What is hyper-Calvinism? What are the five points of Calvinism? I WANT TO CLARIFY that I don’t have any intention of trying to add more confusion to the hundreds of years of the Calvinism-Arminianism debate. Tozer once said that there were so many people more intelligent than we are who took part in the centuries-old Calvin-Arminius doctrinal war. All of them ended up siding with either Calvinism or Arminianism.

Real God Whom Paul Met at Damascus

March 13, 2020November 25, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

The deity of Christ is the heart of the Christian religion. The apostle Paul clearly taught that his “great God and Savior” is Jesus Christ. Our Lord is real God Incarnate. But the haters of the Christian faith see this teaching as unacceptable as the Bible itself. How did Paul arrive at his doctrine that Christ is our great God and Savior?

Salvation Through Faith in Christ

March 24, 2020November 25, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

In her lifetime, Gadaria had all the opportunities to know Christ and His offer of free eternal life through faith in His atoning blood. But Gadaria did not seek the face of Christ in a way Mary Magdalene searched and waited for the risen Jesus at His tomb.

Secret prayer will work for you. Secret devotion or prayer keeps man closer to God. It is also his spiritual source of strength and power.

Without intense and ceaseless worshipfulness, they couldn’t have been used so wonderfully by our Lord.

Second Birth Needed for Salvation

March 22, 2020November 25, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

The term born again is prone to wild misuse. Its meaning is almost always clothed with mockery. Our Lord Jesus, seeing its future distortion by His enemies, spent eighteen long verses with Nicodemus in John chapter three in order that His teaching concerning man’s salvation through the second birth be made crystal clear.

Lukewarmness & the Pastor’s Restricting God’s Membership

September 18, 2022November 25, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

Lukewarmness, however, remains the most eloquent testimony of our pulpits’ spiritual powerlessness! We need more Christ, not more verses, for He is the wisdom of God.
