I have discussed the gospel in some detail in the previous posts. I felt the detail was important because of the declining state of the culture that has suppressed the truth of the scriptures, most particularly, the gospel, which is the central message of the bible. I have discussed the what, the who and the …
The Gospel Part 6 – Who is Jesus Christ?
In the last post, I provided basic biblical doctrine about God. To summarize: This post is the most important in the gospel series on this site. It is about the person of Jesus Christ and how through him alone, God offers salvation – eternal life in the Kingdom of God. The offer of eternal life …

The Gospel Part 4 – How Sinful Are We?
But at your word I will lower the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. 7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to …

The Gospel Part 3 – Sin Bars Entry Into Heaven
The last post was a discussion about good works, the effort many think will earn them a place in heaven. It’s a very common belief, one I used to hold as well. I showed in the last post that Biblical salvation, that is, eternal life, is a free gift not earned or deserved. Think about …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 3 – The Deception of Many
When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? Matthew 16:2-3 The …

Will the Western Church Change Part V – Church Operations and Leadership
I proposed biblical reform of the church in the last post – reform in accordance with the original model depicted in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Acts. The primary reason I am proposing reform is for the church to put its full attention back on the mission of the gospel. Most of …

Will the Western Church Change Part IV – Biblical Reform
My last post defined the model I believe the church should return to in these last days. I advocated a return to the church model defined clearly in the New Testament because, regarding mission results, it worked. It seems logical that the model documented in the Word of God is there for a reason – …
