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 [...]

Right now, I am in the middle of a fairly thorough study of the book of Leviticus.  While it is not my intention to post a 500 page discourse on this book, I would like to give you a brief fly-over of what, so far, has been the most striking impression thus far.  Sinful man trying [...]

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 [...]

When a person becomes a Christian, they are “born again” and become a “new creation” in Christ.  From this point on the Spirit of God leads us out of sin and into a life that is an increasingly accurate reflection of the righteousness of Christ.  The righteousness that we have before the Father came from [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

The Christian is commanded not to sin.  As our Father changes our desires (Philippians 2:13) He opens our eyes to the sin in our life, and we begin to hate it and strive against it.  But, having a sinful nature, we still sin.  This process of hating and fighting sin through the strength God gives [...]

I was recently browsing “Musings from a Theo-Geek“, which is a blog I stumbled upon just this weekend, and found a terrific article addressing the true nature of our adoption.  When I say, “our adoption” I am referring to the adoption of the Christian into the family of God.  The legal act made possible by [...]

Recently I had an experience that profoundly troubled me.  Visiting a local Church (Southern Baptist, not some crazy progressive universalist coffee-house) I got to experience a “cool” worship leader.  Greased hair, jokes about being “cool enough” to lead, “Christian” tattoos, and absolutely no (as in zero, zilch, nada) respect for the God he was claiming [...]
