The opening paragraphs in Francis Schaeffer’s book:True Spirituality.
The question before us is what the Christian life,true spirituality,really is,and how it may be lived in a twentieth century setting. The first point which we must make is that it is impossible even to begin living the Christian life,or to [...] http://wayoflife.org/files/ecdf6e9b44bbdb45aeac57fb4e7e099d-816.html CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSICIANS AND THE BEATLES One of the reasons why we are opposed to Contemporary Christian Music is its worldliness,its refusal to separate from the world. Contemporary Christian musicians make no attempt to hide the fact that they love secular rock &roll and they have no shame for doing so. When [...] Proverb 2:1-9 My son,if thou wilt receive my words,and hide my commandments with thee;(2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,and apply thine heart to understanding;(3) Yea,if thou criest after knowledge,and liftest up thy voice for understanding;(4) If thou seekest her as silver,and searchest for [...] Deuteronomy 11:26-32 Behold,I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;(27) A blessing,if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God,which I command you this day:(28) And a curse,if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God,but turn aside out of the [...] 2Chronicles 36:8-16 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim,and his abominations which he did,and that which was found in him,behold,they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah:and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. (9) Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to [...] Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,that I might not sin against thee. If God’s Word is not being read,then how do I know for sure what is sin and what is good in my life. With the standard of the Bible,I become my own authority and I will [...] 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 For as touching the ministering to the saints,it is superfluous for me to write to you:(2) For I know the forwardness of your mind,for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia,that Achaia was ready a year ago;and your zeal hath provoked very many. (3) Yet [...] The life of liberty is how a Christian is suppose to live. The problem is that people are very good at stating what someone cannot do or what they themselves do not do. Legalism introduces not only the Ten Commandments but also the unwritten laws that Christians come up with. Some of those unwritten laws [...] Galatians 5:1-18 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (2) Behold,I Paul say unto you,that if ye be circumcised,Christ shall profit you nothing. (3) For I testify again to every man that is circumcised,that he is [...] 1Peter 5:4-11 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear,ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
