We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Jonathan Edwards was a zealous pastor who never forgot for a moment that his own family was a part of that flock, and that he had been appointed to be a shepherd to these sheep also, those within his own fold. He was ever concerned for the salvation of the souls of men, all men, not overlooking those closest to him. He never for one moment assumed that his own children were of the elect. George Perry Norris describes him as a “tender brooding parent.”

We say we want revival…but on our terms. Sadly, we pray: 1. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You promise in advance to do things the way we have always done them in our church.” 2. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if I have some sort of prior guarantee that when You show up you won’t embarrass me.” 3. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if Your work of revival is one that I can still control, one that preserves intact the traditions with which I am comfortable.” 4. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if Your work of revival is neat and tidy and dignified and understandable and above all else socially acceptable.” 5. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You plan to change others; only if You make them to be like me; only if You convict their hearts so they will live and dress and talk like I do.” 6. “Come Holy Spirit…but only if You let us preserve our distinctives and retain our differences from others whom we find offensive.”

    Is It Heresy

    QUESTION: Is it “heresy” to believe that the King James Bible is perfect?

    ANSWER: No.

    EXPLANATION: It is amusing yet appalling that a King James Bible believer, who BELIEVES the Bible to be inerrant, is called a “heretic” by people who claim to believe that the Bible is inerrant.

    “Heresy,” according to Webster, is “an opinion or doctrine contrary to the truth or to generally accepted beliefs.”

    It is “generally accepted” that the Bible is the perfect word of God. I have often told people, “I don’t believe that the King James Bible is the inerrant word of God. I believe that the BIBLE is the inerrant word of God. But if you ask me to give you a copy of that Bible, I’ll hand you a King James Bible.”

    Critics of the King James Bible believe that the “Bible” is the inerrant word of God. BUT, ask them to hand you a copy of that inerrant Bible that they “believe” in, and you will find that it doesn’t exist anywhere on this earth!

    We King James Bible believers simply believe what they CLAIM to believe. And for that we are called “heretics.”

    Actually the “heretic” label is designed more to scare young adherents away from the inerrant Bible, than to honestly define the name callers’ feelings. It is hoped by the Bible critic that the fear of being labeled a “heretic” will discourage zealous Christians from REALLY believing what Bible critics claim to believe.

    In fact, if it is “generally accepted by fundamentalists that the Bible is the inerrant word of God” and the Bible critic can find a mistake in every Bible that you put in his hand, then…who really is the heretic?
