Understanding the Theology of “Being Saved”
By Dr. Richard J. Krejcir
“Repent and be saved!” This is a phrase we hear so often, but, have you considered its origins? Is this in the Bible? Surprise…NO, it is not! We may say it with genuine good intentions as both ends of this phrase are very Biblical and essential. [...]

What Does “coram Deo” Mean?
by R.C. Sproul
I remember Mama standing in front of me, her hands poised on her hips, her eyes glaring with hot coals of fire and saying in stentorian tones, “Just what is the big idea, young man?”

The One and the Many by Gregory of Nazianzus

The Pentecostal Movement from 30,000 Feet
The Pentecostal Movement had two main roots: a Wesleyan and a non-Wesleyan root. In the Wesleyan tradition, Phoebe Palmer represents the movement well. She picked up on the doctrine of perfectionism – that it is possible to be freed from sin in this life. Palmer taught a “second blessing” which [...]

The Reformers’ Doctrine of Sola Fide
The question before us is: “In what ways did the Protestant doctrine of Justification through Faith Alone (Sola Fide) challenge the traditional teaching of the medieval church?”
To begin with we must be aware of the fact that various ecumenists – people who want greater unity between Protestants and Roman Catholicism [...]

The Heart of True Ethics
(By John MacArthur)
Today’s post is from the introduction to our new staff book, Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong.
It is common in the evangelical church today for people to verbally acknowledge that the Bible, as God’s Word, is the final authority for both what they believe and how they live. [...]
