From the Webmaster

10/28/2024 If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love

Holiness, The Heart of the Christian Experience

By James Blaine Chapman

Summary

Holiness The Heart of the Christian Experience presents holiness as the heart of the Christian experience points and how to get there.




Evaluation by David Cox

thumbs-up-thumbs-downI would understand that the Nazarenes are a branch off of the Holiness movement, basically tracing their basic doctrines and understandings back to John Wesley and the second work of Grace (being filled with the Holy Spirit). I would not agree with them on that main point that there is a “method” which when followed would result in holiness. True holiness is about knowing Jesus very well, and by walking with God day by day, one receives “the shining face” like Moses when he was in God’s presence. This is true holiness, seeing God reflected in me because I love Him.


Have you ever eaten Fried Ice Cream! Donate! It is delicious, like apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top. But you know that you cannot have what is good without somebody paying for it. If you have enjoyed things on my website, please consider helping me out on the expenses and keeping it on the Internet. Can you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? I have a monthly total of about 96 gigabytes total being downloaded monthly from all of my websites. Be a blessing to me and donate any amount. It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife (she wants oa fried ice cream too) this money so that we could enjoy eating out at least once in a while. (I pay the expenses for these sites out of our living expenses.) God will richly bless you and repay you for your generosity. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. If you received some value from my websites, consider at least a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too, though.

They deep freeze the ice cream ball, and coat it with batter only a few seconds before they deep fry it, and then only fry it for a few seconds.

Having said that, and this is their fault, thinking that holiness can be prescribed somehow by activities, let me also say that outside of the holiness-deeper life movement, NOBODY seems even remotely “worried” about being holy. Most groups gloss over holiness like it is automatic, they are holy even though they are full of sins, or it is a non-issue.

Chapman’s book is about holiness, and outside of these people like Finney, Murray, E.M. Bounds, etc. you will be hard put to find works that concentrate on holiness, and exhort and strive with one to stress holiness in their life.

I would recommend this book.

ch49 The Biblical Pastor: The Biblical Duty outlines the duties of a pastor.
Topics: Pastoral Watchcare | Threats to wicked Pastors | Spiritual feeding | Being a Watchman (warning and protecting) | Pastoral Visitation | Intercession by prayer | Pastoring because you love Christ.
Excerpt: The concept of “visit” or “visitation” refers to the pastoral duty (spiritual watchcare of others) in which he analyzes the problems to effect a remedy. This concept is basically “visit”. Jesus identified the true believer as a person which has the naturally emerging joy to serve and help others.
