Glorious Freedom

March 28, 2011

From Sinclair Ferguson You may have been a Christian for some time and yet not grasped your new status in Christ. You may still be intimidated by the domineering character of the tyrant who once ruled over you. Believers sometimes wrongly assume: “I have sinned; therefore, sin still has authority over me.

The Hole in Our Holiness

November 23, 2010

I [kevin deyoung] have a growing concern that younger evangelicals do not take seriously the Bible’s call to personal holiness.
