Biblical Grace Doesn’t Allow for Sin – Randy Alcorn
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.

Hiring Out the Christian Life? – Cal Thomas
It is now possible to live a “christian life” without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn’t have to do it.

A Good Sermon Gives Offense – George Whitefield
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.

The Christian Gospel – Timothy Keller
The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

Is there such a thing as a “carnal Christian”? – Leonard Ravenhill
Get rid of this bunkum about the “carnal Christian.” Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.

Do You Wish Others to be Saved? – Charles Spurgeon

One Single Soul – JC Ryle
