Pastors Paul Washer and Tim Conway preach on a much neglected, despised, but absolutely necessary topic: the hatred of Almighty God. To embrace one aspect of God and reject another is to reject God completely...you either take Him as He is, and believe Him to be who He has declared Himself to be, or you will die in your sins (John 8:24). God is loving, but He is also full of justice, anger, and wrath; and His love can never be understood or appreciated without acknowledging that He is filled with indignation toward the unrighteousness of men.
The statement, "God loves the sinner but hates the sin" is also exposed as a lie in direct opposition to the Scriptures which teach that God's fierce hatred is directed not only toward sin but those who practice it as well (Psalm 5:5-6).
This video contains excerpts from various sermons:
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)
The Bible is the only inspired, inerrant authority for Christian Faith, and it contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness.
Sola Fide (Faith Alone)
Justification is by faith alone. The full righteousness of Christ imputed to us by faith (comprised of His active and passive obedience) is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are remitted.
Solus Christus (Christ Alone)
Christ is Prophet, Priest and King; the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed.
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
Salvation comes by God's grace or "unmerited favor" alone — not as something merited by the sinner. This means that salvation is an unearned gift from God.
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)
All glory is to be due to God alone, since salvation is accomplished solely through His will and action — not only the gift of the all-sufficient atonement of Jesus on the cross but also the gift of faith in that atonement, created in the heart of the believer by the Holy Spirit.
Based on SCRIPTURE alone, we can affirm that justification is by GRACE alone, through FAITH alone, because of CHRIST alone, for the GLORY OF GOD alone.
