Why do I need to study doctrine or theology when all I need to know is Jesus? My immediate reply is who is Jesus? As soon as we begin to answer this question, we are involved in doctrine and theology. No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. #Sproul

Patience, we read in the New Testament is a virtue, is a gift of the Holy Spirit; and many of us realize that patience is difficult to cultivate. We are—maybe in part because we’re Americans—an impatient people. —W. Robert Godfrey https://t.co/7mp1vZTrv4

@DineshDSouza This is a great example of someone who doesn’t understand Calvinism… 👏🏼

One thing must be emphatically stated. The New Testament books did not become authoritative for the Church because they were formally included in a canonical list; on the contrary, the Church included them because she already regarded them as divinely inspired, recognized their innate worth and generally apostolic authority, direct or indirect.

"Ordaining women is the gateway to gay theology. There is no denomination that ordains women that will not eventually ordain homosexuals." 🎯🔥

We are always looking outside of ourselves to Christ to save what’s wrong in us.

Extra nos.

@Rightanglenews This is heartbreaking and enraging.

Francis Schaeffer once said “In front of every abortion clinic there needs to be a sign that reads, “Here by permission of the Church.” 
Sadly, it’s the same with LGBTQ+ movement.

In an interview in 1974, Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian pastor once imprisoned for 14 years, shared an important insight on the reason he experienced such intense persecution under Communist leaders:

Pat Robertson: "That was your only crime, that you said, I want to bring men to eternal life, tell them they have an immortal soul, tell them about Jesus?"

Wurmbrand: "Well, I would not say that this is the only thing. So much they would have allowed. Nothing would have happened to St. John the Baptist if he would have said only, 'Repent. The Kingdom of Heaven is near,' but when he said, 'You, Herod, are bad,' then he was beheaded.

Jesus could have delivered hundreds of sermons on the mount and parables. Nothing would have happened to Him, but when He said, 'Woe unto you, hypocrite Pharisees,' then He was lost.

And in preaching the Gospel, you have to do two things: to proclaim the Kingdom, but also to denounce sin. And we did this side, and the greatest sin committed in humanity today is Communism, not only that it has killed 60 million people in Red China and 30 million in Russia, but it poisons youth and children with atheism. It uses brainwashing. It puts Christians in psychiatric exams, not only in prisons where simply they break their will and their mind, and they try to subvert the whole world with Communism.

So I preached both sides of the Gospel. I denounced the sin, and at the same time, I extended to them the invitation to come to the Kingdom."

@700club “God wants to heal you”? This implies that either God is weak and not sovereign because he’s dependent on something, or my faith is weak because I don’t believe strongly enough. This is not Christianity.
