"Much interest is being manifested at the 7:30 evening Gospel Service and the subject concerning the Second Coming of Christ.  It is not only helpful. Instructive and interesting but brings those vital teachings about the most important and yet sadly neglected teaching of which the Word of God is filled."

What We Believe and Teach      Believing that it will be of interest to many of the church news readers to have  further information brought before them regarding the Gospel Chapel, as to    its    objectives    and principles, we shall by the kind courtesy of the Editor of "The Lombard Spectator" which we much appreciate, hope to bring before you some of the features which characterize the above work in Lombard.      We are now almost four years old,  the  Chapel  being  first opened March, 1928.      We wish to attribute all praise and glory to God when we say that these four years have been rich in spiritual blessing. We have not one thirty to boast about.  Any good that has been accomplished has been entirely by the help of God. We face the new year with no debt upon our hands whatsoever. All working expenses have been met, considerable sums of money have been regularly sent out to missionaries in many parts of the world.  Home missionary work in our  own  land  has  not  been forgotten, and local needs have been ministered to.  No public collection has ever been taken up at our services, never have we solicited    individuals    for subscriptions,  or resorted to any of the many methods often used to raise money for church support. How These Needs Have Been Met      We find that in the Bible full instruction regarding the support of the Lord's work has been given.  We have sought in some measure to follow these instructions. We have found them to be true, and for four years experienced that God honours His Word.   How simple many church problems would become if only people believed God, and obeyed Him.   Christ himself said "Ye will not believe Me, because I tell you the truth."  People are  saying today "You cannot believe  the Bible in a literal way." Well the Gospel Chapel says-- "Thy  Word is true from the beginning."  For four years we have proved it  along  financial  support,  and  found the Bible method works.

What We Believe and Teach At the Gospel  Chapel we believe and teach that next to the gift of Jesus Christ as the sinner's Savior, and the Holy Spirit, that God's greatest gift to man is the Bible.      We   believe   the   Bible contains   from   Genesis   to Revelation a divine revelation of God in relation to mankind. We believe that there is not one single contradiction of doctrine in. the whole book.   There are some apparent contradictions in the book, but when studied in their several connections are not so in reality.      We believe that the records of all things in the Bible are recorded for man's highest good, under direct inspiration from God.  Not that God inspired all the   deeds   that   scripture records,  but rather that God inspired men of old to record these acts that men might learn God's  attitude  to  sin  and righteousness. God did not speak every word in the Bible, nor did He inspire every act, but God did cause these words and acts to be recorded.            The Bible is credible, that is, it is worthy to be believed. We believe that the Bible is given to us in life, and that where people have a Bible they will be held responsible to God for not knowing it and believing its records.   "The scriptures cannot be broken."          Salvation      We believe that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" and that because of this fact, all are eternally lost apart from the salvation that God  in grace has provided for all who will  believe.   God's way of  salvation is very clear.              "Ye Must Be Born Again"_the necessity of a new birth is universal.  No  sex,  position, religion, or any other condition exempts   anyone   from   this necessity.  Not to be born again is to be eternally lost.   Our first birth by nature was an entering into life, and with it came our natural life. God says "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."   We may educate, cultivate, and morally improve,   and   become   very religious in this natural life of ours, but all that will in no way fit you for heaven.  "Ye must be born again."  This second birth is a miraculous work of God. "Born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."  It is absolutely the work of God.             The inspired writer Peter tells us how we are born again. He says "Being born again not of corruptible   seed,   but   of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."  Whosoever will believe what God has recorded about His son Jesus Christ, of how he died for our sins as lost sinners, and is willing by faith to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior that person will be born again. The new birth is a new life, not mere religion.  "Ye must be born again. "

What We Believe and Teach      We believe that there is no subject that has to do with Christian life and service that is   more   important   than prayer.      In II Chronicles chapter 7, verse 12,13, we read _      "The  Lord appeared unto Solomon by night and said unto him. . . If I shut up heaven that there be no rain,  or  if  I command the locust to devour the  land,  or  if  I  send pestilence among my people, if my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."            Here lies the solution for the economic depression which lies upon our beloved land and people.            But who among us believes in this solution?  Who cares these days for God's message? Where are those who have a real vital faith in the old Bible? And the echo answers--          "Where"?      Tennyson   wrote-   "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."          Another poet has written:      "Prayer is the breath of God  in Man,  Returning  whence  it  came.  Love the secret fire within,  Prayer  the  siring  flame?"         Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer, except that which lies  outside  the  will  of God."          "Lord teach us to pray"

What We Believe and Teach      Many today deny a personal Devil.  It is just a product of the ignorance and superstition of bygone days, ugly fiction intended  to  frighten  weak minded people,  this is what many would  have you believe.            The only people who deny the personality of the Devil are those who do not believe the Bible.  From the beginning of Genesis to the last book, the Bible is full of the accounts of the works of the Devil. A more serious charge still lies at the doors of such unbelievers, and it is this; that they would rob the Lord Jesus Christ of all moral integrity, and expose HIM before the world as a false witness.  Over and over again the   Lord   refers   to   the personality of the Devil.  The great work of the Devil is to "blind the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."  All unsaved people are under the power of the Devil.   The Devil hates Christ  and His Word,  hence hatred to Christ and the Bible is seen in all the unsaved people of the world. The Devil is man's most powerful foe, and man is deceived by this being when he denies his personality. Christ Jesus has conquered the Devil at Calvary. Christ Jesus died  as  a  substitute  for sinners, that by faith in that death, sinners might be saved from the Devils eternal place of    torment,    which    is everlasting fire.  Apart from Christ  Jesus  there  is  no salvation.  But HE is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him. We at the Gospel  Chapel  believe  in a personal Devil, and also in a personal living, risen Christ who is a mighty Savior for all who receive HIM by faith.            Come to our services.

What We Believe and Teach February 18,1932      The  Second  Coming  of Christ.  We believe that Jesus is coming again to earth.  Not to suffer at the hands of men, but to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.  He himself said,  "I  will  come  again." Angels  said  he  would  come again.  "This same Jesus, which is  taken  up  from you  into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."  Could anything be plainer? This does not mean that when death comes to a person that it is the coming of Jesus. The coming of death does not fulfill the words spoken by the angels.      Some  fourteen  hundred times in the Old Testament His coming to reign as a King is spoken of. About three hundred times in the New Testament His second coming is referred to.      The  second  coming  of Christ to reign as King is often ridiculed by teachers, but that does not surprise us in the least, for the scriptures say  "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days  scoffers,...saying,  where is the promise of His coming?"      Scripture also tells us very  plainly  what  sort  of conditions will prevail on the earth at the time of His coming. Listen to Christ's own words on this point.  "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." What were the days of Noah? Scripture tells us that the earth was corrupt, the earth also was filled with violence. All flesh had corrupted his way.    Mankind had  forsaken God's laws, and the wickedness of man was great in the earth. This then will be the exact state  of  things  prior  to Christ' s coming again to earth. Who in Noah's day believed in a flood of judgment? But it came. Who  today,   believes   that judgment is soon to fall upon a Christ rejecting world? But it is coming.  The last days will be marked by much religion. But religion is not Christianity. The Christ life is the test of Christianity,  not  religion. Where is Christ in your life?
