The Gospel is both the milk and meat of the word, encompassing everything that God has accomplished in Christ and everything that God is doing in Christ.

It is amazing to me that I’m able to speak these things at this time, and people are understanding it. This is the result of sowing the Word over time and people growing. A year ago I did touch on these things, and people simply did not understand. Also, the Lord has added vocabulary

There is a dramatically accelerating shift happening in the visible “Protestant” church, even in the last five ten years. It seems that there are three major movements that are swiftly moving to totally redefine Christianity (and ultimately bring it back into the “Roman” fold). I only have space to speak briefly of them here, although

Is it unloving to deal with negative things and point out error? Paul tells us we are to let our love abound in knowledge and judgement. We are to approve by testing the things which differ (negative) and are more excellent. It is part of a process of walking free from offense until the day
