J.C.Ryle’s piercing truth

Beware of manufacturing a god of your own: a god who is all mercy but not just, a god who is all love but not holy, a god who has a heaven for everybody but a hell for none, a god who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but [...]

Striving for the Truth

There are congregations, even in the present age of conflict, that are really gathered around the table of the crucified Lord; there are pastors that are pastors indeed. But such congregations, in many cities, are difficult to find. Weary with the conflicts of the world, one goes into the Church to seek refreshment for the [...]

Passionate About the Truth

“I honestly do not understand how anyone can say “I believe the Bible is the Word of God” without being passionate about that confession. I love the Trinity, justification by faith, the Resurrection, and sola scriptura. I do not pretend to be dispassionate about these things, and, as such, I stand firmly on this assertion: [...]

Reclaiming the Mind Ministries

As someone with a keen interest in theology I always enjoy discovering new resources to read or listen to. My mind never tires of reading and learning more about the God of the Universe and the teachings of the Bible. I don’t know what it’s like in the USA but in the UK, there appears [...]

J.C.Ryle- Pharisees and Saduccees

Every word spoken by the lord Jesus is full of deep instruction for Christians. It is the voice of the Chief Shepherd. It is the Great Head of the Church speaking to all its members, – the King of kings speaking to His subjects, – the Master of the house speaking to His servants, – [...]

TV Church

What is the “electronic church”? If you turn on your TV, you will find a variety of religious broadcasting, from Roman Catholic masses to traditional Presbyterian services to charismatic talk shows. Some of these programs are rather amateurish local broadcasts of local worship services. Others are sophisticated and expensive programs syndicated [...]

Judges- The Products of Pluralism

A month ago(ish) I posted on here saying I was going to started posting a weekly sermon. Well due to technicalities, the Christmas break, and some “oking” that I had to do with the Pastors whose sermons I will be posting, I have finally got around to posting the first sermon! This weeks sermon is [...]

She now faces disciplinary action, even though [...]

Book Review- The Jesus Who Never Lived: Exposing False Christs and Finding the Real Jesus

Sometimes apologetics books can be dry and hard to read. Agreed? It takes one to have a keen interest in the subject at hand to stimulate the mind to keep flicking those pages, absorbing the content of said pages as you do so. Sometimes the author is very intellectual and the information given us very [...]

J.C. Ryle- Exhortations for Young Men

When the Apostle Paul wrote his Epistle to Titus about his responsibility as a minister, he mentioned young men as a group requiring particular attention. After speaking of older men and older women, and young women, he adds this advice, “Encourage the young men to be self-controlled” (Titus 2:6). I am going to follow the [...]

False Teaching- Listen up all y’all out there!

This is a great video in warning us to be discerning against any teaching that is out there. We must always go to the Bible to see what it actually says, not what somebody says that it says. Just like the Bereans. I don’t necessarily agree with all the pictures on here (most of them [...]

To the Non-Religious, Fed up with Christianity

Umpteen times I have come across comments and posts by people proclaiming their disdain and sheer irritation with Christianity. I have also read and heard remarks by Christians siding with the Non-Christians, stating that they too are fed up with radical fundamentalism, the kind who run around preaching hell, fire and brimstone at every person [...]

Special Challenges of the 21st Century….

I Like this article……. a lot………

On August 9th, 1995, Netscape, the first mainstream web-browser, went public; and the world has never been the same. But the incredible benefits provided by the Internet are accompanied by lethal dangers. It took three years for the Internet to even begin to take off, but there were already 14 [...]

How to identify a Cult- It’s simple really………..

For the past few years I have looked at cults and different religions with a view of trying to understand them to better equip me in my witnessing and communication of the Christian Faith. I found, over the years, it is quite impossible to know everything about all religions or even a minority of them. While [...]

A Liberal Gospel is idolatry

“What happens to the Gospel when idolatry themes are not grasped? ‘God loves you’typically becomes a tool to meet a need for self-esteem in people who feel like failures. The particular content of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – ‘grace for sinners and deliverance for the sinned-against’ – is down-played or even twisted into ‘unconditional [...]

R.C. Sproul- The Human Will and Salvation

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. [...]

Choosing a Bible- A Primer

There was a time in living memory when most Christians chose their Bible from just two versions. How times have changed. Walk into any Christian bookshop now and you will discover an alarming and confusing array of Bible versions to choose from. And those on show will be just a tiny part of the proliferation [...]

Monergism.com’s monthly Focus- Evangelism

Evangelism
“Evangelism and theology for the most part go separate ways, and the result is great loss for both. When theology is not held on course by the demands of evangelistic communication, it grows abstract and speculative, wayward in method, theoretical in interest and irresponsible in stance. When evangelism is not fertilized, fed and controlled by [...]

The Reality of Spiritual Warfare

John Macarthur- Tolerant Intolerance

“Post-modernism’s veneration of tolerance is its most obvious feature. But the version of “tolerance” peddled by post-modernists is actually a twisted and dangerous corruption of true virtue.
Incidentally, tolerance is never mentioned in the Bible as a virtue, except in the sense of patience, forbearance, and longsuffering (cf. Ephesians 4:2.) In fact, the contemporary notion of [...]

Voddie Baucham said…………

“Our children are not falling away [from the Christian faith] because the church is doing a poor job—although that is undoubtedly a factor. Our children are falling away because we are asking the church to do what God designed the family to accomplish. Discipleship and multi-generational faithfulness begins and ends at home. At best, the [...]
