The Necessity of a Persevering Faith

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

It was a saying of Martin Luther, “Whom God intends to destroy, He gives them leave to play with Scripture.” The implications of this statement for the mass of professing Christianity today which does little else than play, toy, dabble, and tinker with Scripture in an attempt to mold and shape it to their own lusts, preferences, and presuppositions, deny its clear message and doctrines, give new meanings to old truths, and to justify their self-centered, worldly, and often heretical beliefs, practices, and lifestyles, is frightening.

The Comfort of a Persevering Faith

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

Anyone who has been observing the current state of professing Christendom and the drift of the church, and who is not totally apathetic to the spiritual and moral decay of our times, cannot help but notice that we live in an age when uncertainty, conciliation, and compromise in matters of faith and doctrine is considered more Christian than dogmatism, exposing error, persevering in the truth, and contending earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

Faith

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

We tend to think, and with good reason, that we live in dangerous, discouraging, and confusing times. We see much false religion and so few faithful pastors and churches. We have a government and population that have lost all reverence for God and His Word, and all sense of God as holy, God as Judge of all the earth, and God as all-seeing and all-knowing. Read more »

The Evidences of Regeneration

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

Faithful stewards of God’s word have been called to serve the cause of Christ in a dangerous season. It is a time when, for the most part, sound doctrine is not tolerated, much less desired, by the mass of professing Christians. The law of God is ignored, and devotion to Scripture and to the historic doctrines of Christianity are in eclipse. Read more »

Regeneration

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

In the previous study I plainly demonstrated the necessity of a true work of God in the heart and of a true conversion and new birth to prepare a person for the sufferings inherent with living in a dangerous season. Exactly what this new birth or regeneration entails, the nature of regeneration, and how it prepares a person for even the hardest and most trying services is what I intend to cover in this study.
