  • Vital Members by John MacArthur

    I have often spoken out against all the pragmatic and “seeker-sensitive” approaches to contemporary worship because they tend to diminish the proper place of preaching and replace it with quasi-spiritual forms of sheer entertainment (music, comedy, drama, and whatnot). Any …Read More

  • Not Return Void (Africa Journal #4) by R.C. Sproul Jr.
