“Mission begins with a kind of explosion of joy. The news that the rejected and crucified Jesus is alive is something that cannot possibly be suppressed. It must be told. Who could be silent about such a fact? The mission of the Church in the pages of the New Testament is like the fallout from a vast explosion, a radioactive fallout which is not lethal but life-giving.” GivingKindFactsJoyJesusChurchAliveNewsPagesSilentMissionsRejectedTestamentExplosionsNew TestamentFallouts Book:The Gospel in a Pluralist Society Source: The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
“There is no better test as to whether a man is really preaching the New Testament gospel of salvation than the fact that some people might misunderstand it and misinterpret it to mean that it really amounts to this–that because you are saved by grace alone it does not matter at all what you do, that you can go on sinning as much as you like because it will abound all the more to the glory of grace. That is a very good test of gospel preaching. If my preaching and presentation of the gospel of salvation does not expose it to that misunderstanding, then it is not the gospel.” PeopleIfsMenMeanDoeMatterFactsMightGraceGoes OnAmountGloryTestsSalvationVery GoodSavedPreachingTestamentMisunderstandingNew TestamentPresentationSinningSaved By Grace Author:Martyn

“The most superficial fact regarding the 'Discourses,' the fact that the number of its chapters equals the number of books of Livy's 'History,' compelled us to start a chain of tentative reasoning which brings us suddenly face to face with the only New Testament quotation that ever appears in Machiavelli's two books and with an enormous blasphemy.” TwoBookFactsFacesNumbersEnormousChainsReasoningChaptersQuotationsSuperficialTestamentDiscourseCompelledNew TestamentFace To FaceBlasphemy Author:Leo Strauss
