Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 30, 2000

We fool the magician (Satan, the master illusionist) by refusing to believe the illusion, pulling back the curtain and trusting the unseen reality.

Using illusion, he has carried the art to the extreme. He has “walked through” the Great Wall of ...read more

What Will You Do With The Gospel?

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 22, 2001

The gospel produces a burden, produces boldness, produces confidence, reveals God’s righteousness, and reveals God’s wrath.

No other portion of Holy Scripture so completely sets forth the great doctrines of the Christian faith as does Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.
