“Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away [...]

Here’s an excellent article about Charles Spurgeon and his desire for evangelism written by Tom Ascol from the Founders Ministries. ”Charles Spurgeon has been aptly described as one of those “once-a-century” type of preachers in whom all of the powerful gifts which are useful in ministry are deposited. His life and labors stand today, more [...]

Posted: September 16, 2009 in doctrine, General Discussion, life, Mentors, Scripture, TheologyTags: doctrine, John MacArthur, Mentors, Shepard's Fellowship, Theology
From The Shepherd’s Fellowship Yesterday we looked at seven common conditions or tests that don’t necessarily prove or disprove the existence of saving faith. What then are the marks of genuine saving faith? Are there some reliable tests from the Word of God that enable us to know for certain whether one’s faith is real? Thankfully [...]
The Marks of Saving Faith Pt.1— John MacArthur
Posted: September 15, 2009 in doctrine, General Discussion, life, Mentors, Scripture, TheologyTags: doctrine, John MacArthur, Shepard's Fellowship, Theology

What I am Not!

I’m posting this in hopes of clarifying some misconceptions of what some people may think that I believe. Not only that, for some reason when you mention the name “Calvin”, some people that have never or never intend on studying doctrine, theology, or church history, make judgement calls that are based on a lack of knowledge, or that are based [...]

I received this e-mail this morning from my friend Jeremy Strang (Time2Stand).

Therefore, I have decided to revisit George Whitefield. This quote [...]
Which Bible Translation Do You Use?

In light of the publishers deciding to do away with the TNIV version(I applaud this move) when they roll out the updated new NIV version of the bible (story here),I wanted to take a poll to see if the NIV was still a popular version still being used today. I know I used it in the past almost [...]

Posted: September 2, 2009 in Church History, doctrine, General Discussion, Mentors, Scripture, TheologyTags: Church History, doctrine, R.C. Sproul, reformation, Theology
Is the Reformation over? There have been several observations rendered on this subject by those I would call “erstwhile evangelicals.” One of them wrote, “Luther was right in the sixteenth century, but the question of justification is not an issue now.” A second self-confessed evangelical made a comment in a press conference I attended that [...]
