Mark Dever on Unbiblical Theology: Questioning 5 Common Deceits
Adapted from Proclaiming a Cross-Centered Theology
New challenges to the clarity and sufficiency of the gospel arise in each generation. Today some people, even within evangelicalism, are acting and speaking as if Jesus Christ alone is not fully sufficient and as if faith in him and his promises [...]
Last week Jay Leno joked that two of the three wise men must not have gotten the memo about the appropriate gift to bring Jesus. They brought only frankincense and myrrh while the third one brought gold.
James Montgomery Boyce gave further insight to these “gifts of faith” in Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus:
Gold: It is [...]
2 Corinthians 8:9
From Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening:
