(1 Corinthians 4:15). Brother Robert Ewing was more than a teacher of the Word to me; he was the one that the Lord used to shape my spiritual walk. I had been a believer for more than 17 years before I met Brother Robert, and I had a desire to serve God, but I was also very entrenched in legalism. My legalism caused me to be very cautious of Brother Robert the first time I met him. (Grace and legalism are like oil and water.) Although he recognized the spiritual battle going on within me, he continued to pray for me for an entire year until we met again. By that time, the Lord had done a work in my heart that prepared me to hear the things that the Lord had taught Brother Robert. After several hours of hearing Robert expound upon the Word, the legalism that I had carefully built up for those many years began to crumble as a greater revelation of God's grace began to illuminate my heart. That first Bible study evolved into a study that lasted six days, ten hours a day. During that time the presence of God was so strong that I felt as though I had never really understood the Bible before. As I meticulously took notes for those six days, Brother Robert never needed to refer to one written note but just taught directly from the Bible. That was the beginning of my relationship with Brother Robert. Over the next eight years as I visited him in Texas or he visited me in Canada or as I accompanied him on several trips to Europe, my walk with Christ deepened. Even a greater impact to me than his teachings was observing his consistent and total devotion to the Lord. I had never met someone so totally committed to Christ before that time. God used him to nourish and guide me spiritually. He truly had an apostolic anointing and knew how to be a spiritual father. Howard Katz Open Door Church London, Ontario, Canada [email protected] The 7 Key Truths are not a sidetrack away from God's word, but instead are seven Biblical main truths. As a church we have been blessed in applying them to both our personal life and to the church life. It is wonderful to experience how these teachings help us understand what we read when we open the Bible and enable us to find answers to any personal problems as well. Daniel Moser Neutestamentliche Gemeinde Bern Berne, Switzerland 3 I had the privilege of meeting Brother Robert in 1971, and God was gracious in allowing me to have very close fellowship with him. During the last five years of his life we studied the Bible side by side, day after day. I can truly testify of Brother Robert's example of a real sacrificial love for others in meekness and humbleness. That was always the greatest and most outstanding of all of his gifts and talents. It is my personal opinion that this was the reason that the Lord opened so many doors up to him all over the world and also why God granted him so much grace to understand the real meaning of the Scriptures in depth. Although he always claimed that he didn't understand everything (which is true, of course), he did receive through the actual revelation of the Holy Spirit keys to help solve problems of the different misinterpretations of the truth that have divided the body of Christ for so many years. I truly believe that examining and receiving these 7 Key Truths with sincerity of heart while putting away all prejudiced mind sets will continually open our spiritual understanding in order to be able to build up sound doctrine and be able to learn how to rightly divide the Word of God. Eleazar Mendoza Living Word Church Irving, TX [email protected] During my early years as a Christian, I had great struggles with insecurity concerning my salvation. It seemed that Satan used certain scriptures that caused me to doubt. After Robert and Glenn Ewing had shared on this for some time, God helped me see that the difficult passages in the Bible were, almost without exception, speaking about sanctification, not justification. This realization set me free and I have been free from those battles ever since. As Robert used to say, “Justification and sanctification are like the two rails that a train runs on. When you have both, then there is REST.” And I fully agree. Richard K.

I will address several issues which we felt it wise to clarify for the readers and students of the enclosed valuable teachings. It was Robert's desire that these truths, which comprised the core if his church building and foundation laying ministry, be made available to all who hunger for a closer walk with Jesus Christ. To those who closely observed Brother Robert's manner of life, it was evident that these were not merely teachings but inspired revelations from God's Word that Robert prayerfully studied and which, by practical applica- tion, had become part of his life and ministry. He taught that these truths should never be seen as 'an end' in them- selves, or as a substitute for any part of the Bible, but merely keys given to open a clearer understanding of the Scriptures. He taught that if the three cardinal principles of: 1. The Love of God, which covers a multitude of sins, leads us to repen- tance and enables us to avoid condemnation in our relationships and, 6 2. The Headship of Christ, which produces meekness and humility and delivers us from the tendency to desire to lord over the flock, while maintaining a servant's attitude and, 3. The Effectual Working of the Holy Spirit, Who leads us into all truth and guides us in our daily walk and calling, were operating in us and our local churches, we would be successful and continue to grow in God's Grace. Who is it that the author and those who have labored over this revised edition seek to glorify? The Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:18b… “in all things He might have the preeminence.” And who is responsible for the publishing of this revised edition? Robert personally commissioned Howard Katz, Eleazar Mendoza and Brad Kenyon to work together with a team, to see that this material and other books be revised as needed, translated, published and distributed. This work is done in obedience to this vision and commission. The fulfillment of this commission continues with the publishing of the periodical “The New Testament Grace Counselor”, the working together of an international team of ministries providing fellowship and accountability for local churches in many countries, and the publishing of this and other compi- lations of Robert Ewing's work. What was the motivation for the revision of The Seven Key Truths book, and what has been added? While this material has been previously published in a limited way and in various forms, it was clear that there was a need for a thorough revision for the sake of readability and clarity.

  • The Intermediate Or Disembodied State
    WILLIAM G.T. SHEDD DOGMATIC THEOLOGY Volume Two ESCHATOLOGY Chapter I THE INTERMEDIATE OR DISEMBODIED STATE Eschatology (εσχατων λογος) is that division in Dogmatics which treats of the Intermediate or Disembodied State, Christ's Second Advent, the Resurrection, the Final Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Revelation does not give minute details upon these subjects, yet the principal features are strongly drawn, and salient. The doctrine of the Intermediate State has had considerable variety of construction, owing to the mixing of mythological elements with the biblical. The representations of Christ in the parable of Dives and Lazarus have furnished the basis of the doctrine. The most general statement is, that the penitent, represented by Lazarus, is happy, and the impenitent, represented by Dives, is miserable. The doctrine taught in Scripture that the body is not raised until the day of judgment, implies that the condition of all men between death and resurrection is a disembodied one. This doctrine has greatly misconceived, and the misconception has introduced grave errors into eschatology. Inasmuch as the body, though not necessary to personal consciousness, is yet necessary in order to the entire completeness of the person, it came to be supposed in the Patristic church, that the intermediate state is a dubious and unfixed state; that the resurrection adds very considerably both to the holiness and happiness of the redeemed, and to the sinfulness and misery of the lost. This made the intermediate, or disembodied state, to be imperfectly

    Sermon #225 The New Park Street Pulpit 1 SATAN’S BANQUET NO. 225 A SERMON DELIVERED On SABBATH MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1858, BY THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE MUSIC HALL, ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. “The governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said unto him, every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.” John 2:9, 10. THE governor of the feast said more than he intended to say, or ra- ther, there is more truth in what he said than he himself imagined! This is the established rule all the world over—“The good wine first and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse.” It is the rule with men and have not hundreds of disappointed hearts bewailed it? Friendship first—the oily tongue, the words softer than butter and afterwards the drawn sword! Ahithophel first presents the lordly dish of love and kind- ness to David; then afterwards that which is worse, for he forsakes his master and becomes the counselor of his rebel son. Judas presents first of all the dish of fair speech and of kindness; the Savior partook thereof, he walked to the house of God in company with Him and took sweet counsel with Him. But afterwards, there came the dregs of the wine—“He that eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.” Judas, the thief, betrayed his Master, bringing forth afterwards “that which is worse.” You have found it so with many whom you thought your friends.

Chapters I-XXXVI INTRODUCTION [Chapter 1] 1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is 3 for to come. Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, 4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai, [And appear from His camp] And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. 5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men). 8 But with the righteous He will make peace.

  • Arthur Miller Roxbury, Connecticut, Which Would Become His Long Time Home
    Guild's National Award. During 1944 Miller toured army camps to collect background material for his 1945 screenplay, The Story of GI Joe. In 1947 Miller's Name play, All My Sons, was produced and won the New York Critics' Circle Award and two Tony Awards. As his success continued, Miller made the decision in 1948 to build a studio in Arthur Miller Roxbury, Connecticut, which would become his long time home.

    B. ANTHROPOLOGY In this part of dogmatics we treat of 1. Man's present abode. 2. Man's nature. 3. Image of God. 4. Fall of man. 5. Sin. 1. Man's Present Abode I. The universe was created by God in the beginning to be the home of man. 1. The Creator is God, particularly the Father. a) God, the Triune God, is the Creator. Gn 1:1-2:3 Note: Gn 2:4-25 is not a second account of creation but a chapter of the world's history following creation. References in it to creation must be understood in the light of chapter 1. Phillip Hefner: A number of scholars have classified the myths of creation in the world’s religions. Charles Long, for example, has provided five different categories of such myths: emergence myths, world-parent myths, myths of creation from chaos and from the cosmic egg, creation from nothing, and earth- diver myths. Within the creation-from-nothing classification, he gathers the following: the Australian myth of the Great Father, Hesiod, Rig Veda, the ancient Maya myth from the Popol Vuh, and myths from Polynesia, the Maori, the Tuamotua, the Egyptians, and the Zuni- in addition to the Hebrew myth from Genesis…. Scholars are nearly unanimous that Genesis 1-11 is put together from several literary accounts. The one called “J” begins with Gen 2:4 and continues off and on through chapter 11. The other called “P” begins with the first chapter (Braaten/Jenson, Christian Dogmatics, I, p 277-278, 280). _____ 2 Kings 19:15 Hezekiah prayed to the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth.

  • Religion Five Years After the Crucible Was First Produced, Historian Edmund S
    Religion Five years after The Crucible was first produced, historian Edmund S. Morgan offered this trenchant summary of Puritanism’s inherent religious tensions: Puritanism required that a man devote his life to seeking salvation but told him he was helpless to do anything but evil. Puritanism required that he rest his whole hope in Christ but taught him that Christ would utterly reject him unless before he was born God had foreordained his salvation. Puritanism required that man refrain from sin but told him that he would sin anyhow. Puritanism required that he reform the world in the image of God’s holy kingdom but taught him that the evil of the world was incurable and inevitable. Puritanism required that he work to the best of his ability at whatever task was set before KLP DQG SDUWDNH RI WKH JRRG WKLQJV WKDW *RG KDG ¿OOHG WKH ZRUOG with but told him he must enjoy his work and his pleasures only, as it ZHUHDEVHQWPLQGHGO\ZLWKKLVDWWHQWLRQ¿[HGRQ*RG Miller’s play reflects this constellation of paradoxes in its characters’ earnest seeking after truth despite their blindness to their own ignorance, their determination to root out evil wherever they might find it except in their own assumptions and beliefs, and in their longing for a perfectly moral life that would dominate their irrepressible human passions. For them, the devil was a spiritual reality that encompassed these and other barriers to a pious and godly life. As Miller himself commented, religious faith is central to the play’s intent: The form, the shape, the meaning of The Crucible were all compounded out of the faith of those who were hanged.
