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 characterized once again by proclaiming all those truths faithfully?

The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christians from dishonouring their bodies. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be [Continue reading ...] 1. God is a God of. De 32:4; Ps 31:15. 2.

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 believe error because they have come to the light. They have come to the truth. [Continue reading ...] But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! (Luke 12:5) Fear is something that mankind deals with on several different levels. Fear causes mankind to hide, rebel, lash out, slander, panic, and to be something that they really are not. The fear of man is a great snare that binds men and constrains them to simply be tossed around by the [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. “Paul demands a total break,” he said Wednesday at Grace Community Church in Sun [Continue reading ...] “To whom be glory for ever.” This should be the single desire of the Christian. I take it that he should not have twenty wishes, but only one. He may desire to see his family well brought up, but only that “To God may be glory for ever.” He may wish for prosperity in his business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this—“To whom be glory for ever.” He may desire to attain more [Continue reading ...] Better in the abyss of truth than on the summit of falsehood. C.H. Spurgeon The line of truth is narrow as a razor’s edge. C.H. Spurgeon The safest truth is the simplest. C.H. Spurgeon We hope to understand the truth better, but we shall never discover better truth. C.H. Spurgeon He that perverts truth shall soon be incapable of knowing the true from the false. If you persist in wearing glasses that distort, everything will [Continue reading ...] “If God has called you to be really like Jesus in your spirit, He will draw you into a life of cruxifixion and humility, and put on you such demands of obedience that He will not allow you to follow other Christians; and in many ways He will seem to let other good people do things that He will not let you do. Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires and work schemes, [Continue reading ...] The Narrow Gate by John Bunyan (1628-1688) “Strive to enter in at the narrow gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” — Luke 13:24.
