I have also posted from Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones writings on The Introduction and Articles... Read more

“If you don’t have anything to show that you have a changed heart, there’s a good reason to question whether you’ve actually been saved in the first place.” Mark Byron explains why Christians do need to change their behaviour… (tags: atonement gospel) “The doctrine of justification by faith is the very life and nerve of the Gospel itself.” Phil Johnson continues his series on the Reformation principle of sola fide, the “one doctrine [which] encompasses the heart and soul of...

The Daily Duck reviews my sermon “Free Because of Jesus” as follows. He seems to have grasped the message fairly well. “Adrian placed repeated emphasis on the phrase ‘no condemnation’. By accepting Jesus, Adrian declared, one becomes free of any condemnation due to sin. There is no judgment for one in Christ, no weighing of a life’s works, good or bad. In Jesus, Adrian repeated, one is not under the Law. The Law makes us sin. In Jesus all laws... Read more

Christ’s death was fore-ordained, and there was not only man’s hand in it, but God’s . . .

The unbeliever, Duck, needs your prayers right now. Having unwittingly sparked the whole Atonement debate, he has risen to a challenge I set him and responds as follows: “Adrian, I took up your challenge and listened to your sermon this morning. I’d have to say that it has been some time since I last spent a Sunday morning that way. First off, I’d have to say that you are an excellent speaker. Growing up Catholic, I was used to the...

Today I preached a sermon entitled “Secure Because of the Spirit“. The mp3 is available to download. This message was a follow-up to last week’s message, which I called “Free Because of Jesus“. Here are the notes I used . . . .SECURE BECAUSE OF THE SPIRIT (Romans 8) This message is really Part 2 of last week’s talk. If we had more time, I would have preached one “mega sermon instead you get to hear it over two weeks.... Read more
Dave Warnock Gets to T4G Article 2 Not surprisingly, he finds things with which to disagree . . . (tags: T4GB bible) “The Atonement is truly part of the hope of the Gospel: each of us was lost and condemned in our sins, but God provided a perfect sacrifice for us…He was full of wrath because we stole His glory and ignored His beauty. His wrath had to be appeased.” “This is not a case of cosmic child abuse, but... Read more
A regular speaker at newfrontiers conferences, John KpiKpi is a man dear to my heart. He is someone who has run after his dream and is well on the way to seeing it fulfulled. John leads a church in Ghana, and oversees the work of newfrontiers in West Africa. His book is well summarised on the newfrontiers resource site as follows: God is about a great work in the earth which encompasses all the tribes and nations of the world.... Read more
