Ehesians – by Martin Lloyd Jones

“But God… These two words, in and of themselves, in a sense contain the whole of the gospel. The gospel tells of what God has done, God’s intervention; it is something that comes entirely from outside us and displays to us that wondrous and amazing and astonishing work of God.”

“If I believe this message, from now on I am not going to pin my hopes, nor rest my affections finally on anything in this world. The natural man does so, of course; he pins his hopes on this world and its mind, its outlook, its statesmen, its mentality, its pleasures, its joys. He lives for it, and all his hopes are centred here, his affections are here. Not so the Christian. The Christian, having been given to see that this world is doomed, that it is under the wrath of God, has fled from ‘the wrath to come.’ He has believed the gospel, he has entered this other kingdom, and his hopes and affections are set there now, not here.”

“(The Christian knows) that a day is coming when even this present sinful world shall be entirely redeemed, and there ‘shall be new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.’ The Christian can look forward to this, that he, some glorious day in the future, when his very body shall be renewed and glorified, when it shall no longer be weak, when it shall be no longer subject to sickness and old age and disease, when it will be a glorified body like that of the risen Christ—he knows that he in this glorified body shall even walk the face of this very earth, out of which evil and sin and vileness shall have been burned by the fire of God. He will dwell in a perfect world, of which the Lamb, the Son of God, is the Light and the Sun, The Brightness and the Glory, and he shall enjoy it forever and ever. That is what the Christian message, the Christian faith has to say to this wretched, distracted, unhappy, confused, frustrated, modern world. It is all the outcome of these essential doctrines which can be learned only in this book which is God’s word. There is the world!-‘But God…’”

What is Pelagianism and why should we be concerned about it in the time we are living

  • The Pelagian Captivity of the Church

    by: R. C. Sproul. (borrowed from an article that was once available on www.modernreformation.org). Shortly after the Reformation began, in the first few years after Martin Luther posted the Ninety-Five Theses on the church door at Wittenberg, he issued some short booklets on a variety of subjects. One of the most provocative was titled The…

  • Pelagianism and the modern church

    By Dr RC Sproul. The rivals of the early church Augustine and Pelagius began the debate over the depravity of man. “It is Augustine who gave us the Reformation.” So wrote B. B. Warfield in his assessment of the influence of Augustine on church history. It is not only that Luther was an Augustinian monk,…

What is Worship ?

G Campbell Morgan once asked What is worship? and remarked: The essential and simple meaning of the word, and therefore the fundamental thought is that of prostration, of bowing down. Worship suggests that attitude which recognizes the throne… It is a word full of force, which constrains us, and compels us to the attitude of reverence.
The Westminster Pulpit, VOl 2 (Flemming H Revell Company) p.90

Many of the Lord’s people are growing tired with the superficial and silly innovations that have been substituted for the worship of God. Let Pastor Bob Dickey (Berean Baptist Church, Grand Blanc, Mi, USA) direct us to the clearest example of worship in the Scriptures in this four messages.

Strange Lyre: The Pentecostalization of Evangelical Worship – By David de Bruyn

David de Bruyn demonstrates that Pentecostal worship has a matrix of distinctives that is a clear break from historic, Protestant worship, or even the worship that preceded it, and that these distinctives have infiltrated much of evangelical worship today.

It’s Not About the Music: A Journey Into Worship – Dan Lucarini (a former contemporary worship leader)

The above authors all have important insights on worship and may draw the line at sligtly different points but for me Alex, Songs old and new like the following fill my heart with joy and adoration for my Saviour and I can joyfully sing along. I can hear the words, The music is soft and reverend and carry the words and fit the words. The words are deep and God glorifying and easy to sing. Some modern songs only professionals can sing. I love singing these hymns: There is a redeemer, And can it be, How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus, Years I spent, My hope is built, When I survey, Rock of ages, Amazing Grace, God moves in mysterious ways, Trust and obey, It is well with my soul. And of course I love the Afrikaans versions of all of these and more.

Martin se laaste preek op aarde in die Montana Baptiste kerkplant in Pretoria op Kersdag Sondag 25/12/2011-Jesus wat van sondes verlos Matt 1v21 (Kliek) slegs 6 dae voor sy heengaan om met Christus te wees op 31 Desember 2011. Hy was reeds so swak en siek dat hy die hele diens gesit het en preek. Maar kragtig getuig hy van Christus wat gekom het om sy volk wat Hy uitverkies het, van hulle sonde te verlos. Jesus het gesterf vir n sondaar soos jy!

‘n terugblik op die Lewe en werk van Nico van der Walt

Nico en Martin Holdt was goeie vriende en het dikwels saam die Woord bedien op verskillende platforms. Beide was gereformeerd en het die 1689 Baptiste Belydenis van Geloof onderskryf en beide het gestaan by die Vyf Solas van die Reformaseie en soos Paulus het hulle hul “voorgeneem om niks anders onder julle te weet nie as Jesus Christus, en Hom as gekruisigde.” (1 Kor 2:2)

William Still a faithfull pastor with a fruitful ministry said the following at a Baptist Ministers fellowship meeting in1960

My brothers, I would like to speak to you about the ageless things of our Christian faith, which evangelical fashions, just as much as any other fashions in Christendom, are likely to cloud over and conceal, to the detriment of the Church of our day, to the decline of its true nature and growth, and to the failure of its impact upon the nation and nations, and the loss of its preservative and cleansing power in the society of men.

English Sermons

The pastor is called to feed the sheep, even if the sheep do not want to be fed. He is certainly not to become an entertainer of goats. Let goats entertain goats, and let them do it out in goatland. You will certainly not turn goats into sheep by pandering to their goatishness. Do we really believe that the Word of God, by His Spirit, changes, as well as maddens men? If we do, to be evangelists and pastors, feeders of sheep, we must be men of the Word of God….. The work of the Pastor – William Still
