A Summary of R.L. Dabney on Spurious Excitements by Daniel E. Wray
In the October, 1887 edition of The Presbyterian Quarterly Robert L. Dabney published an article with the title, ‘Spurious Religious Excitements’.1 His biographer, Thomas Cary Johnson, said: ‘This paper ought to be read by most ministers once a year.’2 We believe that the ninety-one years since its publication have served to prove the truth of this contention.
Another Gospel by Arthur W. Pink
Satan is the arch-counterfeiter. The Devil is now busy at work in the same field in which the Lord sowed the good seed. He is seeking to prevent the growth of the wheat by another plant, the tares, which closely resembles the wheat in appearance. In a word, by a process of imitation he is aiming to neutralize the Work of Christ.
Charles Finney’s Doctrine of Justification by David H. Linden
Charles Grandison Finney lived in a day when a certain view of justification was in vogue. It would always be in his mind as that other view he did not hold, a view of faith alone as the condition and the obedience of Christ as the foundation. This Reformation doctrine, Finney would turn on its head and bring about a degree of counter reformation within Protestantism that the Roman church in its Council of Trent was never able to secure.
Finney: The Aftermath by Monte E. Wilson
Modern Evangelicalism bears little resemblance to the faith of our Puritan and Pilgrim fathers. Our aim is to make people feel better, theirs was to teach them how to worship God.
Pretenders to Godliness by Thomas Watson
Here is a sharp rebuke to such as are 'glittering dross' Christians, who only make a show of godliness, like Michal, who put 'an image in the bed', and so deceived Saul's messengers (1 Sam. 19: 16). These our Saviour calls 'whited sepulchres (Mau. 23:27) - their beauty is all paint!
The Distinguishing Marks of False Teachers by Thomas Brooks
Satan labors with all his strength by false teachers, which are his messengers and ambassadors, to deceive, delude and forever destroy the precious souls of men.
The Legacy of Charles Finney by Michael S. Horton
Jerry Falwell calls him "one of my heroes and a hero to many evangelicals, including Billy Graham." I recall wandering through the Billy Graham Center some years ago, observing the place of honor given to Finney in the evangelical tradition, reinforced by the first class in theology I had at a Christian college, where Finney's work was required reading.
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney - Part I by Albert Dod
We congratulate the friends of truth and order on the appearance of these publications. We have never had any doubt what would be the decision of the public mind respecting the new divinity and new-measure system of our day, if its distinctive features could be brought out to the light and exposed to general observation.
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney - Part II by Albert Dod
As might have been expected from what has already been said, Mr. Finney denies that there is any such thing as natural depravity. His views on this subject are easily exhibited.
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney - Part III by Albert Dod
We proceed to exhibit to our readers the measures recommended and the spirit displayed in Mr. Finney's Lectures on Revivals. We do this at the known hazard of being denounced as enemies to revivals, and friends of Satan. But it is a very small thing with us that we should be judged of Mr. Finney's judgment.
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney - Part IV by Albert Dod
The way is thus laid perfectly open for the entrance of Finney's converts into the church. But how shall they be kept there? There are two new measures proposed by him that might seem to aim at this end, but both of them inadequate.
