Teach No Other Doctrine - by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam


 Teach No Other Doctrine
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

In strong language the Apostle bids Timothy to “charge some that they teach no other doctrine”; no other doctrine, obviously, than that which he had taught them. In 1 Tim. 6:3-5 he closes his epistle by saying:
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ… from such withdraw thyself.”
In these passages the Apostle emphasizes the importance of fidelity to that heaven-sent message committed to him by revelation; that message which he says in Tit. 1:2,3 was “promised before the ages began” but made known “in due time… through preaching which is committed unto me…”

Ever since Paul’s day religious leaders have substituted other messages for that committed by the glorified Lord to Paul. The law of Moses, the Sermon on the Mount, the “great commission,” and Pentecost have all been confused with God’s message and program for the dispensation of grace. This is what has bewildered and divided the Church and ripened it for the apostasy.

With all the confused thinking about the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount fifty years ago it was little wonder that modernism swept so many off their feet with its teachings about Jesus of Nazareth, the Man of Galilee, following his footsteps, social betterment, political reform, etc. Multitudes were so taken up with the social gospel, so eager to help make the world a better place to live in, that they did not even notice or believe that the modernists denied the very fundamentals of the Christian faith.

But the new evangelicalism of our day is still more dangerous. It is big. It is well financed. It is popular. It is subtle. Perhaps its greatest danger lies in the fact that while claiming to be “conservative,” it minimizes the importance of the fundamentals and the danger of apostatizing from them.

Thus the inspired words of the Apostle Paul: “Charge some that they teach no other doctrine,” are more urgently needed in our day than they were in his.

HEALING IN THE BOOK OF ACTS &; HEALING AFfER THE CLOSE OF ACTS - By Robert E. Hanna




 HEALING IN THE BOOK OF ACTS &;  HEALING AFfER THE CLOSE OF ACTS -
  By Robert E. Hanna



Scripture Reading: Acts 5:16, II Timothy 4:20


The Book of Acts covers a period of transition as the  Kingdom Gospel declines and the Gospel of the Grace of God  increases. The longsuffering of God delayed His final setting  aside of His disobedient people Israel, giving them every  opportunity to repent. Although the power to perform  miraculous acts was gradually fading, the gift of healing  remained throughout the entire period. "By the hands of the  apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the  people .. .insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the  street that at least the shadow of Peter might overshadow  them and they were healed every one" (Acts 5:12-16). Not

only the twelve kingdom apostles, but Paul, the apostle to the  Gentiles, maintained healing power. "There sat a certain man  at Lystra, impotent in his feet ... who had never walked .... Paul  said, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked"  (Acts 14:8-10).

Even in the final chapter, Paul is still performing  miraculous deeds. (See Acts 28:3-9.) But as the book closes,  Paul delivers the final word of Israel's setting aside. "The  salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and they will hear  it" (Acts 28:28). From this time forward, Paul's healing power  is over. He tells the ailing Timothy, "Use a little wine for thy  stomach's sake" (I Timothy 5:23); and "Trophirnus have I left  at Miletum-SICK" (II Timothy 4:20).

Buy the Truth and Sell It Not - by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam



Buy the Truth and Sell It Not

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam


Every true Christian should understand that the truth costs. If you don’t think so, make it your own, value it, defend it, stand for it, and see if it doesn’t cost. Before you are through it may cost you far more than you had thought — hours of ease and pleasure, friends and money. Yes, the truth costs. Salvation is gloriously free but the truth costs — that is, if you want it for yourself. Many who know the truth won’t buy it. They won’t pay what it costs to say: “This is what I believe. This is my conviction.” The truth isn’t worth that much to them.

But in Prov. 23:23 God’s Word urges us: “Buy the truth”! Not, “Buy it if you can get it at a bargain; if the price is not too great.” No, “Buy the truth”! Buy it at any price. It is worth far more than anything you can give in exchange for it.

And when you have bought it: “sell it not.” How many, alas, have bought the truth only to sell out again! For a while they valued and defended some God-given light from His Word, but presently they sold it again for something that seemed more valuable. Perhaps it was peace with others, or position, or popularity or some other temporal gain. They still gave mental assent to it but it formed no part of them. It was no longer a conviction.

Such should read again the Spirit’s counsel: “Buy the truth, and sell it not.” He does not say: “Don’t sell it unless you can get a very good price for it.” He says: “Sell it not.” Sell it not at any price. Buy it, no matter what it costs and when it is yours do not sell it for any price or under any consideration.

It is because the truth is so little valued in this indifferent age, that many of God’s people have become so spiritually powerless. They hold opinions instead of convictions, because they have given the infallible, unchangeable Word of God little place in their lives. God blesses and uses those who “buy the truth and sell it not.”

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE & THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST - By Robert E. Hanna




    THE GREAT WHITE THRONE & THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST 
 By Robert E. Hanna


Scripture Reading: Revelation 20:11, II Corinthians 5:10

Many people-saved people-live in dread of death  because they do not understand the kind of judgment that  they will face before God. There is indeed a final judgment to  come- which is awesome and should strike fear into the heart  of those who will face it. The Apostle John wrote, describing  what was revealed to him in a vision on the Isle of Patmos, "I  saw a great white throne, and Him [Christ] that sat on it ....  and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the  books were opened: and another book was opened, which is  the book oflife ... and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:11-  15). Those described here are the lost-those who did not  accept God's proffered salvation before they died. The lost  from all generations are raised from the dead to face this  sentence of eternal separation from God.

But you and I, if we have been saved by the grace of God  through faith, are not destined to confront the Great White  Throne. Our apostle has revealed that "We must all appear  before the judgment seat of Christ [not the great white  throne]; that every one may receive the things done in his  body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or  bad" (II Corinthians 5:10). The works for which we will be  judged are those accomplished in service to God during our  lives after we have been saved. "If any man's work shall be  burned, he shall suffer loss [of reward], but he himself shall be  saved ... " (I Corinthians 3:15).

Oneness With Christ by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam





 Oneness With Christ 
 by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam


“I am [have been] crucified with Christ” (Gal. 2:20).
What is salvation? It is actually coming into oneness with the Lord Jesus Christ.

“The wages of sin is death” and “the soul that sinneth it shall die,” but Christ was not a sinner. Even Pontius Pilate, after having examined Him carefully, said: “I find no fault in Him” and “I find no cause of death in Him.”

It was therefore not His death that He died at Calvary. It was ours. He had come from heaven to be born into the human race as one of us in order to die our death.

It is when we view that death at Calvary and say: “This is not His death He is dying. It is mine;” it is then that, by an act of faith, we become one with Him. His death was ours; the penalty for our sins, but it is not applied to us until by faith we accept it as ours. Thus the Apostle Paul declares by divine inspiration:

“I have been crucified with Christ” and he adds: “the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith [the fidelity] of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).

Since the believer has been united with Christ in death, he is united with Him in resurrection life also. Col 2:12 says that believers are “buried with Him in baptism.” This is not baptism by water. This is a divine baptism, the work of the Holy Spirit, for he goes on to say: “wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God.”

Little wonder the Apostle begins this lesson for believers with the declaration:


“For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the godhead bodily, and ye are complete in Him” (Col. 2:

FORGIVENESS IN THE KINGDOM GOSPEL & FORGIVENESS IN THE GRACE GOSPEL - By Robert E. Hanna



  FORGIVENESS IN THE KINGDOM GOSPEL &   FORGIVENESS IN THE GRACE GOSPEL - By Robert E. Hanna

Scripture Reading: Mark 11:25-26, Ephesians 4:30-32

The power of forgiveness of sin is, and always has been,  in God's hands; but He has not always dealt with the process  in precisely the same manner. Under the kingdom economy,  the stated condition is recorded thusly in the words of Christ  to His disciples: "When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have  ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven  may forgive your trespasses. But if Ye do not forgive,  neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive  your trespasses" (Mark 11:25-26). "Forgive, andye shall be  forgiven" (Luke 6:37). When teaching His disciples how to  pray, He said, "Forgive us bur debts, as we forgive our  debtors" (Matthew 6:12). The condition is clear: forgive, so  that God can forgive you. Such was forgiveness under the  kingdom gospel.

We today are not under the kingdom gospel but the  Gospel of the Grace of God! Our instruction from the risen  Lord Jesus Christ comes to us through the apostle to the  Gentiles, by the name of Paul. "Be ye kind one to another,  tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for  Christ's sake HATH FORGIVEN YOU" (Ephesians 4:32).  "In whom [Christ] we have redemption through His blood,  the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His  grace" (Ephesians 1:7). "And you, being dead in your sins and  the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together  ~th Him, having forgiven you all trespasses"  (Colossians 2:13).
