I’ve recently started meeting up with a small group of men in my church early on Sunday mornings to help them fight against sin as well as give encouragement in their war against lust. We’ve begun reading through and meditating on D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Exposition of Romans Chapter 6: The New Man, published by the... Continue Reading

“If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend doing so sooner than later! You’ll come away with a greater appreciation of Christ and what he did (and does) for you!”   John Murray’s Redemption Accomplished and Applied is an outstanding resource that gives a clear and concise summary of what the Bible teaches about Christ’s...

To be sure, abridging and editing a book like “The Marrow” is no easy task, and we all might go about it in a slightly different way.  But in my opinion Wilson’s summarization is a good and accurate one.   Many of our readers are perhaps familiar with Edward Fisher’s excellent 17th century publication called “The...

Those who watch it will not only be convinced that the prosperity gospel is evil, but they will also know exactly why it is... Continue Reading

Would the church fathers of the second and third centuries have agreed with Stanley’s view? No; they not only read, studied, and used the Old Testament in worship (e.g., see Justin Martyr, 1 Apol. 67),... Continue Reading

What is the church to do? “It is time for us to recover our lost universe. What we need to do is to think, once again, with an entirely different set of connections.
