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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Who Needs A Creed?
Article by Mark Johnston  April 2008

When I was at Primary School in the British state school system many moons ago, it was still the norm not only to teach pupils the Apostles’ Creed, but also to have them recite it in class. Looking back on that experience brings many thoughts to mind.

Putting Amazing Back Into Grace

Posted in Book Review, C.H.Spurgeon, John Calvin, Michael Horton, Recommended Books, White Horse Inn on October 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Putting Amazing Back Into Grace is the first book I have read by Michael Horton. It will certainly not be my last. On the cover of the book J.I. Packer declares the book “a breaktaking workout” and his praise is justified. This book points us back to the Reformation and ultimately to the Bible itself [...]

EWTN Catholic TV explains the early Reformer John Hus as a heretic

Posted in Apostasy, Calvinism, Emergent, Encouragement, Evangelism, J.C.Ryle, John Calvin, John Macarthur, Sola Scriptura on October 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »

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 [...]

“At the heart of Reformed Theology, at the heart of Luther and Calvin’s struggle, and in Knox and Jonathan Edwards, were men who were awakened to the greatness, to the majesty, to the holiness, and the sovereignty of God. By contemplating the holiness and sovereignty of God, they were driven to develop their doctrines of [...]

A Phobia of Fearing God
June 10 , 2008
by Bo White
The teacher in Ecclesiastes, after a tour of our material existence, writes, “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Eccles. 12:13, ESV). Frankly, this doesn’t seem to be a common theme from pulpits around our country and it [...]

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 [...]

Solus Christus – Christ Alone
As evangelical faith becomes secularized, its interests have been blurred with those of the culture. The result is a loss of absolute values, permissive individualism, and a substitution of wholeness for holiness, recovery for repentance, intuition for truth, feeling for belief, chance for providence, and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Christ [...]

John Calvin said what??

Posted in John Calvin, Say What? on June 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

ll wickedness flows from a disregard of God……Since the fear of God is the bridle by which our wickedness is held in check, its removal frees us to indulge in every kind of licentious [ie..without moral restraint] conduct.
John Calvin- The Epistles of Paul to the Romans and Thessalonians vol 8. of New Testament Commentaries
