Departed Words - Segments

Summary
This message focuses on why G.K. Wallace believes Christians should be very cautious about Bible translations, especially in public teaching and worship. He argues that translation choices can shape doctrine, and he spends much of the talk defending the American Standard Version of 1901 and the King James Version as reliable public texts.

Wallace also examines several modern translations and claims they reflect sectarian, ecumenical, Calvinist, or modernist assumptions. His central concern is that altering wording can alter meaning, and that believers should guard carefully against teaching from a text that does not accurately represent God’s Word. 

Summary

G.K. Wallace argues that Christians should treat the Bible with reverence and be careful about which translation they use in worship, teaching, and preaching. He focuses on how different modern versions can reflect theological bias, and why he считает the American Standard Version 1901 and the King James Version safer choices for public use.

Summary

In this lesson, G.K. Wallace argues for reverence toward Scripture and explains why he believes Christians should be careful about which Bible translation is used in teaching and worship. He focuses on the authority of the biblical text, the reliability of manuscript evidence, and the way translation choices can shape doctrine. Wallace’s point is simple and forceful: if Scripture is God’s word, then translation is not a minor issue. He uses several modern versions as examples to show how wording can affect beliefs about Christ, salvation, miraculous gifts, and the new birth.

Summary

This lesson argues that modern theological relativism weakens confidence in Scripture by treating the Bible as flexible, optional, or merely human testimony. G.K. Wallace pushes back by insisting that the Bible is God’s absolute word, and that its authority depends on taking Scripture, words, and commands seriously. He also challenges ideas like “inner” versus “outer” faith, personal encounters, and experience-based religion, saying these are later theological inventions rather than biblical teaching. The message is direct, polemical, and aimed at urging listeners to trust the written gospel over slogans, experiences, or denominational reinterpretations.

Summary

This lesson argues that modern theological relativism weakens Scripture by turning the Bible into something subjective, optional, or merely human. G.K. Wallace traces the issue through Scripture itself, showing how the New Testament presents the Bible as absolute, inspired, and binding. He also warns against replacing the gospel with personal testimony, “inner faith,” or encounter language.

Summary

This lesson argues that modern theology weakens Scripture by treating truth as relative, reducing the gospel to selective ideas, and replacing biblical authority with personal experience. G.K. Wallace presses the case that the Bible is fixed, absolute, and verbally inspired, and that salvation is tied to the gospel as preached, not to private spiritual impressions.

Summary 

In this sermon, G.K. Wallace argues that miracles served a specific role in God’s plan, mainly to confirm revelation and authenticate God’s representatives. He contrasts miraculous power with law, saying miracles were never intended to be permanent, and that the completed New Testament now provides the full revelation believers need. Wallace walks through examples from Moses, Jesus, and the apostles to explain why signs belonged to their era and office. He closes by emphasizing that salvation comes through the gospel, believed and obeyed, not through ongoing miraculous demonstrations.

Summary

This teaching explains where miracles fit in God’s plan and argues that miraculous powers were temporary, serving to confirm God’s representatives rather than continuing as a permanent part of Christian life. G.K. Wallace traces this through creation, Moses, Christ, the apostles, and the closing of revelation.

He also distinguishes between the gospel’s continuing power and the earlier sign gifts, pressing the point that salvation comes through hearing, believing, and obeying the word of God.

Summary

This message argues that biblical miracles were not entertainment or repeatable proof tricks, but unique signs meant to identify God’s messengers and confirm Jesus’ deity. G.K. Wallace warns that copying those miracles can blur the very evidence they were meant to provide.
