And All Liars

Another great article from Christian Witness Ministries, this time from missionary Sandy Simpson. Lying is a problem for all people (Psalm 116:11). We are all sinners (Romans 3:23). Those of us who are Christians are “sinners saved by grace” (Ephesians 2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our “new self” (Colossians 3:10). But we still [...]
Bad Doctrine Is Tolerable

“Bad doctrine is tolerable; a long sermon most certainly is not. The timing of the benediction is of far more concern to the average churchgoer than the content of the sermon.

Can Christians Become Demon-Possessed?
Category: Christianity, Teaching
What does God’s Word, the touchstone of truth, say? Can demons inhabit or spatially indwell a true believer? Can they walk through an open door and become a squatter? Proponents of today’s spiritual warfare movement say yes, but they base their answer on subjective experience, not on God’s Word. The Bible makes it clear that [...]

Charles Leiter on Justification
Category: Christianity, Grace, Teaching
How can a man be right with God? There is only one answer. A man can be right with God only through the life and death of the Lord Jesus Christ on his behalf. “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross.” (1 Peter 2:24). “He made Him who knew no sin [...]
Charles Spurgeon on “Non-Essential” Doctrines
Category: Church Issues, Discernment, Scripture, Teaching
If you say that any one part of the truth is unimportant, you do as good as say – to that extent the Holy Spirit has come upon an unimportant or valueless mission. You perceive it is declared that he is to teach us “all things”; but if some of these “all things” are really [...]
Did Jesus Spend Saturday in Hell?
Category: Teaching
This article was written by John Piper from Desiring God Ministries. The Apostles’ Creed says, “[He] was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.” There are many meanings given to this phrase. I simply want to ponder the traditional interpretation that Christ went to [...]
Divine Immutability
Category: Bible, Teaching
By John MacArthur in his foreword to Foundations of Grace: A Long Line of Godly Men by Steve Lawson. The Bible repeatedly and unapologetically underscores the fact that God does not change.

Does It Really Matter What I Believe? by Ken Silva
Category: Church Issues, Discernment, Teaching
As I have talked with people concerning their views about God, a question like this will often arise during our conversation. It sure isn’t hard to see that Americans are a bit of an independent lot aren’t we? But the truth is, as much as we might not want to hear it, your opinion and [...]
Does Man Have A Free Will?
Category: Sermons
If God is truly sovereign over all things, how can man have free-will? Are we programed robots, ordained to choose whatever it is God has predestined us to choose? Do we have the freedom to do what we want to do? These are the sorts of questions that arise when we begin to talk about [...]
Faith Without Deeds is Dead
Category: Christianity, Faith, Sermons, Teaching
It seems as though on one hand we have the apostle Paul telling us that, by grace we are saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8) And then on the other hand, the apostle James telling us that [...]

Freedom of the Will
Category: Calvinism, Quotes, Teaching
This is an excerpt from Jonathan Edwards’ Freedom of the Will and this was the start of my understanding the absurdity of the will being truly free. This takes a little time to understand and read through but Edwards does a great job in taking apart the Arminian view of the will through logic. I [...]
Fully God and Fully Man, by John MacArthur
Category: Christianity, Teaching
Did Jesus really claim to be God incarnate in human flesh? Or, as skeptics argue, did His followers later invent those claims and attribute them to Him? Thankfully, the biblical account of His life and ministry leaves no doubt about who Jesus declared Himself to be. Jesus frequently spoke of His unique, otherworldly origin, of [...]

How Does the Will Function in Salvation? – R.C. Sproul
Category: Christianity, Teaching
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. [...]

How to Start a Mega-Church, by Todd Friel

This might seem a little strange, but hang in there ‘til the end because I think this has a powerful punch line. Proof-texting is one of the main reasons false teachers can find a home inside of evangelicalism. The false teacher can take a verse out of context and apply it to a teaching that [...]

Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God?
Category: Christianity, Cults, Islam, Jehovah's Witness, Mormonism, Teaching
This article comes from Got Questions. Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not [...]

It’s Never Too Late to Keep Asking

Great encouragement from John Piper at Desiring God Ministries. One of the greatest hope-killers is that you have tried for so long to change and have not succeeded.

Judge Not, by Jacob Prasch

Justification – The Reformation vs Rome
Category: Roman Catholicism, Teaching
Dr. R.C. Sproul writes: At the heart of the controversy between Roman Catholic and Reformation or Protestant theology is the nature of justification itself. It is a debate not merely about how or when or by what means a person is justified, but about the very meaning of justification itself. Reformed theology insists that the [...]
Justification: Not Merely Forgiveness
Category: Christianity, Teaching
In this excerpt from John Piper’s, The Future of Justification, he explains the Biblical view of justification in that God does not simply ‘forgive’ the guilty, but imputes or imparts moral righteousness. “An omniscient and just judge never “finds in favor” of a guilty defendant. He always vindicates the claim that is true. If the [...]
Liberal & Fundamental Humanism
Category: Church Issues, General Topics, Media, Sermons
“Humanism is, I believe, the most deadly and disastrous of all the philosophical stenches that’s crept up through the grating over the pit of Hell. It has penetrated so much of our religion. And it is in utter and total contrast with Christianity! Unfortunately, it’s seldom seen.” – Paris Reidhead
Love, by John MacArthur
Category: Christianity, Church Issues, Discernment, General Topics, Sermons, Teaching
This article was written by John MacArthur from Grace to You. “All you need is love.” So said the Beatles. If they’d been singing about God’s love, the statement would have a grain of truth in it. But what usually goes by the name love in popular culture is not authentic love at all; it’s [...]

Paul Washer: Reality Check Conference
Category: Christianity, Media, Sermons
“One of the greatest marks of being a genuine Christian is not sinless perfection. One of the greatest marks of genuine Christianity is that when we sin we are sensitive to it, and that sensitivity leads us to contrition and brokenness and ultimately confession. Christians are confessional people, and that doesn’t just mean we confess [...]
Prayer, by Paul Washer
Category: Christianity, Media, Prayer, Sermons
Jesus withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. (Luke 5:16) No disciple ever came to Jesus asking Him to teach them to preach, walk on water, raise the dead, or cast out demons. But they did ask Him to teach them to pray. Why? Why is prayer so important? Download and listen to this sermon [...]
Praying For the Lost

Before Jesus gave up His spirit as He hung on the cross, He took time to pray for those who were murdering Him. He prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). God began to answer His prayer on the Day of Pentecost as some three thousand people [...]
Redefining the Gospel

Reformed Theology in One Verse
Category: Christianity, Grace, Scripture, Sovereignty, Teaching
“He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24) “He who calls you…” God initiates relationship with sinners.

Sexual Desires

Ray Comfort answers this question from a reader at The Soapbox: “Why did God give us sexual desire if it’s a bad thing? Even if you only lust over your spouse, you would most likely have felt lust for them before you married. After all, lust plays a big part in our choice of marriage [...]
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Slavery and True Liberty
Category: Christianity, Teaching
The following is excerpted from the new material in John’s revised edition of The Gospel According to Jesus. Understood correctly, the gospel is an invitation to slavery. When we call people to faith in Christ, we need to stress that fact in the same way Jesus did. On the one hand, the gospel is a [...]

The Longsuffering of God
Category: Christianity, Teaching
This is an essential attribute of God whereby He refrains Him- Self from initially pouring out His full wrath upon the sinner, thus postponing his punishment–meanwhile bestowing benefits upon him.
