This is the doctrine that we preach! (Charles Spurgeon) This is the doctrine that we preach:If a man is saved—all the honor is to be given to Christ.If a man is lost—all the blame is to be laid upon himself. You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences:Salvation is all […]
THE GOSPEL WE PREACHHenry Mahan The apostles and the early believers were despised by the religious Jews because of the gospel which they preached. It was not because they lived immoral lives, failed to do good works, nor because they were covetous or proud men.
