Anonement – Sufficient and Effecitve

I appreciate Adrian Warkock’s understanding of the Antonment. He show a bery balanced view and how at the same time the atonement is applied in some way to everyone as well as specifically to only those that believe.

Today’s Main Theological Dangers

Mark Dever Gives a great summery of the Theological Dangers facing the church. He states: The main theological dangers I see confronting us today are a practical rejection of the authority of God’s word even by those who theoretically submit to it; a rejection of the sovereignty of God in favor of the putative sovereignty of man; a caricature, misunderstanding, or rejection of the penal substitution of Christ for sinners; a shallow understanding of conversion as a mere shift of opinions; a worldliness in our evangelism which deceives people about the very nature of the gospel we are hoping to
