Gospel-Driven Sanctification

Gospel-Driven Sanctification: by Tullian Tchividjian Sinclair Ferguson reminds us that piety not marinated in the gospel will run out of gas–that imperatives minus indicatives equal impossibilities: The first thing to remember is that we must never separate the benefits (regeneration, justification, sanctification) from the Benefactor (Jesus Christ). The Christians who are most focused on their own spirituality may give the impression of being the most spiritual … but from the New Testament’s point of view, those who have almost forgotten about their own spirituality because their focus is so exclusively on their union with Jesus Christ and what He has

What Would the Modern Preacher Have Done? (Paul Washer)

Christianity is the only unique, powerful, revealed, true Gospel in the world. With many pastors today truncating this precious Gospel of Christ, it is encouraging to see it preached in a powerful and biblial way. I pray that this video will encourage you to procalim the gospel of Christ with more boldness, and more conviction that at when one preaches the cross of Jesus Christ it is sufficient to effect the salvation of sinners from their sins. see also www.disciplemaking.net

Gospel is focus of SBC unity, Ascol says

It is so refreshing to hear finally that the discussions in the SBC are turning toward theology. I appreciate Tom Ascol’s remarks at the founders conference this year. He points to center our lives around the Gospel. Good Theology always drives us to the Gospel and helps us define, document, defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A fully biblical Gospel, with all its related doctrines, must again be proclaimed in churches and in evangelism. Here is a quote that convicted me to become more theolgically and gospel minded: “I believe we are living in an early era of ‘re-theologizing’ of
