Saved by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone to the glory of God alone.

Today's reflection is a Thomas Watson quote shared by pastor and author, Tim Challies (@challies):
"It is better to go with difficulty to heaven, than with ease to Hell."
~ Thomas Watson
May you live this day not based on what is easy, but what is eternal.

Precision holds us accountable, generalities do not.

In Romans chapter 9, Paul points out the foolishness of a creature questioning the purposes and actions of its Creator.

Today, we find so many definitions of what is good. The problem is- they're all subjective, all based on our own whims and desires.

Where does a believer's faith rest?
"My faith rests not upon what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is now doing for me."
- Charles Spurgeon

Today is the big day, and there are so many people to thank who have made the release of this book possible!

Clearly, God will accomplish what he intends to accomplish (what he decrees). His decretive will is never thwarted. But what about God’s preceptive will? God gives us his law but we certainly fall very short of the law he has given us: https://t.co/qfBtlspic9

It was an honor to sit down with Tommy Davidson, pastor of Riverside Baptist Church. In this interview segment, Tommy discusses what it has been like to adopt an amillennial perspective after coming from a dispensational background: https://t.co/dHJbhVcq3t

Just over one month away from the release of The All-Encompassing Return of Christ, and would love for you to download and take a look at the study guide. Feel free to share it with your church small group or Bible study to learn how it might be useful.

Many churches have signs that display messages, sometimes helpful or encouraging. Unfortunately, there are often other times when these messages cause me to sigh and shake my head...

The All-Encompassing Return of Christ study guide is now available to download for free! Of course it should be used alongside the book (releasing 7/16), however you can download it now to see how if it would be a useful tool for your studies.

If eschatology informs us of our destiny, how crucial then is it to ensure we study with care? Thank you, Pastor Tommy Davidson for sharing your insights on the importance of sound doctrine and eschatology.

God's words and his actions are always in agreement. God spoke and there was light. He spoke all of creation into being.

What are some ways you find certainty in Scripture?

Powerful words from theologian Jonathan Edwards in this timely reminder from For The Gospel!
Have you experienced the knowledge of God's Word "for the benefit of your soul"?

[For The Gospel @forthegospelmin]

“Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls.”
-Jonathan Edwards

I don’t consider amillennialism pessimistic because the Bible presents a hopeful future. While persecution and suffering continue until the end, other than the brief time when Satan is released, the gospel continues to move forward in power.

[Michael Carpenter @MikeAtRCF]

Left to our own human arrogance, we turn our view of things upside down.

What if "literal interpretation" of Scripture means "literally how I interpret it"?
