“The venerable dead are waiting in my library to entertain me and relieve me from the nonsense of surviving mortals.” —Samuel Davies (1723–1761)
"Why am I the only book that you open to read just one or two verses? I don’t see you taking your other books and only reading one sentence."
10 Things Your Bible Wants You to Know About It Hello, it’s me, your Bible. I’m glad you’ve taken some time out of your day to hear what I have to say, because I think many people don’t really understand me. But because you are curious enough to listen, here are 10 things I want…
Your opinion about any conspiracy theory changes nothing. "Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. But the Lord of hosts, Him you shall honor as holy. Let Him be your fear and your dread" (Isaiah 8:12-13).
What's a conspiracy theory you believe with your whole heart?
“The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God, all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices.” —J. C. Ryle, 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘖𝘭𝘥 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 1.23
“The only way you can be saturated with the thoughts of Christ is to Saturate yourself with the book that is all about Him.” -John MacArthur
Comments heard on current world events regarding prophecy have prompted childhood memories. Does anyone else remember Steuart McBirnie's 1970s radio spot, Voice of Americanism? If so, how did it shape your worldview? McBirnie was also technical advisor for the Omen movies.
“Although the principle of faith and the principle of repentance are in the moment of regeneration implanted in the soul together and at once, yet the exercise of faith in the order of nature, goes before the exercise of true repentance.” — John Colquhoun, Evangelical Repentance…
John was my favorite person to talk to, and I was privileged to talk to him almost every day on Grace to You. One of the best perks of my job: I could ask him any question I wanted. youtube.com/watch?v=cbSQ3t…
The memorial service for John MacArthur will be at 10:30am on 23 August at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA. Sinclair Ferguson is scheduled to deliver the message.
As James White has said, the only consistent Arminian is an Open Theist.
Don't get your theology from William Lane Craig.
Something I’ll always remember and love about John MacArthur was his combination of humility and love for the Word of God. Those virtues meant that he was delighted to sit under (and promote) the ministry of other laborers, even if their gifts were far inferior to his own. I…
The Day the Prince of Darkness Died Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Appointment with Eternity I was 16 the first time I heard “Mr. Crowley.” The way it began…haunting organ, crashing guitar…grabbed me by the throat. I didn’t know what the lyrics meant. I didn’t care. I was angry,…
Not an Ozzy fan (Need I explain?), but this is pretty funny.
Beneath a large spruce tree in our yard dwells a cottontail family, which we have enjoyed as pets requiring no care--till today, when the Mrs caught one brazenly nibbling beet tops, with no effort to conceal his larceny. Now, she sings a different tune. bit.ly/46W2t7J
I'm seeing an actor who has gone through a few variations of his name. It's his business, of course, how he wants to be credited, but if my honest-to-pete given name was Mahershalalhashbaz, I'd not only use the full handle, I'd insist on it every time anyone addressed me.
My scholarship avails me nothing, nor my dogmatics: it is only my faith can save me.
I call this good.
3 years ago, Nike ads were morbidly obese black women doing yoga and a biological-male-mentally-ill-gay-trans-fame-whore, Dylan Mulvaney, in a sports bra. Now this. WE ARE BACK.
"that’s a choice, no matter how much they pretend otherwise."
People often speak of marital hardships as though they’re some aggressive cancer that just invaded their home. That’s rarely the case. Most broken marriages are broken because people chose to break them. You don’t have to do that. You can forgive and be kind.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. The only sure things are God's promises.
Nixon’s speech if Apollo 11 had failed, in which case the astronauts were stranded on the Moon, 1969.
Never forget that a dispensationalist set an example of bravery when some Reformed hid behind public pietism.
