Apostle Paul by Rembrandt

Though Brother Pink flatly rejects all forms of dispensationalism (several of which are heretical), the following quote is one of the most erudite and yet succinct statements ever penned by a saint of God.  Thank you dear Heavenly Father that we believers of later generations may learn from the men of faith having gone before us; in Jesus’ name, Amen!

“In all God’s works and ways we may discern a meeting together of seemingly conflicting elements—the centrifugal and the centripetal forces which are forever at work in the material realm illustrate this principle.  So it is in connection with divine providence: there is a constant inter-penetrating of the natural and the supernatural.

Arthur W. Pink, Bible Teacher,1886-1952

“So too in the giving of the sacred Scriptures: they are the product both of God’s and of man’s agency; they are a divine revelation, yet couched in human language, and communicated through human media; they are inerrantly true, yet written by fallible men.  They are divinely inspired in every jot and tittle, yet the superintending control of the Spirit over the penman did not exclude or interfere with the natural exercise of their faculties.  Thus it is also in all of God’s dealings with mankind: though He exercises His high sovereignty, yet He treats with them as responsible creatures, putting forth His invincible power upon and within them, but in no wise destroying their moral agency.  These may present deep and insoluble mysteries to the finite mind, yet they are actual facts.”

Arthur W. Pink, The Application of the Scriptures: A Biblical Refutation of Dispensationalism, (Pensacola, Florida: Chapel Library, No Date) pp. 11-12.
