A Classical Analysis of Puritan Preaching ARTICLE BY JOSEPH STEELE AUGUST 2010 INTRODUCTION Reformed Christians are indebted to the Puritans for a variety of reasons, not the least of which for their contribution to preaching.

Reformation Day–R.C.Sproul

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther tacked up 95 theses on the church door at Wittenberg.

He was not trying to create a public furor by any means, but within a fortnight, [...]

The Heresy of Middle Knowledge — Dr. C. Matthew McMahon

A Puritan\'s Mind The term “Molinism” was recently brought to my attention. As I was doing some research I found this article on APM’s website and it seemed to me to offer the best summary of what I had been reading. This “doctrine” is more prevalent in the church today than I had thought. Take [...]

I Don’t Want “Free-Will” –Martin Luther

“I frankly confess that, for myself, even if it could be, I should not want ‘free-will’ to be given me, nor anything to be left in my own hands to enable me to endeavour after salvation; not merely because in face of so many dangers, and adversities and assaults of devils, I could not stand [...]

5 Big Myths About Calvinism–John Samson

Reformation Theology I speak for many when I say that I have not always embraced the doctrines of grace or what is commonly called Calvinism.

We Are Not Saved By Grace–Dr. Michael Reeves

Wonderful article I found on Reformation21 Blog John Bunyan believed that Christians are saved by grace. Of course. It was what everyone seemed to say. The thought left him pretty miserable, though. In fact, when he really thought about it, it left him profoundly depressed. God is gracious, he knew: but how gracious, exactly? And [...]

The Esse of Reformed–Current Question– Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin

I was reading the exchange between Dr. James White and Dr. Scott Clark  on being Baptist and Reformed this morning. Mr. White had this exposition by Dr Haykin linked to his response. I think this is interesting……………     “I was just made aware of a recent exchange between Drs Scott Clark and James White vis-à-vis [...]

Happy Reformation Day!

                                                                                                                            THE 95 THESES OF MARTIN LUTHER   Out of love and concern for the truth, and with the object of eliciting it, the following heads will be the subject of a public discussion at Wittenberg under the presidency of the reverend father, Martin Luther, Augustinian, Master of Arts and Sacred Theology, and duly appointed [...]

Martin Luther’s Prayer

In honor of the upcoming “Reformation Day”, I thought I would post one of Martin Luther’s prayers. This is the one he prayed the night before his famous speech at the Diet of Worms. I was listening to it on my way into town yesterday and it literally gave me goosebumps! I hope it blesses you as [...]
