Jesus IS Lord
What Day Did Christ Die?
For many, the Friday before Resurrection Sunday has become like a holy day. It is almost anathema to consider that Christ may have died on any other day.

Civil Disobedience and the Christian
The concept of civil disobedience is not new. Neither is the question of how far a government can go before the Christian is permitted to disobey.

Veggie Tales creator: “[I convinced] kids to behave Christianly without teaching them Christianity.”
When was the last time you heard a prominent name in Christian circles say something like this: I looked back at the previous 10 years and realized I had spent 10 years trying to convince kids to behave Christianly without actually teaching them Christianity. And that was a pretty serious conviction. You can say, ‘Hey […]

Order of Salvation (Ordo Salutis)
What really happens when one is born again? If all one does is consider what is seen and felt, one will conclude that one is born again by choosing Christ or accepting Him. But there is an unseen, spiritual reality described in the Bible – that man is born of the flesh dead spiritually, unable […]

The Power of the Word of God
Several years ago, I had a very good boss where I work. She was professional, congenial, and honest. She was a cradle Roman Catholic, having been raised in that cult and believing it to be the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. I never once told her the truth about her cult. Yet I prayed […]

“Salvation MUST Be Evidenced by Works”–Who Said That??

Not works leading to salvation, but rather […]
Jonathan Edwards taught “Salvation by Works”!!!
All the “Easy-Believers®” who want to toss men like John MacArthur and Paul Washer under the bus for teaching that the life of a true Christian will be radically different from a Non-Christian because the believer’s life will be marked by repentance from sin, obedience to Christ, and “fruits worthy of repentance”–these “Easy-Believers®” will also […]
