Praying, By Faith Alone, in Christ Alone, for Reformation

The Gospel- Just A Message for the Unsaved?
It stretches credulity to suggest that anyone would answer this question in the affirmative. We know better than to say such things. It also stretches credulity, however, to deny that we in the church have a terrible time grasping the … Continue reading
I’m Just a Sinner In a Rock and Roll Band
It is shocking to me that someone else’s sin seems to shock us. I can only surmise that our shock is the fruit of not having a very clear idea of ourselves. I’ve often suggested that so many of us … Continue reading
