Is John’s Gospel Sufficient for Evangelism?
By Doug Potgeter I met a friend for coffee recently, and we thoroughly enjoyed an edifying conversation about the Bible and theology.

Review of Is Calvinism Biblical? Let the Scriptures Decide by Robert N. Wilkin
By Kathryn Wright Calvinistic theology is gaining popularity among Evangelicals today. I have been involved with Southern Baptist churches for much of my life, and this theology is becoming increasingly prominent in the seminaries and pulpits. This especially seems to be the case with young pastors. When people defend Calvinism, they often deal with it […]
The Sobering Reality Facing Single Christian Men and the Top Five Ways to Stand Amid the Current of Culture
By Nathanael Stevens The news industry gained a lot of viewers through the debate on “a war on women”—but the tagline was mere semantics, if not outright deception. The truth is, there was and is a war on gender. More specifically, there is a war on masculinity and femininity. Women have been encouraged to renounce […]
Paul’s Blueprint for How to Give Your Testimony (Acts 22)
By Kathryn Wright Many ministries, churches, and Christian organizations train believers to give their salvation testimonies as a tool for evangelism. In this training, the apostle Paul is often seen as the gold standard when it comes to how we are to share our own testimonies. His example in the book of Acts is used […]
Does the Word Gospel Equal Jesus Christ’s Death and Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15?
By Dr. John H. Niemelä First Corinthians 15’s definition of the word gospel is important.1 For brevity’s sake, I assume the view that saved in 15:2 refers to sanctification, not regeneration. Lowery writes, “As the former message was an essential element in the Corinthians’ experience of ongoing salvation (the pres. tense of the verb saved […]
Will You Weep at the Bema?
By Bill Fiess Recently, my 102-year-old father died and left an inheritance to each of his four children. My parents were not extremely rich, but they were both college-educated professionals, and they left us a very nice inheritance.

Our Miracle Baby
By Nancy Rempel Mrs. Mahsud squeezed her 15-year-old daughter Razwana’s arm like a vise as they hurried out of the mission hospital. February temperatures in northern Pakistan had dipped to near-freezing, but their brows were wet with sweat.

The Missing Resurrection
By Bruce Zimmerman I have a friend named Mike who went on a missions trip to Colombia to share the gospel using the Evangecube. Similar to a Rubik’s cube, the Evangecube, through various manipulations, portrays different pictures sharing the elements of the gospel message of Jesus. The unfolding pictures help keep the attention of the […]
A Review of Voddie Baucham Jr.’s Book, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe
By Ken Yates1 Baucham addresses the problem of critical race theory, intersectionality, and critical social justice, and their impact on our society and Evangelicalism. These ideas view racism as being engrained in the very fabric of America. They see white privilege and white supremacy at the root of all our problems. Taken together, these ideas […]
Is It Possible Your View of the Gospel Is Wrong?
By Bob Wilkin John Carlson asked me that question. A few weeks later, I believed in the Lord Jesus Christ for everlasting life. That was no coincidence. His question led to my new birth. Countless people over the centuries have come to faith in the same way. They lacked assurance and someone came along and […]
