Is Jesus the Only Way to God?

May 17, 2008

Justin Taylor has a post at the New Attitude blog where he shares some ways to respond to the objection of the claim of Jesus that He is the only way to God.

The Gospel for Christians

January 15, 2008

B. B. Warfield on why the gospel is needed for believers:

“There is nothing in us or done by us, at any stage of our earthly development, because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake, or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of [...]

The Importance of Preaching Christ

January 8, 2008

Charles Spurgeon talked about the importance of preaching Christ in a sermon he preached on 1884.    

“You [as preachers] have nothing else to employ as the means of good, except the salvation of Jesus, and there is nothing else worth telling. I heard of a congregation the other day that was so very small that hardly any [...]

Salvation is Only the Beginning

November 15, 2007

A.W. Tozer makes the point that spiritual rebirth is only the beginning of our relationship with God:

The Doctrine of Christ in the Early Church

September 27, 2007

David Mathis reviews Steve Nichols’s new, excellent book, For Us and for Our Salvation: The Doctrine of Christ in the Early Church.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

July 28, 2007

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution  by Professor Kevin Gutzman looks like an important and interesting book.  Gutzman gives evidence that judges have used the myth of a “living Constitution” to write their own personal views into law which in turn has stripped Americans of the right to govern themselves through elections. Some of the [...]

Politics and Morality Are Inseparable

July 23, 2007

Ronald Reagan knew what our founding fathers clearly understood, politics and morality are torn apart to the public’s peril: 

“The truth is, politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality’s foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs [...]

A Religious Idea Called “America”

July 10, 2007

David Gelernter gave a speech about the importance of religion in America titled, “How Puritanism Created It, What It Means, Why It Matters”      

Americanism, or the religious idea called “America,” seems like a secular idea. It can and has been professed by devout atheists. Its creed, a central element of Americanism, is completely secular in tone–of [...]

God and Country

July 4, 2007

In honor of Independence Day I thought it would only be appropriate to give you a few quotes that shed light on how our Founding Fathers understood the important role Christianity had, and must continue to have, in forming, shaping, molding and upholding the principles spelled out in the founding documents of our nation – [...]

Religious Liberty for Walter Kehowski

July 4, 2007

Over at TownHall.com, Alan Sears writes about the sad saga of Walter Kehowski, a math teacher in Glendale, Arizona, who experienced some tremendous attacks on his religious liberties.   

Sadly, a lot of Americans loathe not only our religious freedoms and heritage, but the very idea of a nation, in the words of Psalm 33:12, “whose God [...]
