Mark Driscoll- Vintage Jesus

“
The warm, soft truth is that for those who do love Jesus, this life is as close to hell as they will ever get. Heaven awaits them.”

It has long been my sorrowful conviction that the standard of daily life among professing Christians in this country has been gradually falling. . . . There has been of late years a lower standard of personal holiness among believers than there used to be in the days of our fathers. The whole result [...]

K.P.Yohannan

If we intend to answer man’s greatest problem—his separation from the eternal God—with rice handouts, then we are throwing a drowning man a board instead of helping him out of the water.
- K.P. Yohannan
The profundity of this quote, whilst short, is great. In todays age of “Red-Letter/Social gospelites” (spear headed by Mr. Campolo), this [...]

Apostasy can have far-reaching and disastrous effects on an entire congregation’s spiritual health. When false teaching goes unchallenged, it breeds more confusion and draws still more shallow and insincere people into the fold. If not vigorously resisted, apostasy will spread like leaven through seminaries, denominations, missions agencies, and other Christian institutions. False teaching thus [...]

A.W.Pink

The unregenerate do not really believe in the holiness of God. Their concept of His character is altogether one-sided. They fondly hope that His mercy will override everything else. . . . They think only of a god patterned after their own evil hearts, hence their continuance in a course of mad folly.

Respect, Study, Pray and Meditate on it- don’t just read it like a Harry Potter book!

Yes I thought I knew my Bible, Reading picemeal, hit or miss
Now a part of John or Matthew, Then a bit of Genesis
Certain chapters of Isaiah, Certain Psalms, the twenty-third.
First of Proverbs, twelfth of Romans, Yes, I thought I knew the Word
But I found that thorough reading, Was a different thing to do
And the way [...]

“Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace. When we pray to God for His blessing, He does not examine our performance to see if we are worthy. Rather, He [...]

Todd Friel debunks Campolo with John Macarthur

I am seriously concerned when I hear people like Mr Campolo saying the things he is saying in this clip. How can such a seemingly educated man misunderstand the simple gospel for what it really is? Its great that he is into reaching out to the poor etc….but let me say this…….that is not what [...]

R.C. Sproul on the gospel

“There is no greater message to be heard than that which we call the Gospel. But as important as that is, it is often given to massive distortions or over simplifications. People think they’re preaching the Gospel to you when they tell you, ‘you can have a purpose to your life’, or that ‘you can [...]

The Holiness of God- when will we get it?

“Herein we find proof for the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures. The unregenerate do not really believe in the holiness of God. Their conception of His character is altogether one-sided. They fondly hope that His mercy will override everything else. “Thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself” (Psalm 50:21) is God’s charge against them. [...]

John Macarthur on thinking biblically

 
In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically.
First Thessalonians 5:21-22 teaches that it [...]

Tim Conway- Doctrine of Hell

In putting this video on I would like to reiterate that I do not believe in Turn or Burn preaching. Preaching of such sorts fails to acknowledge the grace, love and mercy of God and salvation through Christ Jesus. However, Hell is a reality that many in the supposed evangelical circus [...]

The gospel message in all its component facts is a clear, definitive, confident, authoritative proclamation that Jesus is Lord, and that He gives eternal and abundant life to all who believe. We who truly know Christ and have received that gift of eternal life have also received from Him a clear, definitive commission to deliver [...]

A.W. Pink said what?

The god which the vast majority of professing Christians love is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man, who himself has no relish for folly, but leniently winks at the indiscretions of youth. But the Word says, “Thou hatest all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5). And again, “God is angry with the [...]

On faith alone

On faith alone I stand.
There is no higher ground.
I give all I am.
for my soul will never doubt.
Though the storms they may be raging.
You have always held my hand.
To thy cross my heart will always cling.
On faith alone I stand.
On faith alone I live.
Not in what I say or do,
But the [...]

A regeneration which a man can have, and yet live carelessly in sin or worldliness, is a regeneration invented by uninspired theologians, but never mentioned in Scripture. . . . In a word, where there is no sanctification there is no regeneration, and where there is no holy life there is no new [...]

John Piper

This is the meaning of grace. We cannot obtain a right standing with God because of our works. It must be a free gift. We can only receive it by faith, cherishing it as our great treasure. This is why the Bible says, “By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is [...]

D.L.Moody said what?

It is a great mistake to give a man who has not been convicted of sin certain passages that were never meant for him. The Law is what he needs . . . Do not offer the consolation of the Gospel until he sees and knows he is guilty before God. We must give [...]
