Questions about Lamentations

“…I went and read the whole chapter of Lamentations with verse 23 and it seems to say the opposite in the beginning of the chapter. Please help me understand this apparent reversal of thinking in the writer of lamentations. Thanks for helping me.”

Gospel Presentation

In Jesus Christ believers are forgiven, declared righteous before God, given new life, and accepted as sons and daughters.

Why Is Sound Doctrine So Important?

The gospel is fading in our consciousness and understanding. It is ordinary and commonplace. It is our assumed treasure (we would all sat that!) but it is still the object of our neglect. When I say the gospel slipping, Hebrews corrects me to state the issue more sharply, that it is we who are slipping not the gospel. The gospel is the dock to which we must be tied. The dock is not floating away from us; we are drifting away from it. There is only one place to drift when we stray from the sacrifice of Christ, and that is into hell itself. Such is the warning of Hebrews. We are presented with this great salvation that must not be ignored, as in Hebrews 2, OR it is the consuming fire when the Lord will judge His people, as in Hebrews 10. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, Hebrews 10:31. Yet the gospel is that Christ by the grace of God fell into the hands of God for us. On the cross He faced the consuming fire our sins earned for Him.

Will Any Christians End up Gnashing their Teeth?

David H. Linden,  University Presbyterian Church,  Las Cruces, New Mexico,  December, 2013

I am dealing with the question whether Christians may be refused entrance into God’s kingdom.   We are told by some teachers that this will happen. When excluded these Christians experience weeping and gnashing of teeth. Most of the texts a friend of mine has heard in support of this notion included “gnashing of teeth”, thus the title of this article. 

But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.
