The study today provides some general suggestions regarding individual responsibility toward civil government. Obviously, no society or government will rise any higher than the people and the values and goals established by them.

The study today concludes the topic of “The Christian and Civil Government.” It provides some instructions regarding the individual responsibility of every individual toward God. Though the conscience of man is not to be forced by others in worshiping God, each person is responsible to bow to God and render obedience to Him as demanded by the Holy Scriptures.

The study for today is the first of a series concerning the doctrine of salvation. Obviously, this subject is an umbrella covering many other doctrines taught in the Scriptures. The lesson today introduces the need for such a subject because of the general misconceptions believed by many.

The study for today establishes the standard by which we not only define and describe the doctrine of salvation and its related subjects, but it is the foundation on which all our podcasts are constructed. This seeks to avoid the confusion caused by the plurality of so-called translations propagated in modern times. It is essential that we know the will of God given by Him in the Holy Scriptures.

Salvation was not an afterthought with God as a result of the fall of man. A brief study of some of the basic attributes of God proves this. The salvation of man was in the mind and purpose of God from all eternity.

Salvation is not left to the weakness of sinful man. God manifested His sovereignty in creation and He continues to manifest His sovereignty in providence. Equally, salvation is accomplished according to the sovereign grace of God.

The study for today is beginning to show that salvation is founded on the sovereign election of God and that it was not based on any action of man as foreseen by God in eternity. If man must do anything for his sins to be remitted then salvation is by works and not by grace.

The study for today continues to show that election was not merely by the sovereign mercy and grace of God, but that it was purposed by Him in eternity and not based on any good in the creature. It was according to the will of God to the praise of His glory and honor.

The study for today continues studying the doctrine of election unto salvation. In this podcast we find that it is the elect of God that are preserved and kept by faith not only in this life but they shall be ushered into the presence of the Lord in the world to come.

The study for today continues with the doctrine of election unto salvation. In this podcast we are simply seeking to answer the charge that believing the doctrine of election will not cause one to live a life of sinfulness.
