Here is something I read by John Coloquoun that I found to be spot on.

Quote:
Although eternal life was, in the covenant of works, promised to Adam and his posterity on condition of his perfect obedience, and that only, yet a man is to be counted a legalist or self-righteous if, while he does not pretend that his obedience is perfect, he yet relies on it for a title to life. Self-righteous men have, in all ages, set aside as impossible to be fulfilled by them that condition of the covenant

Here is an spot of Alan Conner discussing holy in 1 Corinthians 7:14

Quote:
It is true that the children of a believing parents are holy. But what does this mean? Since the unbelieving spouse is also "sanctified" (same word as "holy" used for the children only its verbal form), it seems only logical that they will be holy in the same way that the children are holy. No one in their right mind

Holiness and Leadership

Posted 07-18-2009 at 01:54 AM by PuritanCovenanter

Just a quote from J. I. Packer that will be relevant for generations.


Leadership

What do we Christians chiefly value in our leaders, our preachers, teachers, pastors, writers, televangelists, top people in parachurch ministries, money-men who bankroll churches and other Christian enterprises, and other folk with key roles in our set-up? The answer seems to be not their holiness, but their gifts and skills and resources. The number of North American leaders (and...

Sinners, Truth, and a Fallen Pastor

Posted 07-13-2009 at 04:34 PM by PuritanCovenanter

Sinners, Truth, and a Fallen Pastor

A Pastor friend of mine made this comment concerning the new controversey about a fallen Pastor of a very large church.

"In this crucial time of war within the fabric or our culture this will be a severe blow regardless of outcome. "
