Tim Keller on the Gospel

Posted on July 23, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 1 Comment

It is quite easy to assume that if we understand the gospel accurately and preach it faithfully, our ministry will necessarily be shaped by it. – but this is not true. Many churches subscribe to gospel doctrines but do not have a ministry that is shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel. Its […]

The fight against inanity

Posted on July 21, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments

The struggle I have is that the church can be just as unthinking and un-engaged as the people the author describes in the article. In the church, we have real answers to real questions, but too often the church is the last place where people feel comfortable asking those questions.

. . . it is the character of This Age to choke the working of the Word of God. The spirit of the Age is hostile to the Gospel.

Is it really good news?

Posted on July 7, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 2 Comments

The word gospel literally means “good news.” In Greek, the word is euanggelion from which we derive our English words, evangelical and evangelism. So, an evangelical church is one that preaches the Gospel or good news of Jesus Christ. The question that strikes me this morning is, “are we really offering good news?” I have […]

Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the Gospel

Posted on November 18, 2013 Written by Mark McIntyre 2 Comments

Let us therefore remind ourselves before we go any further that the gospel announces, at the very beginning, that man is absolutely helpless in the matter of his salvation, he can do nothing at all about it.

Embarrassing

Skipping the embarrassing parts . . .

I’m learning to be increasingly comfortable with the embarrassing bits of Scripture because they teach me a lesson that I struggle to hear, that of grace.

Question 18

What is sinful about man’s fallen condition?

Malcolm Muggeridge has written, “The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.” One does not have to work very hard to find evidence that something is very broken in the world. If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that there is something very broken inside of us.

Already Compromised

Already Compromised – What You Should Know About Educating Your Child

The Opportunity I have seen some students emerge from Christian colleges with a passion to live for Jesus Christ. I have seen others come away from their learning experience discouraged and disillusioned about their faith. As a result of this, when given an opportunity to read Already Compromised on the condition that I do a […]

Book Review: The Heart of the Story by Randy Frazee

I was given an opportunity to obtain a review copy of The Heart of the Story, by Randy Frazee. The title and description of the book interested me so I took advantage of the offer. The author nearly lost me right from the get-go when he tried to provide perspective on how large the universe […]
