Daily Truth

Jonah wanted Nineveh to be destroyed. Nineveh was the capitol city of Assyria. And Assyria was an enemy of God and his people. No one thought Nineveh could repent, but God was able to change their hearts.

Unity in the church is vital. When an influential leader causes others to be led astray by his actions/teachings, public correction is necessary.

“The whole Scripture is a light shining in a dark place; a lamp or torch to be carried in the hand of a believer, while he passes through this dark world; and is in the present state of imperfection, in which he sees things but darkly... By means of it he may see and shun the stumbling blocks in his way, and escape falling into pits and ditches; it is a good light to walk and work by... Now it should be observed, that the word of God is only so to a man whose eyes are opened and enlightened by the Spirit of God... for a lamp, torch, candle, or any other light are of no use to a blind man.” -John Gill

There are few men this ministry is more grateful for than Pastor John MacArthur. But although we heartily agree with much of his teaching and appreciate the vast majority of his impact on the global church, we respectfully disagree with his eschatology and approach to culture/politics. Ironically, despite MacArthur’s apparent bent towards “two-kingdom theology,” few men have had more of an impact on not only the church, but also the culture. This video briefly expresses our few (but significant) theological differences from Pastor John MacArthur.

I’ve never witnessed another organization more committed to losing than Evangelical Christians. Christians are committed to growing the church through conversion, but they are meticulously careful to expand the church while never winning in the realm of culture and politics. It’s time to get our eschatology right!

Ever heard someone try to prove Premillennialism by saying, “Just look at the world! Can’t you see how things keep getting worse?” Things do sometimes look bleak when we focus on one generation in one nation. However, when we survey the scope of the whole world over the past 2,000 years, things appear to be trending in the right direction.

In justification, God gives a man spiritual eyes to see, but initial conversion does not produce perfect sight. In sanctification, God progressively improves our vision so that we might see him more clearly.

No one reaches a point of sinless perfection in this life. In the same way, no one perfectly repents in this life. If you could repent perfectly, you would live perfectly. So how much repentance is necessary to prove that a person is saved?

Yes, God uses suffering to sanctify us. Christians are even commanded to be thankful in all circumstances, including suffering. However, there is a difference between thanking God for suffering and asking God for suffering. We are never to petition God for pain

Prosperity is not God’s stamp of approval on our lives, but neither is poverty. A person can be rich and wicked. Likewise, a person can be poor and wicked. God uses both suffering and blessing to sanctify his people.
