The Central Truth of Christianity
The truth is, that our Lord would have us regard the crucifixion as the central truth of Christianity.

On matters of church government, and the form of worship, men may differ [...]

Model Christ’s Patience in Afflictions

Let us often look forward to the Judgment Day. There are many things going on in the world that try our faith. The frequent triumphing of the wicked is perplexing. The frequent depression of the godly is a problem that appears hard to solve. But it shall all be made clear one day. The tangled [...]
Knowing Christ…Personally
You may know a good deal about Christ, by a kind of head knowledge. You may know who He was, and where He was born, and what He did. You may know His miracles, His sayings, His prophecies, and His ordinances. You may know how He lived, and how He suffered, and how He died. [...]
