How Holiness Theology Transformed My Understanding Of Christianity

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Let me begin by saying that you should trust the scriptures over the words of any men. We must trust the scriptures much more than Luther, Calvin, Arminius, Wesley, Edwards, Whitefield or any Pope or bishop.

The Worshipper's Portrait (Drawn With A Scripture Pencil)

Contributed by Gordan Runyan on Aug 20, 2002

In Psalm 15, David’s asking God what a real worshipper looks like; do we look like God’s answer?

One of the old confessions of the church (Westminster) says that man’s chief end is to glorify God and to fully enjoy Him forever. That’s a pretty decent answer to why we’re all here. We were created to worship. It is man’s chief end. Worship is an end, not a means to an end. We worship “because ...read more

The Only Question Thomas Asked In Scripture
