The Assumed Gospel
The greatest threat to Christ-centered witness even in churches that formally affirm sound teaching is what British evangelical David Gibson calls “the assumed gospel.” The idea is that that gospel is necessary for getting saved, but after we sign on, the rest of the Christian life is all the fine print: conditional forgiveness. It often comes in the form of, “Well, of course, but….” After a month of Sundays with exhortation apart from Good News, one ...

What Will You Tell Me If I Had a Brain Tumor?
Just a while ago, as I was browsing around my Facebook page, I saw Susan Yesner and Doug Eaton post the same video from YouTube. A video with the title: "Shocking Message to Pastors & Churches." I watched it and re-posted it as soon as I was done. In an understatement I would say that it is not only shocking but very, very much sobering as well. Below are my comments on the video, and my ...

“You Don’t Have to Get Offensive.”
Paul seemed surprised at the sudden spotlight. “Well, that’s a very large and complex subject.....” “Surely it is, but did you inform these dear folks of that when you used that verse (2 Thess 2:15) to get them to begin to question the sufficiency of God’s holy Word?” There was a deathly silence. “I didn’t feel it necessary to go into such detail, no.” “Even when you knew admitting the confusion that exists in Rome about the topic ...

The Bloodless Gospel! The Crossless Christ!
In addition to the fact that today hundreds of churches are without a leader who faithfully declares the whole counsel of God and presents His way of salvation, we also have to face the additional fact that the majority of people in these churches are very unlikely to learn the Truth themselves. The family altar, where a portion of God's Word was accustomed to be read daily is now, even in the homes of nominal ...

The Widely Preached Gospel—of Satan.
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ, and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ." (Gal 1:6-7) The gospel of Satan is not a system of revolutionary principles, nor even a program of anarchy. It does not promote strife and war—but aims ...

How To Make Your Child a False Convert? Easy.
Would you let Hillsong church preach to your child? I'm sure such an inquiry would have most of today's Christian Parents more than delighted to oblige. We would certainly love it for those "godly men and women" to preach to our kids. But in this case I am forced to say that only those deluded and blinded from the truth would want such a thing for their Children. I remember Paul Washer saying, "I would never ...

Why Do We Need to Evangelize Roman Catholics?
In the past week I've been thinking much about the Issue of Roman Catholicism. More specifically why do we need to evangelize Roman Catholics? I believe it is a pivotal question that we must ask especially in this age of the rapid spread of evangelicalism. Why indeed? What is it in Roman Catholicism that bids us to preach to it's people that they may be saved? Do they not have the Bible? They do. Do they ...
