"Our faith is a Person" —Spurgeon

Charles H. Spurgeon:

“Our faith is a Person. The gospel that we have to preach is a Person. And go wherever we may, we have something solid and tangible to preach. If you had asked the twelve apostles, in their day, ‘What do you believe in?’ they would not have needed to […]

Reverse Thinking. It’s the result of the new birth—being born again. I’m reminded of the words of Jesus in John 3:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

Our "humble theology"
