A Short Catechism On Religious Fasting

A Short Catechism On Religious Fasting

Greg L. Price

 

I. Question: What is religious fasting?

 

Answer:

 

Religious fasting is denying the natural appetite for food from a true conviction of its warrant in Scripture and with a view to one’s glorifying God by the crucifixion of sin and enjoyment of mercy on the grounds of the merit of Jesus Christ alone.

 

1. It is either the complete denial of food for a period of time (2 Samuel 12:16) or it is the… Continue reading

Wine! Its In The Bible

Wine! Its In The Bible

by Stan Schirmacher 

 

Only eternity will reveal how many people have been misled by their ignorance and misunderstanding of the word “wine” in the Bible! Unbelievers and drinkers have wielded a whip tipped with scriptures and Christians have allowed the whip to continue to snap, because they don’t know how to clip the point – not understanding that the message is against liquor, not for it! 

 

Take Christ’s first miracle, the turning of… Continue reading

The Christian And The Film Arts

Have we as true believers in Christ become as weak, useless and comical in the eyes of the world as the Sponge Bob cartoon character?  Do we take a stand for righteousness and proclaim God’s word or do we buy the world’s lie that to speak up for what is right and speak out against what is wrong is to be “judgmental”?   Does not God command his people to take a stand for His holiness? Should we live… Continue reading

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12). God speaks of man kindly, but severely; as one yearning over a lost child, yet as one who will make no terms with sin, and will "by no means clear the guilty." <continued>
