A necessary condition for justification is faith. Right? And faith involves an active embracing, and trusting in Christ-and in Christ alone. In that sense it involves some action of the will. It involves some step of embracing Christ. Now we’re not saying-Luther isn’t saying, Augustine isn’t saying-that the human will is not involved in salvation. [...]

A friend of mine recently informed me that the guys over at the Reformation21 blog are undertaking the task of blogging through “The Institutes of the Christian Religion” by the great reformer John Calvin in 2009. If you have never heard of John Calvin, then please do look up more about him and the reformation [...]

Two weeks ago I returned to my old University in England to visit some of my friends who are still in attendance and to speak at the Christian Union I attended whilst I was there. It was great to receive this invite, and a real privilege to be able to spend a lot of time [...]

I recently received a copy of the Barnabus Fund magazine which keeps me up-to-date with the persecuted church. Within this edition there was an article on the Islamisation of Europe. I plan to add to this post in due course with more on what the article had to say, but for the meantime I thought [...]
Voddie Baucham- Is Christianity a Religion?
Posted in Calvinism, Christian Living, Creeds, Encouragement, Evangelism, Say What?, Voddie Baucham on November 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
There is a common mantra that has been around for a while, but which seems to be picking up steam. It goes like this: “Christianity is not a religion; it’s a relationship.” We’ve all heard it before. However, how many of us have bothered to evaluate this ubiquitous saying? I believe we must do just [...]

TWENTY-THREE GREAT SINS OF EVANGELICALISM–Why We Must Pray For A Reformation Again.
Many Christians today are calling for revival. They are mistaken to do so. Revival is the imbuing of what already exists with new life. In the past, Evangelical Christianity has experienced renewed vigor from the Holy Spirit in great moves of God many call [...]

“Rob Bell, Rob Bell, Rob Bell”. “Nooma this, Nooma that, Nooma, Nooma, Nooma”. Have you read that book Velvet Elvis? Great Book that is. Will change the way you view your faith forever!”
At least that’s what I’ve heard off some people this past year or two. I do have to confess that I bought both [...]
EWTN Catholic TV explains the early Reformer John Hus as a heretic

Literally 10 minutes ago I sat down to watch some Sky TV before my Bible Study. Nothing was on. I thus decided to take a walk through the world of the tele-evangelists. I often wonder what nonsense I will come across as I flick through TBN, God Channel and the like. I eventually stumbled upon the Roman [...]

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly [...]

If anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, “What have you that you did not receive?” (1 Cor. 4:7), and, “But by the grace [...]
