I do not know where I would be were it not for the clear evidence of God's grace in the lives of so many preachers before me. Charles Spurgeon is one of those men who have most captivated my attention because of the volume of his work and the honesty with which he wrote about his heart-breaks. I...

Bearing False Witness Against Christ...

From Joe Carter : The Blasphemy of Barak Obama Mr. President, Earlier today you made a statement that will go down in history as one of the most audacious ever made by a sitting President. And no, I’m not talking about your admission that you supports gay marriage. The only thing surprising about...

A Place To Stand

Today, President Obama, looking strangely uncomfortable, announced his support for homosexuals to marry . Given the deadly combination of pragmatism and biblical illiteracy so common within evangelicalism, confusion on moral issues is sure to abound. Michael Yussef has written a timely call for...

"Take me, for example. I opposed indulgences and all papists, but never by force. I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. And then, while I slept or drank Wittenberg beer with my Philip of Amsdorf the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that never a prince or emperor...

From Carl Trueman: It makes sense that, if the enemies of the church, human and spiritual, wish to destroy her, they will subvert her from the inside. Persecution from outside usually has the opposite effect, strengthening the church and fostering growth. Modern China is the great example of this...

From an excellent message by John Piper on the life, afflictions, and legacy of Charles Simeon: Simeon was utterly unlike most of us today who think that we should get rid once and for all of feelings of vileness and unworthiness as soon as we can. For him, adoration only grew in the freshly plowed...

A Very American Religion

Dr. Brian Lee, pastor of Christ Reformed Church in Washington D.C. asks, "What's wrong with Joel Osteen?" He writes: Osteen is the latest embodiment of the American Religion — Revivalism. For centuries now, preachers have known how to fill stadiums or circus tents and send people home with hope in...

Carl Trueman's breakout session at Together For The Gospel was excellent. The theme was the continuing relevance of the Reformation. I would encourage you to take time to listen to the audio HERE . He offers important wisdom (and warnings) for the contemporary church. Trueman has a gift for...
