Go and Tell or Come and Hear?
Here is a great word from Ken Speer:
Go and Tell or Come and Hear?
by Ken Speer
During a recent radio interview, I stated to the host that our thinking is backwards. Jesus asserted in Matthew 18:12 that if a man had a hundred sheep and one went astray, he would leave the ninety-nine and [...]

Spotting counterfeits saves more than cash
I can buy brand-new Rolexx watches for $50 on the street in New York City.
Really! There are guys up there who have 10 or 15 of them on their arms at the same time.
Whenever my Rolexx breaks, I know just where to go. While I am in New York, I might just get me one [...]

What are we saved from? ……GOD!
“It is because God’s wrath is real that His mercy is relevant. Unless you have a real wrath, a real anger, the Biblical concepts of long-suffering, of mercy, and of grace are robbed of their meaning.” Ravi Zacharias
God saves us from: God’s wrath.
That is why God’s love is so great; He took His own punishment [...]

Exposition on Ruth by Mark Dever
I have written many times on this blog about the benefits of expository preaching. Recently I have been listening to Mark Dever’s exposition of the book of Ruth. If you really want to receive a blessing about how God’s love to everyone is foreshadowed in this great Old Testament story, listening to these messages from [...]

Megachurch leaves PCUSA over homosexuals
I believe we will eventually see the same exodus of Bible-believing Christians from the PCUSA denomination that was seen recently from the UCC, when they embraced homosexuality as being compatible with Christianity. Unfortunately, I am concerned that the United Methodist Church may be not be too far behind. I think we are looking at a [...]

Gospel According to The Washington Post
This Washington Post article says some pretty interesting, sad, and scary things for those who are interested in how Biblical truths are portrayed in our culture and the direction the emerging church leaders are heading.
The article starts out by saying,
“The Washington Post has found an evangelical Christian it likes. Conveniently enough he’s not a fan [...]

Pride: “AIDS of the soul”
“The sin of pride carries with it God’s swiftest and most severe judgment. It blinds you to other sins in your life and hinders you from repenting of them. Pride is the “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome” or the (AIDS) of the soul. When a person dies as a result of acquiring AIDS, he doesn’t really [...]

“Try Jesus?” What Bible verse says that?
The modern “gospel” message, which I truly think is “another gospel” (Gal 1:6-8) says to “Try Jesus.” What is sometimes stated and sometimes implied, is “give this Jesus thing a whirl and see if your life doesn’t improve.” Is this the Biblical message of what it means to become a Christian? I don’t think so.

Basic Christianity by John Stott
“The Christian landscape is strewn with the wreckage of derelict, half-built towers – the ruins of those who began to build and were unable to finish. For thousands of people still ignore Christ’s warning and undertake to follow him without first pausing to reflect on the cost of doing so. The result is [...]

A Timely Quote from A.W. Tozer
“Many tender-minded Christians fear to sin against love by daring to inquire into anything that comes wearing the cloak of Christianity and breathing the name of Jesus. They dare not examine the credentials of the latest prophet to hit their town lest they be guilty of rejecting something which may be of God. They timidly [...]
