarming. Unfortunately, there are many who consider themselves scholars and theologians that work very hard to discredit the miraculous in the Bible’s narrative….
