I enjoy reading your articles over the web every morning. Thank you for your inspirational sermons on Grace. Christians are often confused about good works and our faith, but they need not be. Faith and good works are the evidence, not the basis of the Christian's salvation. I would like to say that your site embodies the thinking that nothing in the world can be properly realized and understood unless it is understood in terms of God's divine design and sovereign plan.

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away." -Psalm 1:1

    To Stephon Lawrence. It is not the Reformed view that forbids homosexuality, it is the BIBLE! Only obedience to Christ and His Gospel will save you from hell. That implies faith and repentance from all known sin, including a "gay-lifestyle".

    Just surfed in and I don't agree with your Reformed view of the gay lifestyle as sin. Gay people who love their partner in a deep, meaningful and loving relationship makes the gay lifestyle acceptable. Paul repeatedly tell us that we are no longer under the law? I believe he said that the old Law was crucified and called it an old schoolmaster. (Gal 3:23-25, Rom 6:14-15, Rom 7:6). Paul seems to repeatedly say that there is no salvation under the law, an argument he continually had with his Jewish brothers. So just think on these things.

    Not happy with your no sex before marriage policy. You don't really expect anyone to actually refrain from sex do you? Wouldn't it be more Christian to preach that teens practice safe sex, and only with someone they love? It's unrealistic and legalistic to think teens will refrain from sex. Better to preach moderation than to preach in vain.

 

Reply:     Actually, it's not my "no sex before marriage policy," it's what's written in God's law. And you're certainly not alone in your displeasure with it. Nor in your belief that premarital sex is an unconquerable urge that should be managed rather than witnessed against. It has always been the nature of man (Proverbs 12:15) to justify whatever "seems" right in his own eyes, rather than follow the counsel of God. To specifically answer your question, NO, it most certainly would not be "more Christian" to preach that teens should practice safe sex, but it would be "more Palatable" to those who prefer to compromise and concede rather than fight the good fight that Christians are called upon to fight. And to imply that it is impractical for people to abstain from sex before marriage is post-modern humanistic propaganda, which not only invalidates God's law, but general morality and history as well. Which I'll grant, most people are perfectly willing to do to ease their conscience. But there is the faith of the saints in the testimony of Christ. You say "Better to preach moderation than to preach in vain," but for the record, no preaching in truth, is preaching in vain. -Tony Warren

    Thank God for His faithfulness in keeping His word, servants and truth. I hold to the Reformed faith and the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in the town of Grenada, Ms. I pray that more people will learn more about biblical theology and eschatology through your site. I am persuaded that God's truth will triumph gloriously in faithful servants proclaiming the truth, regardless of popularity, tradition or modern social pressures. Keep up the old works.

    Why do you all think that bikinis and short skirts are immoral? How is one supposed to swim in a robe that is down to the ankles? A lot of the old biblical rules for dress was cultural and for those people back in biblical times. Furthermore, is there a certain length when a woman's dress or skirt becomes immoral? If not it's arbitrary.
