IMARC is an Inter-Denominational Methodist page. It is here to provide a real world view of Biblical Christianity form a Methodist perspective. Our resources have grown since we first enter the world wide web in 1995. It has been a blessing to many since its founding. We would like to invite you to enjoy the materials that we have available for you. You can trust your soul with the information provided on this page. We are Methodist/Wesleyan Arminian, and we make no bones about it. We are here to serve the Bible Believing family of Wesley and particularly Christ our Lord.

Since prophecy seems to be so important, IMARC believes that our Lord will return bodily/physically when he decides so to do. We do not profess any particular view on prophecy except for the above. Yet there are writers who have written on IMARC who do express their views.

"Three Lies About Sin" & How To Become God's Man!


Articles by friends of IMARC which link directly to their web site. Enjoy.

As with any doctrine or theology, people will be passionate for what they believe. There are many appeals to the Scriptures and to logic itself in the defense of controversial subjects. Since those who believe in the doctrine of Eternal Security have many arguments that play to the listeners sense of logic, these should be examined in the light of logic...

"Three Lies About Sin" by Robert Hamilton.
I am shocked at how easily, even in my most rational moments, I can sometimes walk willingly into sin. Even when I know a dozen good reasons why I shouldn't do it, I can be overwhelmed. Sin has a powerful magnetism if we allow ourselves under its spell. Why? I think a big part of the answer is hinted at in the following two passages:

We preachers are charged by the world with being mortally afraid of presenting God's truth as it should be presented. We might as well be honest and own up to it, that we have failed to preach the everlasting Gospel that is able to save a bleeding, dying world. Are we stating the truth of the Son of God anywhere near as it deserves to be stated? "You preachers," said a theater manager to a pastor friend of mine in Salem, Oregon a few years ago, "preach the truth as if it were fiction, and we present fiction as truth. That's why your churches are almost empty and our show houses are filled to capacity."

How To Become God's Man!
    Many people today who believe in the doctrine of evolution. I call it a doctrine because in the last few years there has been some new trends taking place in science. A group of people classified as Intelligent Design scientists, once avowed evolutionists, now say that they see design rather then any chance happenings. Of course, these folks are met with the same savage rage as the Creationists met for the last 50 years or more. This therefore gives even more support to the Gospel of Genesis and the creation epic as recorded there. To any Christian, belief that a chance even millions of years ago started it all was never an option. God brought forth all things, the heavens and earth as he said - by his word. More and more, science is edging closer to this historic Bible truth. One proof, so they say of evolution, are the whales. Listen now to this conversation concerning these beautiful God made creatures.

"To candid, reasonable men, I am not afraid to lay open what have been the inmost thoughts of my heart. I have thought, I am a creature of a day, passing through life, as an arrow through the air. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God: just hovering over the great gulf; till a few moments hence, I am no more seen! I drop into an unchangeable eternity! I want to know one thing, the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way; for this very end he came from heaven. He has written it down in a book! Oh, give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be homo unius libri: "A man of one book." Here then I am far from the busy ways of men. I sit down alone: only God is here. In his presence I open, I read this book; for this end, to find the way to heaven. Is there a doubt concerning the meaning of what I read? Does anything appear dark or intricate? I lift up my heart to the Father of lights. Lord, is it not your word, "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God"? You "give liberally and upbraid not." You have said, "If any be willing to do my will, he shall know." I am willing to do: let me know your will. I then search after, and consider parallel passages to scripture, "comparing spiritual things with spiritual." I meditate thereon, with all the attention and earnestness of which my mind is capable. If any doubt still remains, I consult those who are experienced in the things of God; and then, the writings whereby, being dead, they speak. And what I thus learn, that I teach."

Rev. John Wesley


Brother Gao Zhisheng, We Love You and are Praying for You.
    This brings us to the main point. Recently a Chinese Christian man was stolen from his home in the middle of the night. His name is Gao Zhisheng. His crimes are being a Christian, and fighting for the rights of others. One time before, he was incarcerated for 50 days. He was tortured beyond description.
    I have always found it strange how most modern leaders in Communist, and Socialist countries hate Christianity. Perhaps the reason is that as they want to set up their kingdoms, they run smack into Christ's. Whatever the reason, persecution is the normal out come of Communism, and Socialism. Christ told us that they would do the same to us as to him. But he reminded us that it was done to us because of their hate for Him.
