G.K. Chesterton once said, "If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride."[1] Indeed pride is at the root of many, and arguably, all of our struggles with sin. Pride is often at the heart of the breakdown of fellowship in many churches and amongst many Christians. Obadiah...

Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God
J.I. Packer (1954-2020) is probably one of my favourite writers, and this book is yet another great read by one who is, in my estimation and many others, one of the best Evangelical writers.

Residents of Philippi were very proud of their Roman citizenship as shown by their accusation against him in Acts 16:21, of "advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice." Paul utilized...
