  • To Share the Gospel, You Need to Know the Gospel.

    from Steven Lawson Aug 06, 2018 Category: Ministry News

    The gospel can never be a side issue in our lives, for it is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16–17). If we lose the gospel, we lose everything. What excites me about Ligonier Ministries is its passion for the gospel and for helping people know the gospel.   Keep Reading

  • The Final Judgment and the Christian Life

    from Steven Lawson Aug 01, 2018 Category: Articles

    What happens to those who die while denying the truth of God in their lives? What will their rejection of the truth mean for them? Most people today do not want to think about the final judgment.   Keep Reading

  • Divine Sovereignty

    from Steven Lawson Jul 06, 2018 Category: Articles

    The sovereignty of God is not a secondary doctrine that is relegated to an obscure corner in the Bible. Rather, this truth is the very bedrock doctrine of all Scripture. This is the Mount Everest of biblical teaching, the towering truth that transcends all theology. From its opening verse, the Bible asserts in no uncertain terms that God is and that God reigns. In other words, He is God—not merely in name, but in full reality. God does as He pleases, when He pleases, where He pleases, how He pleases, and with whom He pleases in saving undeserving sinners. All other doctrines of the Christian faith must be brought into alignment with this keystone truth. Keep Reading

  • Truth and Growing in Grace

    from Steven Lawson Jun 13, 2018 Category: Articles

    The postmodern world in which we live is marked by its extreme denial of any authoritative truth. As believers, we must stand squarely upon the Word of God as we witness the rejection of truth, whether in the world or in the church. We must pursue the truth in our lives through a life of commitment to Jesus Christ. Throughout the centuries, believers have gained strength from the many godly examples of their historical predecessors. As we consider what a life of allegiance to Christ looks like, I want us to consider the example of the noted Scottish pastor Robert Murray M’Cheyne.   Keep Reading

  • Is It Necessary to Preach Divine Wrath?

    from Steven Lawson Apr 23, 2018 Category: Articles

    The Genevan Reformer John Calvin said, "Preaching is the public exposition of Scripture by the man sent from God, in which God Himself is present in judgment and in grace." Faithful pulpit ministry requires the declaration of both judgment and grace. Keep Reading

  • Whitefield’s Sin Exposing Spotlight

    from Steven Lawson Apr 18, 2018 Category: Articles

    Whitefield was convinced that any presentation of the gospel must begin by exposing the listener's sin and his dire need for salvation. This necessitated the preacher's confronting his hearers' rebellion against God and warning of the eternal consequences of their rejection. Keep Reading

  • The Moment of Truth: Its Reception

    from Steven Lawson Mar 23, 2018 Category: Articles

    During the trial of Jesus, Pontius Pilate asked a question that has resounded through the ages: "What is truth?" That is the key question for today, when the idea of absolute truth is increasingly and soundly rejected in our culture. To help us understand what is at stake, we are examining the conversation between Jesus and Pilate in John 18. Keep Reading

  • The Moment of Truth: Its Reality

    from Steven Lawson Mar 16, 2018 Category: Articles

    What is truth? In one word, truth is reality. Truth is the way things really are. Truth is not how things may appear to be. Truth is not what we want things to be. Truth is not what popular opinion polls say things are. Truth is the way things really are. So let us look at a few characteristics that help distinguish and define the truth. Keep Reading

  • The Moment of Truth: Its Rejection

    from Steven Lawson Mar 07, 2018 Category: Articles

    Today, it is often said, "I have my truth, and you have your truth." Our generation likes to deny absolute truth, saying that something can be true for one person but not true for someone else. This view is not new. Keep Reading

  • The Doctrines of Grace: By His Grace and for His Glory

    from Steven Lawson Jan 08, 2018 Category: Articles

    The doctrines of grace are so called because these five major headings of theology, often identified as the five points of biblical Calvinism, contain the purest expression of the saving grace of God. Keep Reading
