Standing on the foundation of Scripture is a body of truth that you must believe. If you reject that body of truth, you are not a Christian.
First, can we agree that a true Christian is someone who embraces those truths by faith?
Second, which of those truths are the subjects of evangelical sermons, books, and media today?
Third, what can we do (as individual Christians) to see that evangelicalism is [Continue reading ...]
The Bible is the only authoritative source from which Christianity is derived. Sound strange? That used to be the defining characteristic of evangelicalism.
Collectively evangelicals seem to have drifted far from that principle, and evangelicalism is taking on some strange shapes.
So the first thing that is true about the delivered, the true Christians, is that they do not [Continue reading ...]

“The church, if it is to be anything, it is to be absolutely distinct from the culture, absolutely distinct from the world, absolutely distinct from unbelievers,” said prominent author and evangelical pastor John MacArthur.
Speaking from the pulpit to thousands of fellow pastors at the Shepherds’ Conference, MacArthur underscored the biblical command not to be yoked with nonbelievers and to be a separated people.

Can the church fight apathy and materialism by feeding people’s appetite for entertainment? Evidently many in the church believe the answer is yes, as church after church jumps on the show-business bandwagon. It is a troubling trend that is luring many otherwise orthodox churches away from biblical priorities.
Church buildings are being constructed like theaters. Instead of a pulpit, the focus is a stage. Some feature massive [Continue reading ...]
Following previous Why God Saves focusing on God’s glory:
Everything exists for the purpose of glorifying God. The Westminster Shorter Catechism of the seventeenth century begins by stating that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” The vastness of space and all therein glorifies God.
In Isaiah 43:20, God says, [Continue reading ...]
In a column published some years ago in a popular Christian magazine, a well-known preacher was venting his own loathing for long sermons. January 1 was coming, so he resolved to do better in the coming year. “That means wasting less time listening to long sermons and spending much more time preparing short ones,” he wrote. “People, I’ve discovered, will forgive even poor theology as long as they [Continue reading ...]
Is Pragmatism Really a Serious Threat?
I am convinced that pragmatism poses precisely the same subtle threat to the church in our age that modernism represented nearly a century ago.
Modernism was a movement that embraced higher criticism and liberal theology while denying nearly all the supernatural aspects of Christianity. But modernism did not first surface as an overt attack on orthodox doctrine. The earliest modernists [Continue reading ...]
More than a decade ago, John MacArthur called modern churches to return to sound doctrine — we need to hear that call again.
Christians historically have understood that their calling is to be in the world but not of the world. As Os Guinness pointed out in a perceptive series of articles on the church-growth movement, traditional evangelicalism not only resisted worldly influences, but also used to [Continue reading ...]
