From Alistair Begg: Now when we read our Bibles and think about these things, it is not wrong to say that in the cross the love of God is declared. But to say that does not get to the depth of it. It is right to say Jesus is our priest and our representative, but even that does not get to the heart ...

Unbelievable! This interview sheds the most definitive light on what William Young, author of The Shack, really believes about several things, including the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross, which Young denies. He also says in the interview that it is absolutely possible that a...

First Sunday in Lent Jesus, help me. The text for our meditation today is the Old Testament just read. Let us consider these words of our Lord, “And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only...

Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times Way back in 1517, Luther attacked the use of indulgences by the Church of Rome.  They were used to provide a false hope, and a steady flow of cash for Papal building projects.  The Reformation was born. Many, Cavman included, think we need a new (or renewed) Ref...

I apologize for not picking up my limited atonement series sooner.  The holidays plus a couple bouts of illness intervened. I’m not optimistic enough to think in the next few posts I’ll answer all of everyone’s questions on this topic.  I’ll still have more research to do a...

If we had never sinned, Christ would not have died. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between sin and death so that sin is the cause of death.

Recently, a dear brother in Christ posted a lengthy rebuke of limited atonement as a comment on my blog. I promised him a response and thought I’d share the exchange here for the benefit of my readers. Feel free to read his original comment .  This is the first part of my response to his conc...

Back to working my way through Steve McCoy’s Big 5 Books, today the Cross.  As Spurgeon once said: “Endeavor to know more and more of Christ Jesus. Endeavor especially to know the doctrine of the sacrifice of Christ.” C.H. Spurgeon Here are the best books I’ve read: The Aton...

Last night Pam and I were watching a REAL reality show, called Hopkins, which follows real doctors and documents real cases with quite vivid detail. Peyton is a two-year-old who is just like any other toddler, except that, all of a sudden, he started having heart problems. And when I say all of a su...

[The] atonement involves the imputation of our sins to the Lord Jesus, and the imputation of the Lord Jesus’ righteousness to us. He is wounded for our transgressions. He is pierced for our iniquities . He takes what is ours, and it’s counted to Him. And when He goes to the cross, as ...
