		<title>Major in the majors and minor in the minors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have often heard the assertion communicated from the pulpit, “major in the majors and minor in the minors.”  It is a vague proclamation practiced in the Christian church today, in order to encourage unity and discourage divisions within the Body of Christ.  I believe the Word of God is clear on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;An Effective Atonement&#8221; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Evangelicals are traditionally taught to view salvation based on an arminian type of theology. For this reason they are not used to thinking analytically about exactly how the atonement works.  When asked the reasonable question, &#8220;How can the cross be a saving instrument?&#8221; The natural response given is different from the calvinist. 
[The concept [...]]]></description>

It’s true. One thousand, five hundred pastors leave the ministry every month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in their congregations.
With the establishment of the Ligonier Academy of Biblical &#38; Theological Studies, Ligonier will be able to fulfill a great need that exists among Christian pastors — [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;For God so Loved the World&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If the word &#8220;world&#8221; was always used in one uniform and constant sense in the writings of the apostle John, there would be merit to the observation for universal atonement. However, the apostle John admits a variety of connotations. Therefore, the intention of it in one place cannot be the rule for the interpretation of [...]]]></description>

		<title>God&#8217;s Absolute Sovereignty</title>

Human pride loathes the suggestion that God orders everything, controls everything, rules over everything. T he carnal mind, burning with enmity against God, abhors the biblical teaching that nothing comes to pass except according to His eternal decrees. [...]]]></description>
