The virgin birth is one of the essential doctrines of the Christian Faith. Yet, some who are considered to be in the mainstream of evangelical Christianity are certainly not in the mainstream of evangelical orthodoxy regarding this and other fundamental doctrines.
For example, William Lane Craig is the director of a ministry called Reasonable Faith. He is also visiting professor at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and a professor of Philosophy at Houston Baptist University. However, in answer to the question, “Are you confident that Jesus was born of a virgin, Craig said, “I’m reasonably confident.”
To reach that level of theological modernity, one must deny:
· The promise God made to Satan in Genesis 3:15, that the “Seed” of the woman would bruise his head, which Jesus Christ did at the cross.
· The prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, “The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”
· The fulfillment of those two promises according to Matthew 1:22-23. “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel.’”
Now, to put Craig’s uncertainty of the virgin birth in the Apostle Paul’s definition of one’s confession of faith, if we are “reasonably confident” Jesus is Lord, and “reasonably confident” God raised Him from the dead, we can be saved. I’m absolutely certain that is NOT what Paul wrote in Romans 10:9-10.
Beloved, the gospel of Matthew was written to prove to the Jews that Jesus was who He said He was, that He did what He said He did, for the reason He said He did it, and that He did it for all who would “believe” in Him – not reasonably confident.

Start the New Year with a 30-day Bible Study: “Rediscovering Your First Love.” Many have found this personal study to be helpful in sorting out the affairs of the flesh and focusing on their intimacy with God.

According to a report released this week by Lifeway Research, most Americans and many Christians do not believe the Son of God existed before the manger.
· Three out of four Americans believe Jesus was born in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, but less than half of them believe Jesus existed prior to that first Christmas morning.
· Ninety-five percent of those who said they were Christians believe Jesus was born in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, but only 63% of them believe the Son of God existed before Jesus was born, which means they do not understand the triune nature of the Godhead, nor God’s plan for our redemption.
Beloved, if Jesus was not the Son of God sent to be our Savior, He died as a martyr, and not our Savior, and we are still lost in our sins. The gospel of Matthew was written to prove that Jesus was the Messiah: The God-sent Savior for all those who will receive Him.

"According to the Pew Research Center, the predominant experience that gives meaning to life is “family!” Regardless of nationality, the common pride of life was one’s relationship with parents, siblings, children, and grandchildren, and the greatest satisfaction in life was to share in the accomplishments of the family. Of course, the pro-globalists would not agree with those intrinsic life values."

Just as God was grieved by the evil he saw in the people of Israel in Amos’ day; He must be even more grieved at the wickedness He sees in His people today.
• We have a more-sure knowledge of God.
• We have witnessed the full and final revelation of God in the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
• We have received the eternal blessings of God’s plan of redemption through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Just as Amos pleaded with God’s people in His day, I’m pleading with God’s people today. Turn your eyes away from the things of the world, even the religious things, and look upon Him who gave His life for our sins and who is soon going to call us home to live with Him forever. In 1 Corinthians 10:11 the Apostle Paul wrote, “These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.”

Heritage Baptist Church | “The Restoration of the Remnant” Amos 9:11-15 Like the children of Israel in Amos’ day, most of God’s people are not walking in God’s ways today. They are religious, and often participate in a worship service, but their hearts are far from Him.
