Fundamental Grace- Part III

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me.” (Gal. 1:10-24)

Notice Paul’s words in verse 10, where he differentiates between pleasing man and pleasing God.

Paul understood, first and foremost, that he served at the pleasure of an audience of One – the audience of the Master. He knew his responsibility. He did not take a survey or put stock in the whims of the day. He was not trying to figure out what the crowd was in favor of so he could make everyone happy. In fact, he didn’t even worry too much about what the people in the church cared the most about. His mission was to please God.

We need to get it seared in our minds that, while we may do things publicly or participate in exercises that are seen by others, our only audience that matters as far as eternity is concerned is an Almighty God. We have far too many preachers and populists who are too concerned about what the crowd wants, and that is why they are hesitant to pull the trigger on solid Bible preaching. They are afraid of offending someone, but in their attempts to please men they are displeasing God.

By the grace of God and to His glory, I have never stopped to consider that I should not say something because of whom it might offend. To be honest, there are many things I could have said better or more wisely, but I have never sought to please anyone or been afraid to displease anyone through preaching. If it is in the Bible, I am responsible to tell people what it is. After that it is between them and God to handle the fallout. We cannot compromise the message based on the feelings of a few.

In verse 11 Paul explained the authority of the message. “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.” When something is certified, like a letter, it carries with it an exceptional level of importance. The apostle stressed in this passage that men had no right to change the message of the gospel because they did not invent it, as verse 12 illustrates. “For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

The gospel is the main message of the scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. The Old Testament shows us our need for a redeemer and a substitute, and the New Testament reveals to us that Jesus Christ is that substitute. Many people believe that one can sincerely trust in another way to Heaven, but that is impossible because man did not determine how one gets to Heaven. God did it. As Jesus said in Matt. 14:6, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

You say, “Brother Stancil, is everyone who does not trust Christ going to Hell?” That is the truth, on the authority of God’s Word. In my flesh I would probably change it if I could because I feel bad for people whose loved ones have died without Christ, but I cannot do anything about it. There is no way I can change it because it is not my message to begin with. I am just the messenger. That is why Paul spoke so strongly here about the authority of the message.

 We have a problem with authority in America, especially the younger generations. I am in my early forties as I write this, which is not very old, but I am even concerned with the way younger adults and their children conduct themselves. When I see a small child misbehave in a restaurant, I want to take that little one aside and correct him or her so that the parents can see how their authority should be respected. That could never happen in today’s society because if you dare to say something to another person’s child, that parent will get mad at you and tell you to mind your own business. That attitude spills over into other areas of society, which is why there is no respect for law enforcement, the judicial system, teachers in the classroom, or anyone else.

This has even come into the church. An “authoritarian” preacher who stands up and proclaims, “Thus saith the Lord,” is looked upon with disdain. I do not necessarily command respect because of anything I am or have done, but I represent the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I would rather preach the rest of my life without wearing a tie, but I stand in the pulpit with a suit and tie because of whom I represent. That is the kind of respect for authority I am talking about – it is not about me, but the message. The older I get, the more bothered I am by the way so many people do not respect the holy things of God.

In the next several verses, Paul gives an accounting of his ministry. This begins in verses 13-14 with his RELIGION. “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.”

In his early work, before he met the Lord on the road to Damascus, he was very fervent. You know from reading his epistles that he excelled in study and was a very learned man. He was not just a casual Pharisee or religious person, but he sat at the feet of the greatest religious teachers of that time.

You could go a step further and say that he was fierce. Many people in today’s society would describe him as a zealot or a far right-wing radical.

Someone in my church recently told me, “My friends are starting to think I’m taking this church thing a little too far.”

“When you become a follower of Jesus, all of your old friends will think that way,” I replied. People don’t mind if you are a follower of religion, but they hate it when you are a follower of Jesus because that requires a totally different level of commitment.

Paul had been so intense in his persecution of Christians that he became famous for his hatred of them. We know from the scriptures that when Paul initially wanted to join the church, other Christians were afraid and skeptical of him because his reputation preceded him. Knowing how he had imprisoned so many and had others put to death, and so shortly after he sat at stoning of Stephen, they wanted to take it slowly and see if he was for real.

But for all of his fervor and fierceness, the religion espoused by the man known as Saul was false. Our world today has gorged itself on religion, and millions of people around the globe have allowed themselves to become indoctrinated and controlled by a church that does preach the true gospel. Those who sincerely put their trust in religion alone will die and enter into eternity lost.

Religion is the great numbing tool of Satan, who loves nothing more than for people to sit back and rest on the false security that they are all right because they go to church. It is possible that more people enter Hell through the doors of the church and than any other way, because they believe that church attendance is enough. When a lost person hears, “You must be born again,” that sedative we call religion is activates and soothes the soul into thinking, “I’m OK.”

I am so thankful that I will not have to take part in the Great White Throne judgment of God, but I am afraid that we who stand there witnessing that event with Him will see many people we knew as active members of churches just like ours, but they never individually confessed their own need for Christ because they bought into the idea that religion by itself was enough.

You can go to church from the time you are born until the time you die and not become a Christian – just like living in a garage does not make you a car, as the old saying goes. You listen to preaching week after week and Satan slips in spiritual Novocain to make you relaxed and comfortable in your condition. That is not of God, and any religion not of God is false religion.

In verses 15-16 Paul talked about his CONVERSION. “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.”

Notice how he referred to God’s movement in life in verse 15. Do you realize that, in order for you to be saved, it must be God moving toward you and not you moving toward God? I hope you don’t take that statement the wrong way, because I do not have a Calvinist bone in my body, but you had better respond when the Spirit of God quickens you. People who talk about how they will get saved “some day” are playing a dangerous game, because the Lord said in Gen. 6:3, “My spirit shall not always strive with man.”

There is a time in every person’s life when the Holy Spirit moves as if to say, “Today is the day. The time is now.” The Spirit of God makes alive that which is dead so that a lost person can respond to the gospel. If you do not respond, the Holy Spirit might leave you alone. After that you might search for a place of repentance but never find one.

Paul’s conversion required separation. God wants everyone to be saved but also knows who will eventually accept Him and who will not. When Paul mentioned that the Lord “separated me from my mother's womb,” he did not mean that he was predestined. God knew Paul would one day trust Him on the road to Damascus, and He had a plan for his life all along. We do not know who will eventually be saved, so it is our responsibility to tell as many as we can and let them have that opportunity.

His conversion resulted in service. He immediately attempted to join himself to other believers, and he repeatedly wanted to know what the next step in his Christian life should be. A good sign of genuine conversion is a desire to be obedient in baptism and church attendance, along with a yearning to know Him better and live for Him.

I believe Paul’s attitude could be expressed this way: “I gave fervent service to ‘religion,’ so now that I am born again I can do nothing less than give fervent service to Jesus Christ.”

Someone once said that if you win a good Catholic person to Christ, you will produce a great Christian. Such a person who has been indoctrinated for years in duty, religion and methodology now has the grace of God shining in the heart and has the opportunity to serve Him not out of obligation or to try to earn a ticket to Heaven, but out of grace and love because Heaven is already assured.

Paul’s conversion was reinforced by the Spirit. He knew that God had moved inside of him, and as he wrote in II Cor. 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

When God moves in and takes up residence in a person’s life, some things change immediately. I cannot know another man’s heart, but at times I can determine his lost condition by the evidence in his life, because “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matt. 7:20). If there has never been a desire for spiritual things in someone’s life, that is a big problem.

Paul talked about his EDUCATION in verses 17-20. “Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.”

His teacher was the Lord Jesus Christ. He didn’t seek out anyone else, as we see in verse 17, but he spent three years on the backside of the desert studying one-on-one with Jesus.

Paul was an apostle, and the requirement for being an apostle is to have seen the risen Lord in person. If you see a billboard or an advertisement about a revival meeting with Apostle So-and-So, just disregard it. Unless he has seen Jesus, he is just using a biblical term because it sounds cool.

Consider the time involved in his education. We know that Paul already had an extensive knowledge of the Old Testament, having learned at the feet of Gamaliel. Now think about the three years he is talking about in this passage. That is the same length of time Jesus spent in His earthly ministry training the disciples. That is probably what Paul was learning during this time, and there could be no better teacher.

There is no shortcut to meaningful education and service. A lot of times we want the abridged version when we just need to sit down and take the time to learn what we need to know.

His testing is noted in verses 18-19. He saw no one for three years but then visited Peter and James. Why those two? Peter, as we all know, was the vocal leader of the early church, while James became the senior pastor of the church at Jerusalem. Those men were the authority figures of the early church movement, and Paul visited them so they could prove him. He had learned enough to know that he should not be sent out on their behalf without a proper vetting process, so that Peter and James could put their stamp of approval on his ministry.

That is a principle we should continue to apply in our churches today. Individuals do not start churches; churches start churches. A situation arose in Texas where a man began a ministry a few blocks away from our church, reaching out to the homeless and people struggling with substance abuse. One day he announced that it was a church, and it wasn’t long before the lawsuits and complaints began to surface. I followed it in the local media, and when he was asked under what authority he was established, he said, “None. I just started a church.” He got himself into a mess because of the unscriptural way he started his church.

Notice in verse 20 Paul’s truth. He understood the importance of being true to the Word of God. If I were to stand in the pulpit and say something contrary to the Bible, the problem would be with me, not the Bible. The same goes for any other preacher.

In verses 21-24 he outlined his VOCATION. “Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me.”

We see in verse 21 that he went right to work. In the beginning he was unknown to the churches. In fact, early passages in Acts refer to “Barnabas and Paul,” not “Paul and Barnabas.” Make sure that your motive for service is not to be known by others, because that is fleeting praise. I would rather be known by God and not known by anyone else in the world. If you are known to God, you are in good company.

He had unction to preach. If God stirs you to do something, just go to it. If you wait until you think you have everything ready, you will never do it. There is a need for training and preparation, but there is a time when you have to step out by faith and just do it. Where God leads, God provides.

A great truth in verse 24 is the ultimate glory to God that was given in his life and ministry. What will your epitaph be? For what will you be remembered? The best thing that could be said about you is that God was glorified through your life.

Too many of us live for ourselves or for the moment. Let’s live for what God can do through us.

Why I Have Not Left The Independent Baptist Church

At one time or another over the years, I have been tempted to leave my position as an Independent Baptist and take the title of Bible or Non-Denominational pastor. I have seen what goes on in the circle, movement, or fellowship that is known as the Independent Baptist world and have  wanted to distance myself from it as far as possible. The attitudes and actions of some have made me sick to my stomach and have caused me to deeply evaluate why I am an Independent Baptist. I think many times it would be so much easier to no longer identify myself as an Independent Baptist and just start from scratch. But I haven't left yet; and the truth be told, I never will.


Now I am the first to admit that there are great problems in the Independent Baptist world. For those that do not know, I was born and raised at one of the flagship churches of the movement when it was at its hay day in the 1970's, the Forrest Hills Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia under Dr. Curtis Hutson. My father was a staff member there from its early days until it was recognized as the fastest growing church in Georgia and was home to one of the largest bus ministries in the nation. In 1977, we moved from Atlanta to Murfreesboro, Tennessee where we attended Franklin Road Baptist Church. At that time, the church was home to both The Sword of the Lord, which is where my father worked for the late Dr. John R. Rice, as well as the home to The Bill Rice Ranch under the leadership of Dr. Bill Rice. During those years, the Sword was the voice of the movement with no equal. I attended three Independent Baptist Colleges, Maranatha, Tennessee Temple, and Midwestern. Now for the past 17 years, I have been an assistant and pastor at three Independent Baptist Churches in Michigan, Texas, and now Florida. I have sat on boards of colleges and other ministries and have seen the inner workings of it all. So for many of my 44 years, I have been in, around, and behind the scenes of churches, colleges, and ministries of the Independent Baptist movement. I give you all of that background to simply tell you, I know things I wish I did not know. I know which famous evangelist never paid for his Bible orders. I know which pastors preached one thing in the national meeting and lived another thing at home. I know the preacher who stole a copyrighted book and made it his own by changing a few words. I know who hates who, who will not speak to who, and who is jealous of who. I know which ministries live on the verge of bankruptcy, and which pastors and leaders have red flags about their personal finances and how they use the ministry's finances for their own wants. I know about the adultery, the cult accusations, the mistreatment of members, the egos, megalomaniacs, and the preaching that is more psychology than Bible. Now many of you may know much more than I know, but the point simply is that I am not a novice when it comes to being an Independent Baptist.

Some will read all this and say that one, a few, or all of the above are the reasons why they left or are leaving an Independent Baptist Church. They will say that since I have seen all this, I too should leave the movement and join a different one. The reason I do not do that is very simple. All of the things I have listed are behavior issues not belief issues. The vast majority of Independent Baptists I know still hold the the same doctrinal position our forefathers fought and left denominations over in the birthing of the independent movement. Our forefathers did not leave the Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions over behavior, they left over belief (doctrine). Our colleges and the great majority of our churches still teach and preach the cardinal doctrines of the faith. We still practice the authority of the Scriptures, the autonomy of the local church, shepherd leadership, the winning of souls, the worship of God and so on. If I were to join a new fellowship, make new friends, or join a new denomination it would not be long before I am confronted with behavior issues not unlike the ones I would be running from. If men are involved, sin will be involved. The reason I stay is not because of behavior but because of belief. If I ever did find a group that is closer to New Testament Christianity than a solid Independent Baptist Church, I will be the first to join; and I will beg you to come with me. But if I leave because of the behavior of some, it will not be long before I would have to leave again.

In truth the great number of Independent Baptist Churches are filled with pastors and people who love God and genuinely want to help people come to Christ and live for Him. I choose not to abandon the great beliefs of the Independent Baptist Church because of the carnal and cult-like behavior of some of its pastors and members. I do choose to distance myself from those men and ministries. While I am not the enemy of those men and ministries, I will not be silent on their behavior as it affects our church or my friends. For far too long, we have sought to defend all things Independent Baptist instead of protecting those being hurt by these cult-like men and ministries.


I stay an Independent Baptist because of belief in the Bible not because of the behavior of a few of the brethren.

Fundamental Grace Part II

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But 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. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” (Gal. 1:6-9)

Belief is expressed by behavior. Your actions tell the world whether you are coming from a point of belief or going toward a point of belief.

Everyone you know believes something, even if we don’t all believe the same thing. What you believe will determine the way you act or react in certain situations. This means it is very important that your belief be right, because then your behavior can be dealt with scripturally.

If you have a belief system that is contrary to the Word of God, it will reveal itself through your actions and how you react to circumstances in your life. Circumstances will put pressure on you, and your response does not cause a certain belief but reflects what you already believe. Life does not make you the person you are; it reveals the person inside you.

It is vital that we understand this as we study Galatians. This is a church that had a belief problem, and the Apostle Paul knew it needed to be corrected first, after which the behavior correction would follow. In our independent Baptist churches over the years, we have focused on behavior so much and spent so little time teaching on belief that our people’s actions became what they believed. Some received the truth and made it their belief system, but too many simply conformed to outward actions.

What do you believe? That is the mark of your spirituality. So many people go to church for the wrong reasons – they like the pastor, or the music, or the location. We have a generation of young Christians who have not been grounded in their beliefs. If you go to enough people in your church and ask them questions about what they believe in certain areas, you would be shocked by some of the answers you get. These are the people who have spent years conforming outwardly but have never nailed down a good core belief system.

We need to be preaching about the holiness of God and His demands. If you see God as Isaiah saw Him, “high and lifted up” (Isa. 6:1), your behavior will take care of itself.

I can tell in many cases what you are reading and who you are listening to by the way you act. I can look at what a particular church is doing and often know who that church is following or patterning itself after. You are either operating from a specific belief system or moving into another one.

With that in mind, notice in verse 6 THE ASTONISHMENT OF PAUL. “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.” He was astonished at the Galatians because of the speed of their departure from the faith.

I was talking one day to a missionary who visited my church, and we discussed how often a missionary can come back to the United States after four or five years on the field and visit a supporting church that is very different from what it was before he left. A veteran missionary will see that several times over the course of his ministry.

Your church and mine are only one generation from liberalism and compromise. We have often heard it said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” It would be simpler, but just as accurate, to say, “Everything rises and falls.” Look at the founding of our nation and examine the colleges and the churches that proclaimed the truth in those early days but are now the epitome of modernism and liberalism. A church that stays the same through multiple generations is an anomaly, more the exception than the rule.

Churches change because people are involved in churches. God does not change, and neither does His Word or His Spirit, but people are another matter entirely. Paul was amazed at what the people at the church in Galatia had done. He had planted this church on a previous trip and gone away for a few years, but he discovered some incredible changes in that time.

Verse 6 reflects Paul’s astonishment at the source of their salvation. The phrase “removed from him” refers to the church’s abandonment of Jesus Christ. Paul essentially said, “It doesn’t matter whether you listen to me, but the fact that you have turned away from Christ and His message of salvation is amazing to me.”

It is interesting to hear people talk about why they leave certain churches. Often it is because they are sick of a particular man or movement (which was created by men). Those who abandon the Lord’s church because of men have the wrong source of salvation. A man doesn’t save you; neither does a movement or a church. Keep your eyes on the Savior.

I tell my congregation that they should follow me as long as I follow Christ, but once I stop doing that they should keep following Christ, not me.

The final words of verse 6 reveal Paul’s astonishment at the seduction of another gospel. Other men had come in and made some major changes, placing too much emphasis on the law and telling people they must do this and that, until Paul finally said, “Wait a minute. You just came out of that kind of heresy. Why are going back into it?” He had taught them about salvation by grace through faith, and now they were turning away from that and being drawn back into what they had believed in the past.

This passage does not tell us why the Galatians were motivated to do these things, but I can speculate about it somewhat. For one thing, man at his core is filled with pride, and it is hard for many people to accept the fact that they cannot do anything to earn their own salvation or to assist God with their salvation. Religious things often appeal to people because they want to do something they can feel good about, thinking that they have helped make their salvation happen.

In the past few decades we have seen a number of battles on salvation-related issues such as “lordship salvation” (through which hardly any of us would be saved) and the importance of repentance from every sin you have ever committed (I can barely remember all of my sins from the past two days). I believe that repentance and faith are like Siamese twins; you can hardly separate them. You repent from your sin, recognizing your lost state, and trust by faith in Jesus Christ.

The newest issue is Calvinism, or the question of who can even be saved. Is it true that “whosoever will may come,” or is it just a select group? Did Christ die for the sins of the entire world? Here is an easy way to look at it: Whenever you see the word “all” in the Bible, it means “all.” It’s that simple.

I haven’t even gotten into issues from other denominations such as water baptism, speaking in tongues, etc. How do we manage to fight about all of these things regarding the gospel? It all boils down to pride. People think to themselves, “I know more than the average person. I’ll straighten everybody out.” Because of that type of thinking, thousands of people are drawn into these seductions.

My philosophy is this: “Keep it simple, stupid.” I just want to know what the Bible says, not what somebody says. Instead of worrying about whether I am one of the elect, I will just remember that the Bible says, “For God so loved the world.” I am part of the 100 billion or so who have lived on this planet since Adam and Eve, and Christ died for every single one.

Verse 7 shows us THE ADVERSARY OF THE GOSPEL. “Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” Not every person who shows up in your own church is automatically on Jesus’ team. Some could even be sent by the Evil One to deceive people and disrupt the work of the gospel. Part of the pastor’s role as shepherd is to guard the sheep against the enemy.

Always be wary of the person who is too good to be true. When you hear about all the great things So-and-so did at the past eight churches he attended and how he wants to jump in and start teaching your folks, slow down for a minute. Paul wrote in I Tim. 5:22, “Lay hands suddenly on no man.” You need to watch him for a little while to be sure.

I am not responsible for any other church except my own. There is no place in the Bible that says I am to be the Holy Spirit for any other person. I am only the shepherd for those in my church. I think we would have a lot fewer problems if every Christian worried more about his or her own church and less about everyone else in this regard. Guard against those who would come into your church and advance another gospel.

There are dozens of churches in the Tampa Bay area, where I am a pastor, that are crazy where their doctrine is concerned. I don’t get in my pulpit and rail against most of them because my congregation does not know who they are anyway. If those false preachers are on radio or television, however, I will warn my people because of the possible effect those broadcasts could have on my church.

What are some of the adversaries of the gospel? One of them is pluralism. It troubles me to think about how few of our young people have a firm grasp of the concept of Biblical salvation. So many of our unlearned teens have been taught by their parents and other churches that doing good is the main requirement to get to Heaven.

The opening phrase of verse 7 says that this other gospel “is not another.” It is not another gospel, but a false teaching. It saddens me that millions more will be condemned to Hell by religion than by paganism. Pluralism says that all roads lead to Heaven, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Jesus is not a good way to be saved, or the best way. He is the only way.

False preachers are adversaries. They are the ones Paul wrote about “that trouble you.” I am not talking about the ones you see on television; I am referring to the ones who would work in your church. That is why we are so careful at our church about who would teach a Sunday school class to our adults or our children.

Dr. Harry Carr, one of my mentors and a man I consider a hero of the faith, was pastor of a church and discovered after some time that a sweet lady in her seventies or eighties, who had been teaching Sunday school for many years, was teaching Jehovah’s Witness doctrine. He was stunned by this and realized that he needed to give more consideration to what his teachers were doing in Sunday school. Every one of our classes should be learning the same things from the Word of God that we are preaching from the pulpit.

My father-in-law, while on the mission field, had a man come in who began teaching that baptism was necessary for salvation. This can easily happen on the mission field, and it can happen in our churches here if we are not careful. We must be clear about what our people are teaching and make sure we all are on the same page.

Perversions of the gospel are adversaries. It would be easy to spot a lie if it walked up to you and announced, “I am a lie.” False teachers would be easy to identify if they wore signs around their necks. But perversions come into our lives disguised as truth. “We’re not going to change a lot, just a little bit.”

This is one reason our church only preaches and teaches from the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. We don’t want a bad translation to get into our midst, and this is the best way to guard against that. When a verse reads “a young woman conceived” instead of “a virgin conceived,” that is a perversion.

We don’t jump on the bandwagon of every new thing that comes down the road. We want to wait and see if it is proven. That is a Biblical principle. David went to war with men who were proven in battle, and he liked to go with what he knew. He certainly could have killed Goliath with Saul’s sword if the power of God was upon him, but he was unsure about the sword himself. He knew he could count on the stones and his sling because he had put down a lion and a bear with them. Those instruments were proven in his eyes.

If the foundation is unstable, it won’t be long until the structure crumbles. When an organization starts mixing doctrine, sooner or later something will have to give. There is one thing that is certain about compromise: the stronger position will always give in to the weaker position. When liberals and conservative compromise, it means conservatives will have to go toward the liberal side, never the other way around. This is true in politics as well as Christianity, because the conservative side is viewed as too narrow.

If the devil walked into your church this Sunday, he would be attractive. He would be talented and articulate, and you would possibly leave thinking, “Wow, what a great sermon!” A person with spiritual discernment would notice that he said 99 things that were great and one thing that was just a little bit questionable. That’s how it starts.

I have heard a preacher say something and thought to myself, “What a great thought.” A few hours later and I would consider it again and think, “But it’s not Biblically correct.” It might sound awesome, but it is not grounded in truth.

When I was in Texas there was a local event every year that brought evangelical teens to a theater for a concert with preaching and other activities. People told me how fantastic it was, so I checked it out and discovered that I could not agree with the doctrinal statement and several other aspects of the program. For twelve years, at the same time every year, I heard the pleas from people in my church and answered, “No.”

I could have let our group participate in this event and it would not have destroyed the church – at least not the first time. But it’s not the big catastrophic things that bring down a church. It’s the little slides here and there over a period of time. You let your guard down here and there, and one day you realize that everything is different.

Let’s look at THE ACCURSED WARNING in verses 8-9. “But 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. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

Paul repeats himself in these verses, which we know is a sign that God wants to make this point especially strong. It is as if He is saying, “Listen up. This is extremely important.”

We must be aware of the source of the message. “Oh, we know Brother Stancil. He is a good man.” Good men can change. In fact, I am amazed at how many good men have compromised over the years. A good friend of mine, who has been in the ministry four or five decades, told me recently that he had quit preaching about certain things “because I just got tired of fighting the same battles year after year.” He just decided to let it go, and many other preachers have done the same.

You may recognize the name of a preacher and assume everything is fine, but you have to make sure he is preaching from the Word of God. If I stand up in the pulpit and start talking about my own philosophy or some dream I had as if it is our new direction, my church needs to direct me someplace else.

We must be aware of the substance of the message. Is it the true gospel? Aside from the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel. We have to protect our message. Whenever you stand up to proclaim it behind a pulpit or in a Sunday school class, make sure you have searched the scriptures and know it is there.

A man came up to me recently after a service and asked me about a particular point. “Where in the Bible did you find that?” he asked. I love it when my people ask those kinds of questions. What I say must always be in line with what the Bible says. I love to hear topical messages and preach one from time to time, but I believe the duty of the pastor is to explain, verse by verse, the Word of God.

We must be aware of the sentence of a false messenger. If someone preaches a false doctrine, what should we do? The word “accursed” in these verses is pretty strong, and we should not take such a thing lightly.

The false messenger should be ejected from the ministry and degraded from the office. We need to make it clear that we do not endorse those teachings, because someone could spread that heresy in another place and then say it had previously been preached in your church. You don’t want that kind of reputation for your church. If you leave a church where I am pastor and you do so in the wrong way, you will not get a good recommendation from me. I have a responsibility to protect the integrity of my church.

If a false teacher does not get right, he will have to be cast out of the church. Would it be wise to let him stay and contaminate others? No, the word “accursed” means “out.” He is to be abhorred by men. You should not have fellowship with unfruitful workers of darkness, who espouse doctrinal error and open rebuke to the things of God. He is accursed by God and will be judged one day for his actions.

“Doctrine divides. Let’s not quibble over doctrine. We need to come together in unity.” These kinds of statements have been made hundreds of times in the past few years, but nothing could be further from the truth. If we are not built on doctrine, we have nothing. I want everyone to get along, but we must do it on the basis of the Word of God.

Mama, Uncle Donald, Harry Carr, Books, and Me

My mother loves books.  She was always reading something and talking about books.  As a child I was taught a love for books from her.  While I now read a lot on a Kindle, I still love the feel and smell of a good book.  When I asked her why she loved to read so much she told me that it was her Uncle Donald that taught her as a little girl to love books.  One of my the first books I was ever given, that I still have in my personal library, is a biography of Walt Disney given to me by Uncle Donald.  I read as a child all the Hardy Boys books.  I have ridden the trails and rivers with Jubal Sackett and the Sackett family, and I have saved the world on many occasions with Mack Bolan.  As I got older, I read great Southern classics like "Don't sit under the grits tree with anyone else but me", "Shoot low boys; they're riding Shetland ponies", "They tore out my heart and stomped that sucker flat", "Chili dogs always bark at night", and "Elvis is dead, and I don't feel so good myself" as well as others written by the great American Lewis Grizzard from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.  I read a lot of biographies and a lot of history.  I read funny books, war books, western books, mystery books, and pretty much any other kind of books you could find.  Needless to say I am a big book fan.

As a young man I remember Dr. Curtis Hutson saying often how important reading was and he stressed the reading of biographies of successful men and women in both spiritual and secular endeavors.  When I became a student at Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan one of my most influential professors, Dr. Harry Carr, taught us the value of books in ministry.  He explained that a good library was essential to our growth as a Christian, husband, pastor, preacher, friend, and counselor.  One of the highlights of each year was our trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan where we would visit all the old book houses and find ancient copies of great books, most of which were out of print and outdated for the current theological trends.  Dr. Carr would always give us a list of good books, teach us about the authors, and what each publisher's doctrine or position might be on specific issues.  We would have a big meal at a German restaurant and come back with many volumes of books that would become the seed books for our future libraries. 

Over the years, the books have come and gone; and the library has steadily increased in size.  It is not a mega library, but it is good size and many of the works in it mean a great deal to me.  Some of the books I value not because of the book itself but because of who gave it to me.  Such is my Oliver B. Greene commentary set.  I love Dr. Greene, but the set is more valuable to me because Floyd, Sherrie, and Louise Miller gave it to me.  They are all now in heaven, and I treasure the books because of my love for them.  Other books have signatures in them that can never be gotten again; while other books have brought me great joy or taught me valuable truths. 

Last year several of our volunteers got together for the task of organizing the church edition of my library.  I have a good number of books at home, but the majority are on my shelves here at the church.  It was a great idea, they thought, until they got into it and realized what the tasked involved.  After many hours of work, they had cataloged and organized my entire library. Now one volunteer has the task of keeping it updated when new volumes are added.  To Sharon and these other ladies, I am forever grateful for this labor of love.

Since I now have access to it on my computer, I thought I would share it with others to see what a crazy, eclectic collection of books I have bought or been given over the years.  Some I have read many times, others never; and some I have used portions or parts of for research or to answer a question. 

I am very thankful that as a boy and a young preacher my uncle, mother, and teacher shared with me their love for books!
