Dealing With Sin – ‘Peter, do you love me?’ John Chapman How different from us does Christ deal with sin! I would venture to say that Peter would never have been allowed to preach had we been in the Lord’s place. Or if he had, our confrontation with Peter would likely have made Peter unwilling […]
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOSPEL Todd Nibert My heart breaks as I watch people compromise the Gospel. But I must say again … There is only one Gospel! The Gospel of the free and sovereign Grace of Christ my Lord. The Gospel that gives Christ all the Glory in Salvation and excludes human boasting. The […]
Absolutely Sovereign Clay Curtis Psalm 76:10: Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. If we deny the absolute sovereignty of God we do not deny it because we think it belittles God. Whether we know it or not we do it TO BELITTLE GOD AND EXALT SELF. […]
THE GOOD SHEPHERD “Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said,” “I am the Good Shepherd. I know My sheep — and My sheep know Me.” — John 10:14 “The Good Shepherd” — well can the sheep who know His voice, attest the truthfulness and faithfulness of this endearing name and word. Where […]

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save!” Zephaniah 3:17 In the gospel, in the preaching of the cross, in the faith once delivered unto the saints, in all that we preach… Christ is all. He is all. He is our message. He is in all we preach. He is all […]
The kingship of Christ- J.C.Philpot. “King of kings and Lord of lords!” Revelation 19:16 The kingship of Christ is full of sweet consolation to the tried family of God.

THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.” Genesis 2:23 Our Bible is a very Paradise of each sweet flower and each regaling fruit. But the believer sits down most gladly in those choice spots, which are thickly set with tokens of the Savior’s tenderness. Surely happiness mounts […]
