There are...Anyhoo, getting back to Spurgeon, amen. There are no new heresies under the sun! We are viscerally inclined to evil (Deuteronomy 31:21; Romans 3:10-18), and our righteousness is but filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). How did those "new" and "innovative" approaches at worshipping God on our own terms work out for the Babelites with their tower and the Israelites with their golden calf?<BR/><BR/>3500 years ago, God decreed that of the entire generation He had miraculously delivered out of Egypt—even Moses, and except for Joshua and Caleb—not a single one would not set foot in the Promised Land due to their stubborn grumbling and complaining, despite the divine Grace that they had witnessed and been the beneficiaries of. 3000 years ago, David wrote in Psalms 14 and 53, "There is <B><I>none</B></I> who does good, <B><I>not even one</B></I>." There is <B><I>nothing</B></I> that <B><I>any</B></I> of us we can do to purify ourselves before a holy God who cannot abide sin. 2000 years ago, Paul quoted those psalms in his letter to the Romans (3:10-18). Our plight was set out over 2000 years ago—nothing has changed since then.<BR/><BR/>There has only been one other constant that is relevant to us, beside man's utter depravity: God's redeeming Grace. We stand condemned by His holy Law, and there is nothing we can do to save ourselves, but entrust ourselves to the Lord and learn to rely wholly upon His grace that we don't deserve, our sins paid for by the Lamb, Jesus Christ, the Son of God whom God gave so that we could have eternal life.Stefan Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530690016594029847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-16208931182632941802007-10-07T16:39:00.000-07:002007-10-07T16:39:00.000-07:00I wish we could actually -ban- people, and that we...I wish we could actually -ban- people, and that we had an active list of who has been banned just for personal reference.<BR/><BR/>I'm just sayin'.

We don't ban people merely for expressing dissenting (even hostile) opinions. Disagree as strongly as you like—and as long as you refain from profanity, blasphemy, or gross and intentional discourtesies, we'll prolly let your comment stand. (Though if it's significant enough, we'll prolly answer it,too.)<BR/><BR/>2. If a comment of yours does get deleted for a rule violation and you don't reply angrily (or with additional profanity) we'll most likely forget you broke a rule in the first place. Or post an apology and we'll forget about the infraction immediately.<BR/><BR/>3 If, however, you break a rule, have your comment deleted, and respond with insults, your insults will likewise be deleted. If you persist, you will be permanently banned, joining an elite list of fewer than half a dozen people who have behaved badly enough to be banned permanently that way.<BR/><BR/>4. If that happens and you pretend to be a martyr whose only crime was "honesty" or "authenticity" in an intolerant venue, you will discredit no one but yourself.Phil Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649092052031518426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-55784177941470683422007-10-07T09:07:00.000-07:002007-10-07T09:07:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.spud tooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921322553025339949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-11410075059013347062007-10-07T06:12:00.000-07:002007-10-07T06:12:00.000-07:00Amen to the prince of preachers, and to northword ...Amen to the prince of preachers, and to northword and johnny.<BR/><BR/>Now off to worship our Savior, and to bring Him sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise for His great mercy.<BR/>Have a great Lord's day.donsandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794015011057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-27222584145443422322007-10-07T06:02:00.000-07:002007-10-07T06:02:00.000-07:00"...childish love of novelty..."Spurgeon was such ..."...childish love of novelty..."<BR/><BR/>Spurgeon was such a great wordsmith, able to capture a whole feeling or dynamic in a few, well chosen words. <BR/><BR/>Isn't this what we're seeing so much of today? Childishness, in resistance to and petulance toward authority; and novelty, in that almost anything can be spouted in church and legitimized simply because it's "new."James Scott Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641370124346172648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-57025924836076038292007-10-06T22:31:00.000-07:002007-10-06T22:31:00.000-07:00ahh, Ecc 1:10, the affixed scripture in my blog he...ahh, Ecc 1:10, the affixed scripture in my blog header, suffice it to say.<BR/><BR/>the new is never new.<BR/><BR/>In prayer, I often just sit in amazment and complete awe (and thankfulness!) at how little we really do know down here, (if there was a "down here") <BR/>my greatest impression is how minute our understanding of God really is.
