Marxism has a long history of opposition to Christianity. This opposition to Christ is already being proclaimed in the church by Neo-Marxists, and they are being aided and abetted by the Neo-liberal ministers in the Church. The message of Marx is legalism—tyrannical legalism. The message of Christ is the gospel. The message of Marx leads... Continue Reading

Today, many churches have outsourced pastoral training to para-church institutions. Certainly, seminaries and Bible schools still play a vitally important role in theological training. But there is a great loss when pastoral training is entirely separated from the local church. As theological training becomes more flexible with online and modular formats, there is a growing opportunity... Continue Reading

You want to see the forces of hell stirring then proclaim a gospel which cannot be hijacked but a gospel which bids us to come and die. The biblical gospel will always make Herod’s uncomfortable. If it doesn’t then it’s either not the biblical gospel or your Herod’s dragon scales are starting to peel.  ... Continue Reading

 You’ve heard of the popular phrase, “Preach the gospel, use words when necessary.” This is an axiom that is simply . . . false. I surely understand the sentiment—we should practice what we preach! However, it falls woefully short of the goal. Your deeds can’t save anybody. We must preach the gospel—with words! Though we... Continue Reading

“To lay down frail flesh, feeble nature, all my lusts and passions, all my occasions and temptations to sin, all my infirmities and imperfections—and to be clothed with perfect beauty and eternal glory—should rather transport than perplex me. Why tremble at the ghastly gloom, that shall beam into a boundless noon; or startle at the... Continue Reading

Godly, married sexuality is very different in character from the pornography-fed version to which you have become accustomed. You will need to embrace the responsibility and joy of the “putting off” and “putting on” of the gospel to your entire approach to sexuality. So don’t expect marriage to cure you of porn. Rather, make yourself... Continue Reading

If God demands ultimate love, what of other loves? The love of neighbour can further be divided into love for Christian brethren (John 13:34), love for family (Eph. 5:22–6:4), love for non-Christian neighbour (Rom. 13:9–10; Gal. 6:10) and love for enemy (Rom. 12:18–20; Matt. 5:4). The fact that love of neighbour is bundled together with... Continue Reading

As Christ-followers, we must learn well the lessons that church history teaches us. When we forget the past we falter in our faith and fail to exalt the sovereign purposes of our Savior. When we forget the past, we become comfortable stumbling around in the dark and begin to glory in our ignorance. Let us... Continue Reading

One does not have to reach too far to understand what Paul means in Colossians 2:8. He does not want Christians to dedicate themselves to a way of life according to the tradition of men (κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπω) but rather to a way of life according to Christ (κατὰ Χριστόν). Paul did not... Continue Reading

When the enemies of the Lord seem to have victory over the church it can often seem as if all is lost. How often have we seen sister churches and denominations embrace erroneous teaching, false doctrine, and a powerless gospel? If we look around at the evangelical church’s embrace of the LGBTQ agenda we may... Continue Reading
