  • The Continental Divide of Theology

    from Steven Lawson May 16, 2016 Category: Articles

    Never has the need been greater for the truths of sovereign grace to be firmly established in the church. Her thinking about God desperately needs to be flowing in the right direction. As the church thinks, so she worships; and, as the church worships, so she lives, serves, and evangelizes. The church’s right view of God and the outworking of His grace gives shape to everything that is vital and important. The church must recapture her lofty vision of God and, thereby, be anchored to the solid rock of His absolute supremacy in all things. Only then will the church have a God-centered orientation in all matters of ministry. This, I believe, is the desperate need of the hour. Keep Reading

She will either enlarge his passion for God or she will pour cold water on it. What kind of wife encourages her husband's spiritual growth? Keep Reading

  • Spirit-Empowered Preaching

    from Steven Lawson Apr 06, 2016 Category: Articles

    As Martyn Lloyd-Jones stepped into the pulpit at Westminster Chapel, he bore the appearance of a man who was physically fragile and frail. He was short and had a small frame. His bald head, ringed with thin hair on the side, added to the appearance of weakness. In the eyes of the world, this was not a powerful individual who projected strength. Keep Reading

  • The Priority of Preaching the Word

    from Steven Lawson Mar 21, 2016 Category: Articles

    Understanding the fiery preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones requires an apprehension of the exceedingly high view he possessed of preaching. He believed that the chief business of the church is what Paul charged Timothy with his dying words, to "preach the word" (2 Tim. 4:2). Keep Reading

  • The Centerpiece of God’s Saving Purpose in the Universe

    from Steven Lawson Dec 26, 2015 Category: Articles

    What is God's glory? The Bible speaks of God's glory in two primary ways. First, there is the intrinsic glory of God, which is the sum total of all His divine perfections and attributes. It is who God is—His infinitely vast greatness. Keep Reading

  • Jesus Christ: Teacher of Sovereign Grace

    from Steven Lawson Sep 19, 2015 Category: Articles

    Jesus Christ taught the doctrines of grace clearly and convincingly. He did not withhold these towering truths from His public ministry, but openly declared them to all, for all needed to hear them. Keep Reading

  • God’s Sovereignty in Salvation and the Unity of the Trinity

    from Steven Lawson May 11, 2015 Category: Articles

    Divine sovereignty in salvation involves each of the three persons of the Godhead—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three work in perfect unity to rescue the same undeserving sinners. Keep Reading

  • 4 Ways Pastors Must Practice Evangelism

    from Steven Lawson Mar 20, 2015 Category: Articles

    All pastors must do the work of an evangelist. They must earnestly proclaim the gospel message, urging people to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. So, where should this pastoral evangelism begin? Keep Reading

  • William Tyndale’s Final Words

    from Steven Lawson Feb 18, 2015 Category: Articles

  • William Tyndale: The Father of Modern English

    from Steven Lawson Feb 11, 2015 Category: Articles

    With his New Testament, William Tyndale became the father of the Modern English language. He shaped the syntax, grammar, and vocabulary of the English language more than any man who ever lived more than the author Geoffrey Chaucer, the playwright William Shakespeare, or the poets Percy Shelley and John Keats.
