Gospel Reformation
The excommunicated monk sits alone in silence. Beads of sweat accumulate on his brow as he reads from the pages of the Greek text. A dark cloud casts a shadow over his homeland as the grace of the gospel is obscured by a church that cares more about tradition than truth. For the next tenContinue reading “Gospel Reformation”

THE GOSPEL – Ray Ortlund (2014)
The “gospel” has become somewhat of a buzzword in evangelical circles. It’s a funny thing because the gospel is at the very center of the Bible and God’s redemptive purposes. So it’s counterintuitive to claim the very idea that the gospel has become a buzzword. Christ-followers knowingly or unknowingly validate a ministry, band, or organizationContinue reading “THE GOSPEL – Ray Ortlund (2014)”
SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD – Jonathan Edwards (1741)

And so a group of middle-aged adults gathered in Don’s living room alongside severalContinue reading “SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD – Jonathan Edwards (1741)”

JESUS: THE ONLY WAY TO GOD – John Piper (2010)
For several years, we have been drowning in a sea of relativism. This is certainly no secret to anyone who has strolled the postmodern beach that is littered with tolerance trash and the rubbish of situational ethics. What comes as a shock is that this relativism is slowly creeping into the church. Like an unnoticedContinue reading “JESUS: THE ONLY WAY TO GOD – John Piper (2010)”
