I’ve been working through 2 Corinthians for several months now with an adult Sunday School class at our church. Paul is dealing with his apostolic credentials and imploring the church at Corinth to exercise discernment with respect to the flashy but false teachers that have won over the hearts of many.
It’s tempting to think “How [...]
Tonight, I was taking a look at the “Christianity” section of the local Barnes & Nobel bookstore. The best way I can describe this experience was “cruising through a minefield”. Yes, there were some genuinely orthodox titles, but they were literally bracketed by a panoply of selections ranging from marginal at best to heretical at [...]
Consider these words from the Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 3…
“3…Scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 [...]
David Brickner, Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, recently spoke to the issue of keeping the Great Commission front and center in all missions endeavors. His article, entitled “If It’s New”, addresses trends in missions that give him (and me as well!) cause for great concern.

From John MacArthur in his message on 2 Corinthians 10:7ff…
“Something else is true about false teachers. They don’t want anybody putting limits on their influence. David McKenna wrote an interesting paragraph in one of his books years ago. This is what he said, ‘Self-styled messiahs are always megalomaniacs. Their sense of [...]
Jay Bennett and I have the distinction of both being graduates of Dallas Theological Seminary. Jay spent some serious time under the watchful eye of Dr. John Hannah. And Geoff (our son, who’s a whole lot smarter than his dad) had the distinction of having a class in the life and ministry of Jonathan [...]
As I was chatting with a Jewish friend this morning after a workout, our conversation turned to developments in Zimbabwe. As we continued in our conversation, I mentioned the time our family had spent in South Africa. My friend asked me what had prompted me to go to South Africa and I told him that [...]
Very seriously, give this message by Pastor Jack Hughes a careful listen, parents and children.
