Recap of 1/29/06
1. The Holy Spirit restrains sin through: human government, Romans 13:1; a sense of judgment to come, Hebrews 9:27; conscience, Romans 2:15; the believer's life; the church; the Word.
2. The "convicting" work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8-11)
-making the message of salvation clear
-"Convict means to convince someone of something, to point something out to someone" (Moody Handbook of Theology)
-the H.S. convicts of sin (the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ), of righteousness (Jesus' has and offers the righteousness that God requires), and judgment (judgment awaits those who reject Christ).
-the H.S. uses the written Word, spoken witness or the preaching of the Word (John 15:26,27; Romans 10:14) directly in the conscience of the unsaved in the work of conviction.

The church's website is back up!
Our website is now located at delriobiblechurch.com. (You can add the www. if you like) Please let us know if there's something you'd like to see there.
Sorry for the change in addresses, but our old web host crumbled underneath us... so we got our own domain. Standby for the email addresses to change too.

"Keeping it Real" Pt. 1
Click here to download the MP3 file. It's 7.7MB and 33 min. long.
Recap of 1/1/06
1. Jesus surprises a Pharisee by not participating in the ritual washing required by the rabbis before a meal. He used this as an occasion to correct their false view of spirituality and to address the hypocrisy, greed, and self-indulgence of the Pharisees.
2. To the Pharisees (and all religionists/legalists) religion is a matter of external form and ritual rather than of the heart (the inner person).
3. It is ludicrous to cleanse the outside and not the inside. Washing the hands (the outside) did not make the heart pure (the inside).
4. The heart is where sin proceeds from (Mark 7:17-23; Matthew 15:15-20) and is not touched by ritual handwashing. True spirituality begins with the heart (and works its way out to the actions) not the hands. The heart must be guarded (Proverbs 4:23) for it is the genesis of our actions. The heart is only touched by the Spirit of God through the Word of God.
