Soul Surgery: Part 2

Part 2 of a 9-part series by Pastor Alan Redpath given over the course of 1959. The Science And Challenge Of Personal Testimony The problem we are now to consider is to distinguish between a scientific and unscientific way of carrying on this all important work of personal work for the Master. The Lord Jesus once said (Luke 16:8), “The sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of light,” and we are certainly sadly lagging behind in making the idea of conserving our resources as individuals an essential part of our Christian living. We … Read More >

The Modern Menace

Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.”—Acts 20:28–30 “Grievous Wolves” The grievous wolves spoken of by Paul in this message were in no sense the sufferings of persecution. Paul was not foolish enough to think that persecution could … Read More >

The Right Priest For A Deathbed

One evening I was crossing on the ferry-boat from Oakland to San Francisco, California, and among other passengers, I noticed a Roman Catholic priest. Going over to him I introduced myself as one seeking to present the Gospel of God to men. He was a pleasant, affable man, and we were soon engaged in a conversation on the momentous truth of justification by faith, based on the Scripture: “To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). The priest maintained that he firmly believed the Scriptural declaration, but … Read More >

Why Do You Preach A Gospel Of Works?

The question I am to answer, submitted by a listener, is as follows: “Why do you preach a gospel of works? You say an unsaved man must turn from sin, completely give himself over to Christ, and then receive Him by faith as Lord and Saviour. Please give scriptural truth.” We will take as our basis James 2:14-26. I think it is essential, judging by this question, that we make perfectly clear what the Bible teaches about saving faith in the Lord Jesus. What does it mean to be saved, to believe in Him? An interesting article appeared in an … Read More >

Treading The Old Paths

The opening address at the Mid-America Keswick Convention delivered by Dr. A.W. Tozer, pastor of Christian and Missionary Alliance Church of Chicago. It has happened many times over the centuries that the church has become so preoccupied with certain vital truths that she has for a time lost sight of other truths fully as important and has allowed them to fall into desuetude and be for all practical purposes wholly lost to the people of God. This has happened in the immediate historic period through which we have just come and the tragic results are now quite apparent. It would … Read More >

Should Protestantism Be Liquidated?

I want to read from the second chapter of the epistle to the Galatians, beginning with verse 11: “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,” (Now the apostle Paul is speaking and he is speaking of a protest that he made to a fellow apostle, the apostle Peter) “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. “For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were … Read More >

False Theories

I want to talk to you from 1 Peter 2:24, “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed.” In another place in the Scripture it says, “He became sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” If that isn’t a clear statement of substituted life then I don’t know a clear statement when I see one. He absolutely takes my sins and in His own body deals with them … Read More >

The Virgin Birth: Myth or Mystery

Do you have secular friends? Or perhaps you have a child or grandchild in college who is inundated with secular theories that attempt to reduce Christianity to just one more among the many religions of the world. I write this article for them and for us, so that we might remember Jesus is not just one man among others, He is unique; His is indeed “God in the flesh.” Many people believe that all religions are essentially the same and only superficially different. But no, the opposite is true: Christianity is essentially different and only superficially the same. Nowhere is … Read More >

The First Church Council

I shall read the first five verses of [Acts] chapter 15, but I want to consider with you verses 1 to 35. We shall not read it all at one time. And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. And being brought on their way … Read More >

Election And Predestination

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him.” Put the stop right there. “In love having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.” In the third verse the apostle gives thanks to “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” the source of all our blessings—“who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” And now he carries our minds back to the past eternity that … Read More >
