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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thank you for choosing to worship with us today. If you are from a church that uses traditional hymns, you may be confused. Please take a moment to read through this guide to contemporary Christian music.

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. [...]

The Problem with Rob Bell

I’ve posted on Rob Bell before, and my friend and fellow blogger-in-Christ, over at Wired4Truth, posted a few articles regarding Rob Bell which went through the roof, after I gave him a little video hint. I’m glad I didn’t post it because I certainly could not have done as good a job as he did!! [...]

Can a true Christian deny the virgin birth?

I was recently at an overnight gathering of those aged 18-28ish in my church, which proved to be a great time of blessing and fellowship. However, one worrying thing that occurred was what was said during a discussion a few of us had about the virgin birth. I, and the others, firmly hold that the [...]

Paul Washer said…………..

“There are so many people, especially in my own denomination . . . because of the pathetic theology and pathetic preaching . . . on church membership rolls—and they are as lost as they can be. Because we have forgotten that salvation does not cometh by praying and asking Jesus to come into your heart; [...]

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 [...]

Making Communities of Grace

 

I came across this photo recently and it struck me; we often undermine the power of close fellowship. Serving in Iraq these soldiers join together to pray to Jesus. It brought a tear to my eye as I pondered the contrast between the chaos of war and the peace that comes with knowing the Lord Jesus [...]

Some evangelical leaders have been joyfully announcing there is a great spiritual revival taking place in our country. However, a closer and more discern¬ing look reveals there is a countless mfiltra¬tion of deceivers masquerading as messen¬gers of Christ who are counterfeiting the Christian faith. “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel [...]
