RESTING IN GOD (SANTAMARIA)

MR. GIDDING’S ESSAY ON THE MODERN MISSION SYSTEM (TROTT) 1837 #5

Mr. Giddings in reference to the third instance of the use of means, quotes several texts of scripture, to show that trust ought not to be reposed in man, but in God, and says, “thus it is with the friends of missions, who after they have done all that they were able to do, say we are unprofitable servants.”

MR. GIDDING'S ESSAY ON MODERN MISSIONS SYSTEM #3 (TROTT) 1837

I now come to Mr. Giddings's third proposition: that combination of effort on the part of the church, is sanctioned by Christ its head.

MOREVER THE LAW ENTERED (TROTT) 1858

Brother Beebe: - I saw in a number of the Signs some time back that sister A. A. Ford, of Lexington, N.Y., requests my views on Rom.5:20, "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."

THED PASSION OF GOD (SANTAMARIA)

 

MISSIONARY PRIESCRAFT (TROTT) 1837

Brother Beebe: - As the Old School Baptists are so frequently charged with denying to others, the right of doing what they please with their money, a few remarks on this subject may not be unreasonable. It is said that we would deprive brethren the privilege of giving a ninepence, or a six-cent piece to the missionaries, &c. But let us examine the subject; and would to God that those who thus charge us, and those who received these charges, were disposed to judge candidly.

BROTHER BURRIT'S LETTER AGAINST BEEBE (TROTT) 1840

Brother Beebe: Brother R. Burritt’s letter, in the second number of the present volume of the Signs, contains so grave and severe a charge against you, in your editorial capacity, that I think the friends of the Signs are called upon to step forward and vindicate that paper from those charges, in self-justification, if nothing else, for patronizing it. if no other communication comes forward in its defense, you may publish the following if you please. Although I feel ashamed of occupying so great a portion of the Signs as I shall do if all my communications recently sent out on our published.

ZECHARIAH 1.8 (TROTT) 1856

DEAR BROTHER BEEBE: – A sister has requested my views on the parable of the barren fig tree, and another sister has by letter requested my views on Zech. 1:8, through the SIGNS, and as I have not much to say on either, I will include my views of both in one communication.

ANTINOMIANISM EXAMINED AND ITS RELATION TO ARMINIANISM SHOWN (TROTT) 1839

BROTHER BEEBE: – I received a letter a short time since from Bro. P. Meredith, in which he requests me also to give my views of the text, Job 28:7,8, about the enquiry whether there is not a path which passes between the sand bars of Arminianism and the granite rocks of Antinomianism.

THE SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY (SANTAMARIA)

[It seems to us that the issue of a church's responsibility of support of their minister is unquestionable.  The finances of the church are NOT to be run as a mere ledger sheet, as if God did not exist.  The finances of a church are to be run according to faith in the Lord's supply, like all other matters in a Christian's life! - ed]

The Cosmic Battle

WITHDRAWN LETTER 2/3 (TROTT) 1834

Although the letter addressed to our pastor by this minority cast several harsh and unjust reflections upon us as a church, and upon certain individuals, yet as we did not then know their intention of circulating copies of it far and wide, to the injury of our pastor abroad, and as we entertained the hope that some if not all who signed it, would on reflection, be disposed to recall it, we thought it advisable not to notice it for a season. As to any reasons which they assigned for separating from us, we considered him perfectly nugatory; for they all center on the one charge of submitting to be blindly led by priestcraft; and this stands openly contradicted, by every transaction in the case, from the called meeting in February onto the regular meeting in June. Although at our called meeting in February

REGRESSIVE SANCTIFICATION (CROWLEY)

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians “… our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance …” He warned the Galatians “ … though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

VIEWS ON ELDER PARKER’S TWO-SEED SYSTEM (TROTT)

Brother Beebe: - Having been requested by a brother in Missouri to give him my views on the TWO SEED System, as also on a part of the ninth chapter of Romans, I have concluded to send my answer through the Signs of the Times, if you will publish them.

THE LIGHT OF GOSPEL SIMPLICITY (TROTT) 1834

BROTHER BEEBE: – Although full, heart and hand, with things requiring my attention, and the difficulties with which I am encompassed, and arising principally from the bitter opposition of those who have claimed to be Old School Baptists, yet I cannot let the last number (the 16th) of the SIGNS pass without dropping you a line upon its contents.

ENQUIRIES CONCERNING THE SABBATH AND THE LORD’S DAY. (TROTT) 1856

Brother Beebe: I received a letter a short time since from brother Thomas McColl, of Canada West, requesting my views on Rev. 1:10, with a general reference to the observance of the first day of the week as a Sabbath. I have thought to address him, in answer, through the Signs; but if you think I am crowding too many communications upon you (as I have recently sent you several) for the prosperity and usefulness of the Signs, will you be so good as to enclose this in another envelope and send it to him? You know his post-office address; if otherwise, you will please publish it in its course.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE "PREPARATION" OF SERMONS

[With all the talk of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is natural for Arminians to use it for "preparing" a sermon (whatever that means).  We will examine it from an Old School Baptist Perspective - ed]
