Love Builds Up by Rosco Brong
Let us put that into modern language: learning puffs up but love builds up.
Read MoreFollowing Holiness by Rosco Brong
“Holiness” and “sanctification” are two English words used to translate the same Greek word. The essential meaning is that of being set apart. So with the related words “holy,” “saint,” “sanctify,” and “hallow.” Any connotation of cleansing from sin is strictly coincidental.
Read MoreChrist’s Church and Baptism By Rosco Brong
Christ’s church was built upon Himself. “That Rock was… Christ.” (I Cor. 10:4.) “In the Lord Jehovah is the Rock of ages.” (Isa. 26:4, margin.)… “Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (I Cor. 3:11.) “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” (Eph. 2:19-20.)
Read MoreBetter than the Angels by Rosco Brong
The Christian’s life and hope are in Christ. This may seem to many a trite statement, but there are millions of people who call themselves Christians while in one way or another they deny the Christ of the Bible. There is no salvation in a Christ who is no more than a man, and there is no salvation in a Christ who is no more than an angel.
Read MoreThe Great Commission Credentials by Mark Fenison
If the church alone was commissioned to preserve and to preach the gospel, then it is certain no other organization has the right to preach it–to trench upon the divine rights of the church. A Masonic Lodge, no more than a Young Men’s Christian Association; an ‘Odd-fellow’ lodge or Howard Association, no more than a Woman’s Missionary Board,’ have the least right to take the gospel in hand, select and commission ministers to go forth and preach it, administer the ordinances and ORGANIZE CHURCHES.
Read MoreLectures In Biblical Theology Of The New Testament
0ur question concerns what we will be studying in this course of study in the New Testament. Biblical Theology must be distinguished from Systematic Theology, from Exegesis and Exposition, from Apologetics, and from Biblical Introduction, although it is related to all these subjects.

Read MoreDivine Order of the Sexes
There is a Divine order of the sexes. To deny this order is to deny the Bible. To deny the Bible is to plunge into the sea of human experience without any real hope of surviving. This, many are willing to do in order to be in the swim. Much of the Bible is a dead letter to the average church member. He has no more use for the Bible as the rule of faith and practice than a hog has for breeches. What a settlement many are going to have to make with God for their arrogant setting aside of His holy word as impracticable! and out of date!
Read MoreHeavenly Hope
I live on hope and that I think do all who come into this world.” Bridges. It is the writer’s observation that of all the doctrine of the Bible, the doctrine of hope has received the least attention from preachers generally and from theologians in particular. In the index of subjects in one of our largest and most popular theologies, the word hope does not appear.
