Mirriam-Webster defines theology as follows: : the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially : the study of God and of God’s relation to the world In simple terms, theology is what you believe about God, why you believe it, and how it affects your life.  Everyone “does” theology.  Even an atheist does theology [...]

How much freedom in Christ does a Christian truly have?  This time of year seems to be a magnet for discussions on this topic.  Some folks celebrate Christmas, some don’t.  Often this topic (as well as other topics) lead to frenzied debate between the sheep.  I thought it might be interesting to take a 5 [...]

Amazing Adoption – What an absolute jaw-dropping concept!  That sinful, rebellious man could be (and would be) adopted into the family of our Holy Lord!  Listen as this sermon explores the concept of adoption by looking at an often over-looked passage (John 20:11-18).  After being denied and abandoned by His closest followers, one of our [...]

Aside from William Gurnall, John Owen is my favorite Puritan author.  Tonight being Friday night, what better way to end the work week than a quote from Owen to think upon and be challenged as we head into the weekend… If I have observed anything by experience, it is this: a man may take the [...]

You may think that the Grey god is a facet of modern theology that is found only in the liberal-leaning churches, but I submit to you that this view has crept into almost all modern churches in some form or another, especially in the youth programs. But I am getting ahead of myself.  Let me [...]

One Million Tracts is going to begin publishing a magazine written by evangelists, for evangelists. Now, when I say “evangelists” I am not speaking of the television charlatans who preach a false Jesus in an effort to dig into your wallet or lead you into an emotional frenzy. Rather, I am referring to the everyday [...]

The Rich Young Ruler – Religious cults try to twist it into something it isn’t, Muslims try to use it in their lies about Jesus and modern young preachers try to make it a proof text that living a selfless life is the true gospel.  And it isn’t that Jesus just wanted to give us [...]

How important is it to know the context of a verse when it is used in a sermon or teaching? Very important.  Really very important.  Mucho-grande really important.  Without knowing the context (that is, the verses surrounding the one given, and their meaning) of a verse or passage, you have no way of knowing whether [...]

If you were to browse my bookshelf, it would quickly become evident that I like to read theology books written by dead guys.  That is, the vast majority of authors on my shelves have been dead for hundreds of years.  I find modern authors to be tainted by a sensual culture that influences their worldview, [...]

“Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.” – Genesis 5:24 Autumn is right around the corner, and with it a new season of activity for many who go by the name “Christian”.  School is starting for children, seasonal jobs are ending (or beginning), political activity will be increasing, and even [...]

So much teaching about evangelism these days focuses on “sharing our testimony” as if the fact we as Christians live better lives will somehow save people from sin, death and the devil.  It won’t.  Our new & improved life, sense of purpose and accomplishment, along with freedom from addictions is NOT the Gospel.  A good therapist, exciting career [...]

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” – John 13:35 We here at ChurchSalt occasionally draw attention to ministries worthy of prayer and support.  In our humble opinion, Voice of the Martyrs is a ministry very worthy of support!  Why?  Before answering that, let [...]
