By God's grace, still presenting the same old message from the same old Book...

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Regarding repentance, if we are to be saved, repentance is granted to us. Our believing is the work of God, i.e., God works in us that we repent and believe. There is a general call, and there is an effectual call. Many are called but few chosen. Those that are chosen hear, and those that hear are made willing (Ps 110:3; John 6:29, 44, 45; Acts 13:48; Rom 1:16; 1Thess 1:5; 1Cor 1:18; Acts). God grants repentance, by His power we are saved, and by His power we are kept (Acts 11:18; Rom 16:25; 1Pet 1:5). As it is written, ye must be born again (John 3:7; 1Pet 1:2; 2Thess 2:13; 1John 5:1, 4) If a person is saved, their life ought to show that they love God (John 14:15; 1Cor 8:3). We love Him because he first loved us, but to the lost man that is foolishness (1John 4:19; 2Cor 2:14)

Give heed to the written word of God. Preaching authority is derived according to its agreement with the written word of God, the word given by divine authority. You might find some men that claim there is no authoritative preaching unless it is given by inheritance through their linage passed by hand from one man to another in a narrow line, by the laying on of their hands. Such a thing is foolishness. Such men speak without the blessing and authority of God. Gospel authority is derived, and not inherited. Men come with empty hands pretending to pass inherited power and think to lord over the flock that they may glory over your flesh. Shame on them. The word of God is not bound as if a certain narrow group of men alone were granted the blessing and authority of God as they preached. Search the Scriptures to see if the things spoken are so or not. The man that is saved is not saved by the wisdom of men, and the man is not saved by inheritance from any narrow sect of men, but is saved by the power of God as salvation is of the Lord (1Cor 1:17, 20, 21; 2:4, 13; 2Cor 1:12).

Wait on the Lord. Be patient. Bible doctrine is doctrine which is according to godliness (1Tim 6:3). The Bible speaks of sin being exceeding sinful (Rom 7:13).

Galatians 6.7-8; John 8.36; 1 John 2.17; 1 John 1.9; 1 John 2.1; Hebrews 7.25; Proverbs 28.13

God hates sin. We ought to hate every false way. (Ps 119:104, 128; Rom 7:13)

A message of comfort from the Scriptures,
that we through patience and comfort
of the scriptures might have hope.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God,
and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
Psalms 66:16
