Download or read book Vain Imaginations in the Worship of God written by Jonathan Edwards and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important issues facing today’s contemporary church is the subject of public worship. What does God require from sinners who draw near to him in this ordinance? Surveying the landscape of American Colonial preachers on this topic is exceedingly illuminating. In theological kinship to their Puritan counterparts, New World preachers were vehement in their desire to explain the particulars of prescribed worship according to God’s word. Their solid biblical conviction and passion gives the contemporary church a scriptural remedy for understanding God’s requirements. This anthology is compiled of six enlarged sermons and one lecture, all of which have never been published since the days the original preachers ministered in their respective congregations. They are: The Sinfulness of Worshipping God with Men’s Institutions by Samuel Willard (1640-1707) taken from Matthew 15:9, “But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”. The Vanity of Human Institutions in the Worship of God by Jonathan Dickinson (1688-1747) taken from Gal. 4:9, “…how turn you again to the weak and beggerly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?” The Great Sin of Formality in God’s Worship by Joshua Moodey (1633-1697) taken from Hosea 11:12, “Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit.” The Duty of Worshipping God in His House by Nathan Stone (1737-1804) taken from Psalm 5:7, “But as for me, I will come into thy house, in the multitude of thy mercy; and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.” And then two unpublished sermons and one lecture from Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758): The Profanation of God’s Holy Worship taken from Ezekiel 23:36-39, “…they have committed adultery…then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it.” Provoking the Lord to Jealousy in the Worship of God taken from 1 Cor. 10:22, “Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?” And an Appendix: The Holiness of God taken from Isaiah 6:3, “And one cried unto another and said holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.” This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Download or read book The Christian s Charge Never to Offend God in Worship written by John Forbes and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Forbes will show you that the house of God should be ordered by God’s rules. In this it should be seen as wholly appropriate that God’s "people" are to be ordered by God’s rules. Such worship should show reverence, piety, love, desire, and joy in God, and it should be structured and ordered according to God’s holy principles. Worship for the Christian should be an expression of God’s heart back to God filtered through his congregation. We ought to reflect back to God how wonderful and most blessed He is in pure and undefiled worship. Mr. Forbes demonstrates from 1 Timothy 6:13-16 that it is impossible to worship God by human invention. It is equally impossible to worship God by human ingenuity. And, it is impossible to worship God in an atmosphere that has not been structured and ordered by God and His word. The Regulative Principle expresses clearly that God alone determines the manner sinners are to approach him in worship. Such a doctrine, such a concept, should not be placed by the way side because we and our contemporary culture are more fascinated and captivated by being entertained rather than by God’s truth.

Book excerpt: The church in the last days will not receive understanding of the consequences of worshiping the anti-Christ (the beast) or his image and of taking the mark of the beast. Many shall do so without hesitation thinking that they are good Christians conforming to the world for the sake of survival instead of trusting in Christ. The consequences of this ignorance will be disastrous in the last days. Jesus will use the seal, trumpet and vial judgments to cleanse and purify the compromising church and shall present the church to his father holy and blameless in the end.

Download or read book A Treatise of Man s Imaginations written by William Perkins and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work on man’s imaginations, is taken from Genesis 8:21, “…For the imagination of man’s heart is evil even from his youth.” Not many years after the Synod of Dordt and the heart of the Arminian debate, Perkins penned this exposition that teaches total depravity in a practical framework. He covers the natural man’s thoughts and imaginations, and how those thoughts apply to God, his neighbor and himself. He then demonstrates the use of the doctrine that “God will have all or none of man’s heart,” and how that truth applies to all men in order to be reformed before God through Jesus Christ.
