The Gospel is for Christians
February 28th, 2010The great theologian B. B. Warfield on why the gospel is needed for believers:
There is nothing in us or done by us, at any stage of our earthly development, because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake, or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only when we believe. It is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live. Our need of Christ does not cease with our believing; nor does the nature of our relation to Him or to God through Him ever alter, no matter what our attainments in Christian graces or our achievements in behavior may be. It is always on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest.

The role of women in the local church
February 17th, 2010Angus MacLeay Vicar of St Nicholas Church Sevenoaks Kent made the inside pages of the Mail and the Mirror on Saturday 13 February for daring to suggest that the Bible taught ‘wives should submit to their husbands in everything’. See the leaflet that caused the controversy on the pastor’s blog page. (For the record the offending leaflet referred to in both newspapers was written by Carrie Sandom the female curate at St Andrews the Great Cambridge!). Both Angus and Carrie are old friends of our Pastor John Edmonds.

Euan Murray and the Gospel (in the Guardian!)
February 5th, 2010“He picks up a mug of tea and a glass of water and holds them out in front of him. “This is the tea, all dirty and horrible, this is me, yeah? That’s Jesus,” he says, motioning to the water. “Pure. He’s taken that filth upon himself and before God he says, ‘Punish me for it’. He’s been punished and look what he’s given me. That perfect goodness in the eyes of God. He’s declared me innocent.”
