"Softening the Character of God"

Todd Pruitt
Jul 16, 2011
The cross is the perfect statement both of God’s wrath against sin and of the depth of his love and mercy in the recovery of the damaged creation and its damagers. God’s mercy, patience, and love must be fully preached in the church. But they are not credible unless they are presented in tension...

I appreciate the work of Nancy Guthrie. I recommend you check out the following books: Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament This is a year's worth of readings from the Old Testament demonstrating how Christ is present in (not simply read back into) the Old Testament. This is a terrific book for...

Great post by Dane Ortlund concerning Francis Schaeffer: In 1951 Francis Schaeffer’s life and ministry were turned upside down, despite already having walked with the Lord for many years and having seen much fruit in ministry.

How the prosperity gospel invaded and infected the African church

Jul 9, 2011
In the video below D.A. Carson interviews Conrad Mbewe about the tragic rise of the prosperity gospel in Africa. One of the reasons for the popularity of preachers like Benny Hinn, Keneth Copeland, and other prosperity teachers in Africa is because of the similarity between what they preach and the...

You never grow beyond the Gospel

Todd Pruitt
Jul 8, 2011
I still come across Christians who consider the Gospel to be the "abc's" of Christianity. That concerns me because we never truly outgrow our need for the Gospel. Indeed we will never grow beyond the Gospel. If we believe the Gospel to be a very basic thing, merely baby food for baby Christians...
