Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

A-man-ian Grace

Arminian Grace is a Amanian Grave! 
A-man-ian Grace
(To the tune of Amazing Grace)

A-man-ian "grace!" How strange the noise,
Salvation hinged on me.
I once was lost then turned around,
Was blind then chose to see.

What "grace" is it that calls for choice,
Worked from some good within?
That part that wills to heed God's voice,
Proved stronger than my sin.

Thru many stirring gospel pleas,
I sat with heart of stone.
But then some hidden good in me,
Propelled me toward my home.

When I've been there ten thousand years,
Because of what I've done,
I've many days to sing my praise,
Than when I first begun.

(With sincere apologies to John Newton)
