Charles Spurgeon: Prayers of Flint and Steel

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, was undoubtedly one of the greatest expositors to ever live. In his sermons, he often used illustrations to help make the point of the text come across more clearly. Several of his illustrations have been compiled into a very enjoyable little book titled Flowers from a Puritan's Garden. The...

A Prayer for the Church

I ran across this prayer in a book titled Piercing Heaven, a book of Puritan prayers that were compiled and edited by Robert Elmer. I highly recommend reading the book, but for now I'll just share this prayer with you. It was written by Arthur Dent, a Puritan in the late sixteenth century. Most loving...

Are We Attacking Individuals When We Point Out False Doctrine?

This post is another offshoot of the conversation I had with Dr. Larry Dixon, a professor at CIU, in May of last year.

How Many Ways to God Are There?

Photo by Frank Cone on Pexels.com Within a fifteen mile radius of my house, there’s a Buddhist temple, a Hindu temple, at least one Catholic cathedral, three or four Masonic lodges, a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, and about fifty churches of various denominations.

Jesus’ True Calling to Sarah Young

Photo by Joseph Redfield from Pexels Trivia question: What book was rated the 2012 #2 nonfiction bestseller, is read by thousands if not millions of people daily, and is the most accepted heretical literature so far this century, quite possibly this millennium? Since I pretty much gave it to you in the title of this post, you probably...
