Environmentalism-Glenn Conjurske

Environmentalism – Glenn Conjurske Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email Environmentalism by Glenn Conjurske Environmentalism is for all practical purposes a religion, as militant as Islam, as hypocritical as feminism, and more pernicious than humanism.

Sunshine-Glenn Conjurske

Sunshine – Glenn Conjurske Sunshine by Glenn Conjurske There is nothing on earth so cheering to the soul of man as sunshine.

Inquire of the Former Age-Glenn Conjurske

Inquire of the Former Age – Glenn Conjurske Inquire of the Former Age by Glenn Conjurske I have no question that pride is one of the major hindrances to progress in the church of the present day.

Time in Eternity-Glenn Conjurske

Time in Eternity – Glenn Conjurske Time in Eternity by Glenn Conjurske A strange notion has taken hold of the minds of many, namely, that there is no time in eternity.

Love and Humility-Glenn Conjurske

Love and Humility – Glenn Conjurske Love and Humility by Glenn Conjurske Love and humility are Siamese twins, and it is scarcely possible to find the one without finding the other.

What’s Wrong with It-Glenn Conjurske

What’s Wrong with It – Glenn Conjurske “What’s Wrong with It?” by Glenn Conjurske “What’s wrong with it?” is a question which is heard altogether too often in the church of God.

The Day of Salvation-Glenn Conjurske

The Day of Salvation – Glenn Conjurske The Day of Salvation by Glenn Conjurske Truth is one, while error is manifold and multitudinous.

Sharing the Gospel-Glenn Conjurske

Sharing the Gospe – Glenn Conjurske Sharing the Gospel by Glenn Conjurske It is very common in our day to hear people talk of sharing the gospel—-or worse, sharing their faith.

Making Disciples-Glenn Conjurske

Making Disciples – Glenn Conjurske Making Disciples by Glenn Conjurske Having read my sermon on “Forsaking All,” in the June issue of this magazine, a reader objects, on the basis of Greek grammar, to the use which I have made of Matthew 28:19-20.

The Woman with the Issue of Blood-Glenn Conjurske

The Woman with the Issue of Blood – Glenn Conjurske The Woman with the Issue of Blood by Glenn Conjurske We know little enough about this woman, and the brief account which we have of her tells us more about her Lord than about herself. We meet her but once, where she meets the Lord. […]

II Timothy 2:15 – Glenn Conjurske II Timothy 2:15 by Glenn Conjurske “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This is one of the most quoted, and least understood, verses in the New Testament. It is taken for granted by almost […]

Hyperspirituality-Glenn Conjurske

Hyperspirituality – Glenn Conjurske Hyperspirituality by Glenn Conjurske Next to carnality, I suppose the greatest enemy of true spirituality is hyperspirituality. In one sense I suppose it is a greater enemy, for it is certainly more subtle. I have observed for years what seems to be a general pattern, that wherever a man rises out […]

The Singing of the Birds-Glenn Conjurske

The Singing of the Birds – Glenn Conjurske The Singing of the Birds by Glenn Conjurske The birds hold a unique place in all of God’s creation. The Bible calls them “the birds of the heavens.” (Jer. 4:25).* This is their own sphere, and they are at home there. They are creatures of grace and […]

Sinners with their Heads Down-Glenn Conjurske

Sinners with their Heads Down – Glenn Conjurske Sinners with their Heads Down by Glenn Conjurske Sinners are wont to hold their heads high, sinful man having little sense of shame for his sin, and mortal man little sense of his utter weakness. The latter is most aptly expressed in the following not-very-pleasant verse by […]

Coats-Glenn Conjurske

Coats – Glenn Conjurske Coats by Glenn Conjurske “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Observe, first, who it was who made these coats.

Domestic Disobedience-Glenn Conjurske

Domestic Disobedience – Glenn Conjurske Domestic Disobedience by Glenn Conjurske Far be it from me to write anything which would encourage a spirit of disobedience, or recommend disobedience as a usual practice.

The Ministry of Women-Glenn Conjurske

The Ministry of Women – Glenn Conjurske The Ministry of Women by Glenn Conjurske The first thing which must be understood is that in the New Testament all ministry is based upon spiritual gift. “As every man”—-or rather, “every one,” for “man” is generic here, and there is no word answering to it in the […]

Pious Unbelief & Impious Faith-Glenn Conjurske

Pious Unbelief & Impious Faith – Glenn Conjurske Pious Unbelief & Impious Faith by Glenn Conjurske There is a great deal of pious unbelief on the earth, and alas, but little faith of any kind.

Repentance in the Gospel of John-Glenn Conjurske

Repentance in the Gospel of John – Glenn Conjurske Repentance in the Gospel of John by Glenn Conjurske One of the common arguments of those who oppose the scriptural doctrine of repentance is its supposed absence from the Gospel of John.

The Patience of Christ-Glenn Conjurske

The Patience of Christ – Glenn Conjurske The Patience of Christ by Glenn Conjurske “Ye have heard of the patience of Job,” says the book of James, but how many have heard of the patience of Christ?

Carnal and Spiritual Christians-Glenn Conjurske

Carnal and Spiritual Christians – Glenn Conjurske Carnal and Spiritual Christians by Glenn Conjurske There are two errors abroad concerning carnal Christians.

Can A “Worldly Christian” Be Saved? – Glenn Conjurske Can A “Worldly Christian” Be Saved? by Glenn Conjurske Or, to put the question another way—-Can a worldly man be a Christian?

The Lord’s Prayer-Glenn Conjurske

The Lord’s Prayer – Glenn Conjurske The Lord’s Prayer by Glenn Conjurske In entering upon a discussion of the Lord’s prayer, I am of course quite sensible of the fact that I may thereby be falling from grace in the eyes of some of my fellow dispensationalists, most of whom will vehemently contend that the […]

Calvinism, Hyperspirituality, & the Use of Means – Glenn Conjurske Calvinism, Hyperspirituality, & the Use of Means by Glenn Conjurske The Calvinistic system is hyperspiritual throughout, making all of God, and nothing of man, who is made in his image—-making all of the direct working of God, and nothing of the means which he has […]

Religion-Glenn Conjurske

Religion – Glenn Conjurske Religion by Glenn Conjurske Religion has a bad name among modern Fundamentalists. It is generally regarded as something false, something evil.

Cain and Abel and Their Offerings-Glenn Conjurske

Cain and Abel and Their Offerings – Glenn Conjurske Cain and Abel and Their Offerings by Glenn Conjurske Martin Luther, the father of Protestantism, stamped upon the movement which he brought forth a strong tendency to antinomianism.

Tithing-Glenn Conjurske

Tithing – Glenn Conjurske Tithing by Glenn Conjurske The duty of tithing is one of those things which is almost universally held by Christians, cults and evangelical sects alike.

Speaking Evil of Dignities-Glenn Conjurske

Speaking Evil of Dignities – Glenn Conjurske Speaking Evil of Dignities by Glenn Conjurske One of the evil fruits of democracy is that it seems to give every man license to abuse his rulers. This is the American way. All who hold office are considered a fair target for the reproaches of every arm-chair philosopher, […]

Lot-Glenn Conjurske

Lot – Glenn Conjurske Lot by Glenn Conjurske Lot is the favorite character of all who are antinomian in doctrine. Whenever their unholy gospel is challenged, whenever they feel any need to scrape up some scriptural support for it, they fly directly to Lot, paint him as black as they can, and then insist that […]

Worship Teams-Glenn Conjurske

Worship Teams – Glenn Conjurske Worship Teams by Glenn Conjurske We hear a good deal about “worship teams” in these days.

Spirituality and Hyperspirituality-Glenn Conjurske

Spirituality and Hyperspirituality – Glenn Conjurske Spirituality and Hyperspirituality by Glenn Conjurske The term “hyperspirituality” has long been employed as a sneer, in the mouths of the unspiritual—-Neo-evangelicals in particular—-directed against true spirituality.

William BoothActs 16 : 31 – Glenn Conjurske   Acts 16:31 by Glenn Conjurske Acts 16:31 is one of the most abused texts in the Bible.
