Do Not Serve Needy without Gospel

February 7, 2011

Comments Off on Do Not Serve Needy without Gospel

In this postmodern world and subsequent postmodern church age, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has been greatly reduced to a missional or social gospel, casting the core and essential message of the true Gospel to the wayside.

The Corruption of the Reformation

Comments Off on The Corruption of the Reformation

If we would be true to the Lord and to the Reformation heritage we embrace, we must take a strong stand against any ecumenical movement that is willing to compromise the biblical gospel for unity with Roman Catholicism. Rome claims that the sola fide teaching of the Reformation rejected all works of holiness and the […]

Who Am I According to God? Who Are You?

January 18, 2011

I am not good (Romans 3:12). I was a sinner in rebellion against Almighty God (Romans 3:23; 1 John 3:4). I loved my sin and I loved darkness (John 3:19 ; Psalm 36:1-4) I was a mere hearer of the Word (James 1:22). My righteous acts were filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). I was a thief, […]

Present Day Evangelism

Comments Off on Present Day Evangelism

By A.W. Pink …The “evangelism” of the day is not only superficial to the last degree, but it is radically defective. It is utterly lack-ing a foundation on which to base an appeal for sinners to come to Christ (emphasis ours, I.C.H.). There is not only a lamentable lack of proportion (the mercy of God […]

The Cross Was Enough

Comments Off on The Cross Was Enough

The following excerpt comes from Tim Chester’s You Can Change (p. 25, 27): What’s wrong with wanting to change so we can prove ourselves to God or people or ourselves? It doesn’t work. We might fool other people for a while. We might even fool ourselves. But we can never change enough to impress God. […]

By Mike Ratliff For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law […]

We Never Outgrow Our Need for the Gospel

Comments Off on We Never Outgrow Our Need for the Gospel

From Tullian Tchividjian’s new book, Surprised by Grace: God’s Relentless Pursuit of Rebels I once assumed the gospel was simply what non-Christians must believe in order to be saved, but after they believe it, they advance to deeper theological waters. Jonah helped me realize that the gospel isn’t the first step in a stairway of […]

A Salvation That Really Saves

Comments Off on A Salvation That Really Saves

By Mike Ratliff For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should […]
