The Meaning of Christian Security - D. Shelby Corlett

In this episode, we present a special audio adaptation of a theological classic: “The Meaning of Christian Security”, written in 1939 by David Shelby Corlett. A respected theologian, editor, and educator in the Church of the Nazarene, Dr. Corlett was known for his clarity, depth, and passionate commitment to scriptural holiness and sanctification.
This work is a rich and thoughtful exploration of what it truly means to be secure in Christ—not as a passive guarantee, but as a dynamic, ongoing relationship rooted in faith, obedience, and divine grace. Drawing deeply from Scripture and the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, Corlett offers a vision of salvation that is both hopeful and profoundly responsible.
The essay is organized into five chapters, each unpacking a vital dimension of Christian security:
Security: A Divine Provision
What Is Eternal Life?
Security: A Vital Relationship
Security Through Co-operation
Its Scope
Whether you're a pastor, a student of theology, or simply someone longing to walk more closely with Christ, this timeless message offers clarity, encouragement, and challenge.

JB Chapman sermon, Christ and the Bible, 1940 General Assembly

"The opening day of the Tenth General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene, June 16, 1940, was a memorable one in the annals of the church. The blessing of God was unmistakably present from the opening song until the closing benediction. The morning communion service with Doctor Goodwin's message lifted us to heights of spiritual fellowship with God and with one another. Doctor Williams' characteristically stirring message in the afternoon was a challenge to better things for the days to come. The evening sermon was delivered by Dr. J. B. Chapman. His subject was "Christ and the Bible." It was an eloquent, scholarly and inspiring message that seemed to electrify the congregation of almost 6,000 listeners that crowded the great auditorium. Requests and pleas for the publication of the sermon were made both to the speaker and to the Publishing House executives. Therefore the message is now available, for the benefit of many who heard it and wish to read it as well as hear it, also for the many thousands who were not privileged to attend the service but who through reading this address will be led to a deeper love for the Bible and the Christ of the Bible."
P. H. LUNN
