The longer I’m in ministry, the more I think the church (broadly speaking) has not taken this as seriously as it ought.....
My Christian friend, in the midst of all that's happening (it's a lot and it's all complex), step back and remember a few simple things about your position in Christ....
I’m thrilled by the social media posts of the public support given to John MacArthur and Grace Community Church today....
Just as a high fever is a symptom of physical disease, anxiety is a symptom of spiritual disease. This eminently practical series will help both Christians and non-Christians understand the roots of their anxiety and point them to the cure....
A pastor can’t say everything that needs to be said in a single message, let alone a social media post....
The Bible tells us to expect difficult trials as part of the Christian life. You know that you should trust God when hard times come, but exactly how do you trust God when life seems to fall apart at the seams? This life-changing study from the book of Habakkuk will teach you how to move from trials to spiritual triumph...
We have heard so much about maintaining physical health during these times. Fair enough--I'll wash my hands and maintain social distancing....
Justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. This is the article by which the church stands or falls. Today this article is often ignored or denied by scholars and pastors who claim to be evangelical. Fallen human nature has always recoiled from recognizing its need for Christ’s imputed righteousness......
Keep ReadingAs 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 and his cross hav...
Keep ReadingScripture alone is the inerrant rule of the church’s life, but the evangelical church today has separated Scripture from its authoritative function. In practice, the church is guided, far too often, by the culture....
Keep ReadingLast week we saw how justification and sanctification agree. Today we will see how they differ. Justification is the reckoning of a man to be righteous on the merit of Jesus Christ. Sanctification is the actual making a man inwardly righteous, though it may be in a feeble degree. The righteousness we have by our justification is not our own, but the everlasting perfect...
Keep ReadingGod, the infinitely just Sovereign, knows that there is not a just man upon earth that does good and never sins. Therefore, in the infinite sovereignty of His divine nature and in the splendor of His ineffable love, He undertakes the task of justifying the ungodly. God has devised ways and means of making the ungodly man to stand justly accepted before Him: He has set up ...
Keep ReadingThis subject is one of great importance, though I fear it will not seem so to all my readers. Too many are apt to look at nothing but the surface of things in religion. They regard distinctions in theology as questions which are of little real value. But I warn all who are in earnest about their souls, that the discomfort which arises from not distinguishing things that d...
Keep Reading"God is the one who justifies" (Romans 8:33). Justification is a legal term. It belongs to the realm of the law court. It means 'to declare just,' and 'to declare righteous.' It is the opposite of condemnation. The Christian has moved from a state of condemnation to one of justification. It is the action of God and exclusively the action of God. It is the declaration Go...
Keep ReadingIf you desire to see the love of God in this great procedure you must consider how he gave his Son. He did not give his Son, as you might do, to some profession in the pursuit of which you might still enjoy his company; but he gave his Son to exile among men. He sent him down to yonder manger, united with a perfect manhood, which at the first was in an infant's form. There...
Keep ReadingThe question has sometimes been proposed to me: “How it is that those of us who hold the deity of Christ manifest what is called uncharitableness towards those who deny him?”...
Keep ReadingI want to mention the very remarkable honesty with which the psalmists do not hesitate to tell the truth about themselves. We have a classic example in Psalm 73. This man admits freely that his feet were almost gone, his steps had well-nigh slipped......
