In These Last Days is a biblical-theological study of the Epistle of the Hebrews. Its aim is to instruct the reader in the distinctive teaching of this pivotal epistle and the significance it holds for the lives of God's New Covenant people.

In These Last Days

John G. Reisinger has written the booklet, What is the Christian Faith?, to clearly show what the Apostolic gospel is and to also pinpoint several serious distortions of the gospel. It also teaches how the one true gospel should be preached and thereby avoid distorting God's gospel of grace. Using 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Pastor Reisinger sets forth the essentials and not the incidentals of the Christian faith.

What is the Christian Faith?

Reisinger, John G.

In this booklet, John G. Reisinger explores four aspects of the Lordship of Christ over the church. The nature, the extent, and the exercise of his Lordship and modern examples that deny Christ's Lordship. He postulates that one of the most serious theological implications for those who hold to reformed theology is their failure to recognize Christ as the New Lawgiver. This booklet goes a long way in explaining and contrasting the differences between (Old) Covenant Theology and New Covenant Theology.

Christ, Lord and Lawgiver Over the Church

Abraham's Four Seeds is a biblical examination of the presuppositions of Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism. Pastor, evangelist, and author John G. Reisinger demonstrates how a correct understanding of Abraham's seeds is key to harmonizing Scripture. He writes: 
The following statement, if correctly understood, will help to clear up a lot of confusion: The nation of Israel was not the 'Body of Christ,' even though the Body of Christ is indeed the true 'Israel of God.' 
Covenant Theology cannot accept the first part of that statement and Dispensationalism cannot accept the second part. The basic presuppositions of Covenant Theology make it mandatory that Israel be the church and be under the same covenant as the church, and the one thing a Dispensationalist must maintain is the church's present and future distinction from Israel which makes it mandatory that Israel and the church can never be under the same covenant or inherit the same blessings. What is essential to one system is anathema to the other system. 
Dispensationalism cannot get Israel and the church together in any sense whatever, and Covenant Theology cannot get them apart. Dispensationalism cannot see that the church is the true Israel of God and the fulfillment of the promises that God made to Abraham and the fathers, and Covenant Theology cannot see that the church, as the Body of Christ, did not, and simply could not, exist in reality and experience until the personal advent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. Dispensationalism insists that Israel and the church have totally different promises and destinies (one earthly and the other heavenly), and Covenant Theology insists that Israel and the Body of Christ are equally the "same redeemed church under the same 'covenant of grace' and governed by the same identical 'canon of conduct.'" 
Dispensationalism drives a wedge between the OT and the NT and never the twain shall meet as specific promise (OT) and identical fulfillment (NT); and Covenant Theology flattens the whole Bible out into one covenant where there is no real and vital distinction between either the Old and New Covenants or Israel and the church. 
The Old Covenant proved one's guilt and forbade one to draw near without a perfect righteousness or an acceptable sacrifice. The New Covenant declares a believer to be both righteous and acceptable in God's sight, and it bids him come boldly without fear into the very Most Holy place that was totally closed off to all but Aaron under the Old Covenant. 
The law as a legal covenant ended when the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom, and the law as a pedagogue over the conscience was dismissed on the day of Pentecost when the 'promise of the Father' took up his abode in every believer as the personal Vicar of the ascended Lord. The giving of the Spirit is the proof of the accepted work of Christ in the heavenly tabernacle, and the 'given Spirit' indwelling the believer is the indelible assurance of our eternal acceptance by the Father. 
It is the author's desire that this book would be of benefit to those who desire to understand "What does the Scripture say?" May the watchword Sola Scriptura have real meaning in the church!

Abraham's Four Seeds

In this study of the concept of gracetrue, biblical, God-given and God-honoring graceJohn explores three aspects of grace. The first is that grace is an attitude in the heart of God that shows undeserved favor to sinners. Second, grace is a spiritual power that flows from God into a sinner and effects genuine change in that sinner. And, thirdly, grace is the response, in terms of gratitude, worship and service, that flows from those who receive grace. It is the authors prayer that this book may be used such that many of Gods sheep will have their souls fed and will drink deeply from the sweet and refreshing water that flows from the New Covenant in Christ.

The author tells us what prayer is not: Prayer never makes God my servant to give me everything I think I must have in order to make me happy. God is not a 'heavenly bellhop' who carries my suitcase of selfish desires any place I command. Prayer never allows me to either dictate my will to God nor to make God in any way change his mind. God has a fixed plan and his plan is the best plan. God is determined to carry out his plan, and neither our sin nor or 'believing' prayers are going to derail or in any way change God's ultimate decrees (Job 13:13) The author also tells us what true prayer is: True prayer is a frank admission that God is sovereign. When we really pray we admit that the thing is in God's hands alone. We are saying that tomorrow, with all it brings, is not under our control but under his control. It is in his hands and not in ours. Prayer is a joyful surrender to God's sovereign purposes. We are acknowledging that God has the right and power to do whatever seems good to him. We are sying that regardless of what God does tomorrow, we know it is part of the "all things" in Romans 8:28. Prayer is earnestly pleading with God for grace to glorify him regardless of what he does. We are really saying, "Father, give me grace to trust you and act like your child whether you say yes or no."

The Sovereignty of God and Prayer

John G. Reisinger

We Christians in the United States are not what we proclaim ourselves to be. Christ said in Matthew 7:16a, the theme verse for this book, Ye shall know them by their fruits. When I look at our culture today, I do not see bountiful fruit from the body of Christ. We insist on hiding in our comfort zones, mulling over the issues, and failing to see the inter-relationships and consequences of our thinking and actions (or lack thereof). Because of our inaction, we have failed to maintain the rational and orderly process through which we could clearly understand how issues, doctrinal statements, belief patterns, and lifestyles relate to each other and to us. Our outlook on society is fractured, fragmenting life into disjointed single issues. I believe this way of facing todays issues has serious, if not catastrophic, implications for our culture. From the Introduction.

Full Bellies and Empty Hearts

USAF, Clyde F. Autio Maj. General

John G. Reisinger, noted evangelist, author, and teacher of the Word of God for over fifty years continues to enlighten and encourage you, the reader, to explore and understand the truth of Gods Holy Word. 
Election is one of the most maligned and misunderstood truths of Scripture. In this important work, Pastor Reisinger demonstrates with great clarity that the doctrine of election is indeed most clearly taught in the Bible. It is taught in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments; it is taught by Peter, Paul andperhaps to some, surprisinglyJesus. 
John teaches that election is not a doctrine to be feared, but rather one to be embraced and taught so that the people of God might be encouraged to learn that they are brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 NIV).

Chosen In Eternity

John G. Reisinger, noted evangelist, author, and teacher of the Word of God for over fifty years begins this book by stating: “There are basically only two religions in the whole world. The one begins with the free will of man and the other begins with the sovereignty of God. The first tells what “You must do” for God, and the second declares what “God has done for you” that you could not do for yourself. The religion of ‘free will’ pictures salvation as a possibility for all men if they are willing to cooperate with God by believing. The religion of ‘free grace’ presents salvation as a certainty for all of the elect of God because God gives faith as a gift. 
In this book, John investigates and answers, “What does the phrase Total Depravity mean?” and comes away with the clear, biblical answer to man’s great need for a great Savior.

Total Depravity

John G. Reisinger, well-known and well-loved evangelist, author, and teacher of the Word of God for over fifty years continues his series on the "Doctrines of Grace" with this booklet. "Being born again" and "being saved" are not the same thing. They are two parts of one whole but must not be confused. Both are essential to true conversion. It is impossible to experience one without experiencing the other. The question is not one of time and sequence, that is, which is first and which is second, but rather one of cause and effect. Does our faith cause the new birth or does the new birth cause faith? The quesiton, "Why does one person believe and become saved, while another rejects Christ and is lost?" will be answered differently according to our understading of the nature of regeneration. In one case, we will attribute the cause of man's faith to his free will, and in the other case we will give the Holy Sprit the glory for enabling us, by regenerating us, to believe and be saved.
