Disturbing Christmas
CJ Mahaney shares some thoughts on the real purpose of Christmas: The days before Christmas can be a tiring season of preparation, planning, shopping, and wrapping. But I think as we prepare for the Christmas celebrations, dinners, travel, and gift giving, it’s equally important that we pause and prepare our souls for Christmas. During this [...]
The Gospel in Micah 5:2
One of the most famous and important Old Testament messianic prophecies is also a Christmas text. It foretold that Christ would be born in Bethlehem: “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in [...]
Spurgeon on the Gospel (Part 4)
“Preach Christ, always and everywhere. He is the whole gospel. His person, offices, and work must be our one great all-comprehending theme.” (C.H. Spurgeon)
Never Move Beyond the Gospel
John Piper explains how and why believers should never move beyond their need for the gospel.
John MacArthur eulogy of his former coach Jim Brownfield
Here is a video of John MacArthur’s eulogy of his former coach Jim Brownfield. This video includes Coach Brownfield’s testimony where John talks about his coach’s conversion to Christianity last year. One interesting Husker connection to Coach Brownfield that is mentioned during the eulogy is to an assistant Nebraska football coach who was listening to [...]

Spurgeon on the Gospel (Part 3)
“When we preach Christ crucified, we have no reason to stammer, or stutter, or hesitate, or apologize; there is nothing in the gospel of which we have any cause to be ashamed.” (C.H. Spurgeon)
Remind yourself of the gospel
But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (Jude 1:20–21) Remind yourself of the gospel (“building yourselves up in your most holy faith”). The “most [...]
The Power of God
“Outside of heaven, the power of God in its highest density is found inside the gospel. This must be so, for the Bible twice describes the gospel as ‘the power of God.’ Nothing else in all of Scripture is ever described in this way, except for the Person of Jesus Christ. Such a description indicates [...]
Spurgeon on the Gospel (Part 2)
“Avoid a sugared gospel as you would shun sugar of lead. Seek the gospel which rips up and tears and cuts and wounds and hacks and even kills, for that is the gospel that makes alive again. And when you have found it, give good heed to it. Let it enter into your inmost being. [...]
Think Gospel!
“Those who feel deeply about the gospel are those who think deeply about the gospel.” — C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries
Spurgeon on the Gospel (Part 1)
“The hearing of the gospel involves the hearer in responsibility. It is a great privilege to hear the gospel. You may smile and think there is nothing very great in it. The damned in hell know. Oh, what would they give if they could hear the gospel now? If they could come back and entertain [...]
Remind yourself of the gospel
The “most holy faith” is the gospel. And the first way we keep ourselves in the love of God is to grow in our understanding of the gospel and to remind ourselves of the gospel each day. There is no more effective way to keep yourself in the love of God each day than to [...]
The Power of God
Outside of heaven, the power of God in its highest density is found inside the gospel. This must be so, for the Bible twice describes the gospel as “the power of God.” Nothing else in all of Scripture is ever described in this way, except for the Person of Jesus Christ. Such a description indicates [...]
True Repentance
“No one really comes to salvation who hasn’t become ashamed of himself. That’s what true repentance is all about.” — John MacArthur
How can you be “right” with God?
How can a man be “in the right” before God? This is the dilemma that has tormented men down through history. It caused Martin Luther to crawl on his knees up the steps of the so-called Scala Sancta in Rome, and induced monks to wear hair shirts embedded with fishhooks in an attempt to pay [...]
Where there is no gospel…
Where there is no gospel, something else will fill the void: therapy, consumerism, racial or class resentment, utopian politics, crazy conspiracy theories of the left, crazy conspiracy theories of the right; anything will do. The prophet Isaiah warned us of such conspiracies replacing the Word of God centuries ago (Is. 8:12–20). As long as the Serpent’s [...]
The Cross and Christian Ministry
The following is a great quote from evangelical scholar D.A. Carson’s book “The Cross and Christian Ministry”. There is often a tendency to wrongly focus more on ministry methodology than the message of the gospel. For those of us in any form of Christian ministry, this lesson must constantly be re-appropriated. Western evangelicalism tends to [...]
My Daily Need
My Daily Need The gospel is so foolish (according to my natural wisdom), so scandalous (according to my conscience), and so incredible (according to my timid heart), that it is a daily battle to believe the full scope of it as I should. There is simply no other way to compete with the forebodings of [...]
Will paying so much attention to the atonement lead us to make too much of the cross?
The following post is part of a series addressing common questions about how Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection relate to each other in Scripture by Jeff Purswel. I don’t think there is, if teaching on the cross is handled responsibly. Once again, the cross and the resurrection are two aspects of a unified whole (see for instance [...]
