8 Golden Links To Heaven

Heaven is the center of the Christian's universe, and he is bound to it by eight golden links:

1. Our Father is there (Matthew 6:9).

2. Our Saviour is there (Hebrews 9:24).

3. Our home is there (John 14:2).

4. Our name is there (Luke 10:20).

5. Our life is there (Colossians 3:1-3).

6. Our heart is there (Matthew 6:19-21).

7. Our inheritance is there (1 Peter 1:3-5).

8. Our citizenship is there (Philippians 3:20).

-- Henry Durbanville

As the poet William Blane wrote:

Let those who know no second birth,
Labour to write their names on earth.
My joy is this, that Love divine,
On heaven's scroll hath written mine.

A Distinguishing Trait of a True New Testament Church

Image
  by Robert Gessner (1930-2014) The church is not ashamed to bear the reproach of Christ. "For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews" (1 Thess. 2:14).      It is not the name of a local church that distinguishes it as being a pattern of the New Testament. The church may have a very unique title such as "The New Testament Church of Jesus Christ" and yet it may not follow the pattern displayed in the New Testament. It is not even the creed formulated by a local church that gives it the distinction of being patterned after the New Testament. The creed, as far as it goes, may be very true to New Testament theology, and yet the church may be far from meeting in a New Testament manner. Obviously, no church would meet New Testament credentials if it did not teach the basic truths of the New Testament; however, it is not just ...

Warning: Avoid William Barclay's Writings

Image
William Barclay:  Are His Writings Dependable? by William MacDonald William Barclay is one of the most enigmatical writers on the religious scene today. At one moment he can delight you with his scintillating comments on the Scripture. Then in the next breath he will shock you with his unabashed heresy. He has a special gift of speaking out of both comers of his mouth. At first you are ready to welcome him warmly into the evangelical fold, but on further reading you begin to wonder if he accepts any of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.      It cannot be denied that he serves up vast amounts of helpful background material for the serious Bible student. And his word studies are unforgettable. But there is death in the pot! Interspersed with all that is appealing and attractive is the poiso n of modernism and of higher criticism.      If we were to use the methods of the higher critics, we could easily prove...
