This was the main sermon preached on Sunday 22nd February 2009 and it ... is ... AMAZING!! "What Is Sin In The New Covenant?" Something that is burning in my heart and all of your hearts I trust is that we are persuaded that; The church is meant to be a heavenly society residing on earth - a communi...

I've just completed transcribing Ryan Rufus's sermon on the 8th February 2009 in Hong Kong called; "Hebrews 6 - Can You Lose Your Salvation?". He very boldly and fearlessly took on one of the famous "problem" passages that have confused theologians for centuries. He preached so clearly and so eloque...

Read this great bit this morning from A Gospel Primer for Christians .  It reminds me of much that John Piper and Samuel Storms have said, echoing the words of Edwards, Calvin and others.  Plenty to consider here. Though saved, I am daily beset by a sinful flesh that always craves those things tha...

This post is not going to be a comfortable one for anyone. It's not going to be comfortable for legalists because I am going to make some statements that will draw them to conclusions - conclusions I have already been receiving from some quarters. It's not going to be comfortable for "nice" Christia...

I found this very interesting transcript from one of Ern Baxter's series of sermons; "The Adam/Christ Analogy". During the sermon he spoke about the "Old Man" from Romans. Why do I quote him?

This sermon was absolutely outstanding and was preached on Sunday 27th April 2008. It stands as a landmark on the absolutely key issue of the gift of righteousness along with; "Self-Righteousness versus the Gift of Righteousness". Rob himself confesses it isn't the easiest of sermons to hear or read...

"You do not carry a sin conciousness from sinning - you carry a sin conciousness because of unbelief in who you are in Christ Jesus". Rob Rufus - "Fully Free from Guilt in Order To Be Fully Covered By the Glory" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 27th April 2008....

Sometimes I get questioned on why my particular "bug-bears" in theological discussion are as they are. Subjects such as the meaning of the Song of Solomon, biblical manhood and womanhood and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are all guaranteed to get me going! Why so? Because I think each of these subj...

Janelle wrote a very provocative and honest post recently called; "Condemnation, Anyone?". I really appreciated her openness - in a Christian world that is tempted to put on the mask of religion and smile glassily when asked how one is and say that wonderful adjective; "Fine!" - it was so refreshing...

"Now to reign in life is to know that you are right with God. It's to know that He is happy with you, approving of you and pleased with you ... It's too know that His love is towards you constantly and His favour on you. To reign in life is to live totally free from crippling guilt and condemnation ...
