The Lord is Not Slack

Peter wrote in 2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

For believers in Sovereign Grace, this verse is usually one of the first prooftexts raised in opposition to concepts such as election or predestination. But does this verse really contradict the sovereignty of God in salvation? We insist, no it doesn’t. In fact, as we explore the context of Peter’s statement in this episode of Words of Grace, we see that rather than contradicting election, this text demands it!

Fruits of Life

In our last broadcast, we considered the great assurances which the Bible promises to the believer; namely, that believers have passed from death to life (as attested by their faith), and have the promise of deliverance with Christ in the world to come. But this concept brings up an interesting thought: True righteous works are the fruits of eternal life. As preachers of old would say, good works and faith are evidences of a gracious state. Join us for this message on such fruits of salvation.

What is Faith?

In our last broadcast, we shared the many promises given to believers found in John’s gospel; declarative statements assuring deliverance for those who know God in the world to come. In this episode of Words of Grace, we revisit that theme of belief, answering the question from the scriptures, “what is faith?” If you’ve never considered the root of faith in the heart of a believer, you definitely want to listen.

The Blessing of Being a Believer

In recent broadcasts, we considered the topics of Eternal Security and then the undergirding doctrine of Particular Redemption, both from a beloved verse, John 6:37. In today’s broadcast, we return to John chapter 6, this time with our focus on the great blessings promised to the believer in Christ.

Limited Atonement

Last week on Words of Grace, we shared thoughts on the biblical reality of eternal security. Today, we consider the doctrine which “undergirds” this comforting concept, the doctrine of Limited Atonement. That is, because Jesus Christ came to save a people given to Him by His Father, and because His work for them is efficacious, there is eternal security for all ordained to eternal life.

Eternal Security

From Philippians 1:6, Pastor Winslett shares the comforting truth that if God begins a work in a person, He continues that work forever. We all struggle with our own sinfulness. To know that despite our failures, God is never “done” with us, but preserves us by His grace, is most comforting indeed!

Christ, From the Psalms

Most every Christian is familiar with the Book of Psalms, the hymn book of Ancient Israel. While they contain many devotional and experiential thoughts, we often fail to realize the doctrinal and especially Christological nature of the Psalms. In this episode of Words of Grace, we conduct a brief survey, merely scratching the surface of such Messianic Psalms.

The Holy Spirit

The Bible presents the eternal Godhead as a Trinity. That is, God is a Tri-Unity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. To paraphrase 1 John 5:7, there are three, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and these Three are One. In today’s broadcast, we share a recent message by Pastor Winslett, on the subject of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity. His focus, in specific, was the Personhood of the Holy Spirit.
