- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"Christians A Chosen Generation. A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar
People"
"As God distinguished the people of Israel of old from all other nations, so he distinguishes
true Christians."
- GRACE TO YOU
"What Should I Look For When Choosing A New Church Home?"
"However, choosing where you and your children will learn the things of God and
serve the Lord Jesus Christ has eternal ramifications."
- GRACE TO YOU
"When Should A Person Leave A Church?"
"However, there are times when it becomes necessary to leave a church for the sake of one's own
conscience, or out of a duty to obey God rather than men."
- GRACE TO YOU
"Why Should I Attend Church?"
"Hebrews 10:24-25 commands every believer to be a part of such a local body and reveals why
this is necessary."
- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939
"Growing A Healthy Flock Series"
Sermon 1 - "The Shepherd's Responsibility" - 1
Thessalonians 5:12
Sermon 2 - "The Sheep's Responsibility" - 1 Thessalonians
5:13
"And so, this section will be instruction for life in the church, very practical, very basic, very
straight forward, very direct. And the church needs a good healthy dose of this kind of
instruction, believe me. If there's anything that grieves my heart across America, it is the fact that
we have so many unhealthy churches, so many churches that do not know the power of God, the
presence of God, the peace of God, the joy of God, that do not experience all of the blessings of
God that He pours out to those who are walking according to His will and moving ahead toward
being like Jesus Christ. We have many many unhealthy churches. It's a continual grief to me to
talk to pastors who are so deeply burdened because they are in a church that demonstrates a lack
of spiritual commitment. It also is a grief to me to hear from people who are in churches where
their leadership is not committed to spiritual growth and development. This country is filled with
busy churches and some big churches but many unhealthy churches. One rather cynical writer
looking at the church said that the church reminded him of Noah's ark. Of what he said, 'If it
weren't for the storm outside, you couldn't stand the stench inside.' That's a cynical view of the
church. That's a jaded view of the church."
- JOHN F. MacARTHUR 1939-present
What's Inside The Trojan Horse?"
"Church leaders reacted to the world's indifference, not by a return to strong biblical preaching
that emphasized sin and repentance, but by a pragmatic approach to 'doing' church-an approach
driven more by marketing, methodology, and perceived results than by biblical doctrine. The new
model of ministry revolved around making sinners feel comfortable and at ease in the church, then
selling them on the benefits of becoming a Christian. Earlier silence has given way to cultural
appeasement and conformity. Even the church's ministry to its own has changed. Entertainment has
hijacked many pulpits
across the country; contemporary approaches cater to the ever-changing whims of professing
believers; and many local churches have become little more than social clubs and community
centers where the focus is on the individual's felt needs. Even on Christian radio, phone-in talk
shows, music, and live psychotherapy are starting to replace Bible teaching as the staple.
'Whatever works,' the mantra of pragmatism, has become the new banner of evangelicalism."
