The Confluence blog has shared the following Lloyd-Jones quote: “It is clear that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is always something clear and unmistakable, something which can be recognized by the person to whom it happens and by others who look on at this person. This is obviously a most vital and important principle. Those, of course, who tend to identify the baptism of the Holy Spirit with regeneration, and say that all who become Christians receive the baptism... Read more

Terry Virgo is continuing to share his series of video interviews with his son. Today I share here another video which addresses Terry’s view of the Bible. Here is an extract from his words about things we must preach boldly and clearly: Present God in his person and character. Present Jesus without any disguise. We need the authentic Jesus. The fact that he is God and man. Be very clear about the trinity and these unchanging realities about God. People... Read more

Michael Green in the following quote urges us not to fall into the same trap the Pharisees of Jesus’ day did. It makes sobering reading, and the rest of the section is worth buying this book for alone! A graphic description of Pharisaism (23:1–12) The teachers of the law and the Pharisees have, says Jesus, a God-given teaching authority: they sit in Moses’ seat (1), and are to be respected for their teaching role in the synagogue. The same applies... Read more

Today we conclude our series of extracts from my dear friend Phil Moore’s new books. I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I did! YOUR CALL (1:2) “To the church of God in Corinth … together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ – their Lord and ours.” (1 Corinthians 1:2) Paul never uses the word ‘Christian’ in his letters. It’s not just that the word was used as a label... Read more

Today we continue to hear from Phil Moore on 1 Corinthians: SEEING GOD AMIDST THE MESS (1:1-9) “I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Corinthians 1:4) Two of my relatives are former church leaders who have stepped out of ministry and turned their backs on the Church. If you heard their stories, you probably wouldn’t blame them. They saw church life at its worst and the disappointment crushed their spirits. Someone... Read more
