Many of us in the Christian church believe that if John MacArthur were to adopt (or re-adopt) an approach to the Holy Spirit similar to that of Chuck Smith, he would be standing on firmer biblical ground than he is perceived to be standing on today as it relates to charismatics and Pentecostals.

Will Pope Francis Balance Compassion and Repentance?
He certainly has his work cut out for him. Pope Francis says he wants to find a "new balance" in the Catholic church as it relates to hot-button moral issues in society and the church.

Christ Cannot Be One of Many Gods
Every religion in the world can only be truly understood in the reflection of Jesus Christ. Either Jesus is God, or He isn't. He claimed to forgive sins. Only God can do that. So they killed Him because they thought He wasn't God.

God Will Save Anyone But Not Everyone
There is a reason why Jesus is called "the Savior of the world," and not merely "the mentor" or "the example." Jesus Christ literally saves people from their sins. But not everyone. Only anyone.

Why Priests Should Be Allowed to Marry
Christians are people who trust in Christ's death for their salvation rather than their own religious deeds. They not only trust in Jesus as their Savior, but they also follow Him as their Lord. The Gospel message is the foundation of the Christian faith. And it produces a life of freedom in Christ.
