Battle for God's Truth

History of Revival (1740 -1851) Iain Murray / 1 of 5

A unity that includes diversity; Christ; the only head of the Church; each member has a function; the analogy of the body; the doctrine of the call : it is always God who calls a person; the Church must never suggest; or call; or put pressure on people in an emotional atmosphere; the difference between 'call' and 'need'; identifying and testing the call; the responsibility of the Church; leadership in the Church; given by the grace of God. Differing Gifts - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” 9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and t

The Holy Spirit enable the Lord to function; one Holy Spirit; but a multiplicity of evil spirits; the Church likened to a building; the visible Church contains many who are unregenerate; the first work of the Spirit; conviction of sin; the second work of the Spirit; incorporating the new believer into the body of Christ : the Church; the Spirit animates the life of the whole body. The Work of the Spirit in the Church - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The Patience of God - John MacDuff (Christian devotional) Romans 15:5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had

The doctrine of the Church central to New Testament teaching; Paul uses the analogy of the body; the Trinity reflected in the Church; the unity is already there; it is inevitable; what does Paul mean when he describes the Church as 'one body'? the mystical; unseen Church; diversity in unity. The Body of Christ - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Bishop J. C. Ryle - Upper Room: Being a Few Truths for the Times (Christian audiobook) Bishop J. C. Ryle became the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool during a volatile time for the Church of England. Some church leaders fought for high church practices and a return to Catholic tradition, and others fought for low church practices and evangelism. The Upper Room contains a miscellaneous selection of papers and sermons the author had shared with others throughout his nearly fifty-year ministry. Just as a great portion of Ryle’s work focuses on Christ’s life, so also did his pastoral messages stress evangelism. His commentaries reflect his deep desire for all people to hear Christ’s call and receive salvation.

The central object of salvation is to restore unity; the importance of understanding the Scriptural teaching in the light of the modern ecumenical movement; Christian unity can only be based on the great Scriptural doctrines; unity is only produced by the holy Spirit; the Christian's responsibility to keep the bond of unity; unity mentioned in humility and love. Keeping the Unity of the Spirit - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

The Emptiness of the Christless Life - Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

Andrew Murray - That He Might Bring To Nought The Devil - The Holiest of All (17 of 130) Hebrews 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

The Faithfulness of God - John MacDuff (Christian devotional) Psalm 36:5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

J. R. Miller - In Time of Loneliness "Surely I am with you always--to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 "Loneliness is one of the most pathetic of human experiences. The yearning for companionship is one of the deepest of all yearnings. The religion of Christ has something to meet every human need; what is its blessing for loneliness? We may turn to the Master's own life for an answer to our question. He met all the experiences that ever become ours, and He found for Himself the best there is to be found in the divine love—to meet His experiences. Thus He showed us what we may find in our times of need, and how we may find it."
