Praising God for 90 Years

Submitted by Matt Costella on Apr, 19, 2018

April 17, 2018, marked the 90th anniversary of the Fundamental Evangelistic Association. As we look back over 90 years of service for Jesus Christ, we can truly shout forth the words of the psalmist from the depths of our hearts: “Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever” (Psa. 106:1). Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, and today, and forever, has not only blessed the Fundamental Evangelistic Association throughout its 90-year history, but has also abundantly provided above all that we could ever ask or think.

Another Gospel

Submitted by Matt Costella on Apr, 12, 2018

By Rev. C. F. Sheldon

In the Galatian letter, the apostle Paul uses strong language with reference to those who preach a perverted gospel. Paul's name for the gospel committed to him is: "The gospel of the grace of God." It is important that we know the truth, in so far as it is possible, of this great fact; that grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. This gospel of grace is our gospel. It is all that we have to preach; and in such measure as we fail to understand the grace of God, we shall fail to be effective preachers.

The Necessity of Dogma

Submitted by Matt Costella on Apr, 05, 2018

Character, creed, and conduct are closely related and interdependent. Character is what a man is, creed what he believes, conduct what he does. Creed is usually the outcome of character. Badness or goodness is the make-weight of intellectual opinion. The magnetic needle is disturbed by the iron in the vessel beneath it. Doctrinal preaching is sometimes disparaged. Ethical preaching is preferred. Doctrine is simply teaching, and people are always suffering and perishing for lack of knowledge. Ethics is simply the logical result in conduct of believing certain doctrines.

Resurrection Realities

Submitted by Matt Costella on Mar, 27, 2018

Resurrection in the Old Testament—Our Lord shows that hope of resur­rection was known to Old Testament saints. When talking with the Sadducees, who denied that there ever would be a resurrection, He quotes what is found in Moses’ account of the burning bush where Jehovah is called “the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Because “He is not the God of the dead,” and because these patriarchs are now dead, they must live again or Jehovah could not be called their God.

Time: Life's Most Valuable Commodity

Submitted by Matt Costella on Mar, 20, 2018

What, exactly, is “time”? Man has never yet technically answered this question despite thousands of years of reflection upon the definition and nature of time. John Wesley defined time as “a fragment of eternity broken off at both ends.” This definition is appropriate because it recognizes not only the confines of the past, present, and future but also the reality of eternity.
