“What an awful theory that makes a sinner think he’s saved.” || Catherine Booth

by Alan Sharpe April 30, 2022

May God save you from any such mock salvation as this.

by Alan Sharpe April 30, 2022

A man is either under the dominion of sin, or else he is delivered from it. If he is under the dominion of sin, what an awful theory is that which makes him believe he is saved. Could the devil have invented a more damning theory than that? And yet, alas! Alas! He allures millions to destruction through it, who otherwise would take alarm and begin to seek salvation. He says to all the qualms of conscience and the pangs of remorse, “You are all right, you believe this or the other, your faith is orthodox, you are safe,” frequently quoting separated or mutilated texts to back up his lying insinuations, such as “By faith ye are saved;” “he that believeth shall be saved,” “you are complete in Him,” etc.

This latter phrase has come to express, in numbers of instances, the most utter ruin to which the human soul can be brought. “Complete in Christ”–complete without any true repentance, without any offering of the heart, without the slightest change inward or outward “complete in Him,” while living without Him, and having no conscious connection with Him whatever; complete

You, Porn, and the First Temptation | Genesis 3:4

by Alan Sharpe April 29, 2022

The Bible warns that you can fall away in unbelief and become severed from your saving union with God through Christ. Heed the warnings. Don’t believe the lie.

by Alan Sharpe April 29, 2022

“Then the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die.'”
Genesis 3:4

If you are a Christian man struggling to conquer your habitual sin of watching pornography, your problem may be that you believe the same lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden. The lie that Eve believed. The lie that she and Adam acted upon. The lie that brought death—physical and spiritual—upon them and all mankind.

Satan whispers this same lie to you whenever you are tempted to look at pornography or masturbate. You know that these sins are wrong, but Satan tells you otherwise.

God says if you are sexually immoral, you will be cast into hell (Matthew 5:27-30). Satan says, “you will not surely die.”
God says if you are sexually immoral, you will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Satan says, “you will not surely die.”
God says you must abstain from sexual immorality or fa

Whoever Abides in Him Does Not Watch Porn | 1 John 3:6

by Alan Sharpe March 29, 2022

Jesus teaches that there are people who will be thrown into the Lake of Fire who thought they were saved and eternally secure. Don’t be one of them.

Whoever Abides in Him Does Not Watch Porn | 1 John 3:6

“Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.”
1 John 3:6

There is only one thing worse than being saved but having no assurance, and that is being lost but having assurance. The man who engages in pornography, masturbation and other sexual sins habitually and compulsively and yet thinks he is on his way to glory is the man most to be pitied. He thinks he has eternal security when all he has is a track record of ongoing disobedience that proves he is not a child of God.

This is the clear teaching of 1 John 3:6: “No one who abides in Him [who remains united in fellowship with Him—deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin. No one who habitually sins has seen Him or known Him.” Amplified Bible.

Abiding in Christ is incompatible with h

“Mistaken grace is the saddest thing in the world.” || Samuel Rutherford

by Alan Sharpe January 24, 2022

Acquaint yourself with prayer. Make Christ your Captain and your armour. Make conscience of sinning when no eye seeth you.

I wish that ye take pains for salvation. Mistaken grace, and somewhat like conversion which is not conversion, is the saddest and most doleful thing in the world. Make sure of salvation, and lay the foundation sure, for many are beguiled. Put a low price upon the world’s clay; but a high price upon Christ. Temptations will come, but if they be not made welcome by you, ye have the best of it. Be jealous over yourself and your own heart, and keep touches with God. Let Him not have a faint and feeble soldier of you. Fear not to back Christ, for He will conquer and overcome. Let no man scaur at Christ, for I have no quarrels at His cross; He and His cross are two good guests, and worth the lodging. Men would fain have Christ good-cheap; but the market will not come down. Acquaint yourself with prayer. Make Christ your Captain and your armour. Make conscience of sinning when no eye seeth you. Grace be with you.
