Now resident throughout the world, Christians in many places are agai ..."
"Can we trust them? Some belonging to the church contest the inerrancy of God's
Word. When they do, however, they depart from Jesus. They aren't just giving
away a doctrine devised by nineteenth-century Presbyterians, says DeYoung,
they are giving away Jesus. A Christian, when he evangelizes, can put all the
trust in Scripture that Jesus himself put into it—total trust. J. Ligon Duncan, as in
2012, draws percipiently from the Old Te ..."

"We pray that in the pages of this book God's people may again hear the gospel message, the good news that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. We are convinced that the most important question that a person can ask is, how can a sinner be in right relationship with a holy and just God? Indeed, we are convinced that this is the central theme of the Bible. Our prayer is that the teaching of God's Word and the truth of salvati ..."

But churches have something different and better. Churches have the gospel. Though we live in the world, we must not wage war like the world, or fight with its weapons. On the contrary, we have divine power to demolish strongholds. The gospel consists merely ..."
