On Reformation Day, we move beyond the familiar story of Martin Luther and the Ninety-Five Theses to examine his often-overlooked theology of the cross. What did Luther actually teach at the Heidelberg Disputation of 1518? How does it relate to justification, suffering, human reason, and the distinction between Law and Gospel? We examine the biblical foundations, common misunderstandings, and why the theology of the cross must ultimately direct us to Christ rather than ourselves.

Before opening the biblical texts, we ask a fundamental question: How can anyone know that a message actually came from God?

Does participation in the divine nature guarantee victorious Christian living? We review teaching on 2 Peter 1, examine claims about holiness and human cooperation, and ask how some interpretations accounts for the continuing reality of sin in Christians.

A Baptist pastor uses the story of C.T. Studd and his brother George to illustrate obedience and disobedience to God\. But there's a shocking problem: the historical account is misleading, and the preacher leaves out clear historical facts.

Philip Anthony Mitchell is preparing to release his new book, Contend, while warning about biblical illiteracy, false teaching, and the lack of genuine biblical exposition. But do his own sermons withstand biblical scrutiny?
