This Ragtown Pulpit sermon comes from Deuteronomy 4:32-40 and continues Pastor Runyan's walk through the book. Moses gives the people a list of reasons that should urge them toward obedience to God's commands. These same reasons are presently powerful to warm and thrill the Christian heart, inspiring the believer to a life of whole-hearted devotion. In fact, it may be that there is no true worship that lacks these ingredients. This message is warm and pastoral, meant to move the ordinary believer onward in our walk with the Lord. Read and be greatly encouraged.

In the Bible, what was the basis of the ancient people of God enjoying all the gracious promises that He gave to Abraham? Was it merely a matter of physical ancestry, or has it been (even from the book of Genesis) a matter of ethical/judicial action? Does a little Abrahamic blood in your veins buy you some sort of favor from God, even in spite of a persistent lack of faith? As we look at Deuteronomy 4:23-31, these questions are immensely relevant in our day. This is not a sermon about politics, though it does carry some obvious, political ramifications. Pastor Runyan leads us in an "...

It's hard to know a God we don't understand, and it's hard to love a God we don't know. But our God wants to be known and loved, and He’s told us a lot about Himself in the pages of His Word—particularly that He is a “three-in-one” God. Although it is a crucial and classic Christian teaching, understanding the Trinity can be intimidating at first. But it doesn’t have to be! Join bestselling author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Tara-Leigh Cobble as she walks you through the triune nature of God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

New Covenant Theology uses Bible words for Bible concepts. It follows the Biblical progressive development of God’s revelation presenting Jesus Christ as the central figure of His revelation in promise and fulfillment. This book is an introductory guide and serves as a basic primer to the distinctives of New Covenant Theology (NCT) in seven major Christ-centered doctrinal areas. The distinctives are presented in clear, simple language. It is not complicated or difficult to understand. The author states his purpose at the beginning: ‘In this book, I want to lay out the core concepts of ...

Examining God, the gospel, the Christian life, and more, Cunnington shows how the theme of distinction without separation unlocks doctrine and enables true community.

"Solid Ground" is the second edition of "Sound Doctrine." Mr. Clay has been a Christian for over fifty years, and he has written an accessible book for those who are interested in knowing more about the Christian faith and what Christians believe. In short chapters, Mr. Clay begins with the basics of Christianity and builds on them to address more controversial topics. His aim is two- fold: he wants to help Christians understand their faith and be better able to respond to God, and he wants to provide a book that someone who is not a Christian can use to understand the Christian religion. ...

This Ragtown Pulpit sermon is about the second Psalm, and its place in the hearts and minds of believers. Specifically, the dilemma concerning Psalm 2 is this: Why don't believers love it more than they do? It literally has everything you'd think a Christian would want in a very short passage. Christ himself is all over and throughout this Old Testament text. It's filled with promises of God's faithfulness and the victory of Christ's kingdom. Nevertheless, you've probably never heard anyone, anywhere, claim it as their favorite. That's just weird. There are reasons for this. This sermon ...

In our day and age, the concept of "sin" is considered gauche and repugnant, but to the Christian, our tendency to sin is a sorrow. In this excerpt from his book, "Solid Ground," Mr. Clay discusses our propensity to sin and the provision God has made for us to help us to walk in a manner pleasing to him. And he wrestles with a topic most Christians assume they know they answer to: do we have to sin?

One of Job's friends tells him, "Man is born for trouble as sparks fly upwards." The media talks about wars, famines, tsunamis, mud slides, rapes, murders, and untimely deaths from disease. Atheists point to these tragedies and claim that this proves God doesn't exist, or if He exists, He isn't good. Or, if He's good, He isn't powerful enough to do anything about it. In this excerpt from his book, "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explains that the answer to this question isn't difficult for the Christian because this topic is explored deeply and with great wisdom in the Bible. God is both good and ...

There is great confusion and controversy over the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Who is he, and what does he do? Is he some type of force? Is he an energy or a thing? Likewise, topics such as spiritual gifts, the baptism in the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit tend to incite differing views and discord, even amongst the sincerest and most devoted Christians. Because of all this, some have hesitated to study or teach on the Holy Spirit. This is unfortunate, since the Holy Spirit makes possible both the redemption (John 6:8-9, Rom 8:11) and sanctification (1 Pet 1:2) of believers. In ...

Everybody has a form of eschatology—beliefs about their future or the world's. For some, eschatology brings despair because everything ends in death—including the individual and the universe. Some have a vague hope of the afterlife. For Christians, they should have a certain hope because God has laid out his plan for the end times in Scripture. He reveals these things to teach his saints about his glory and control over history, to encourage them in uncertain times, and to equip them for good works, among other things. For these reasons, we should not neglect eschatology but instead ...

What are angels? Who are they and what can we learn from them? In Scripture, angels are mentioned over 250 times in thirty-four books of the Bible. Angels were present, rejoicing at God’s forming of the earth (Job 38:4-7). They visited Abraham’s house and brought judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18, 19:13). They were involved with the transmission of the Ten Commandments to Moses (Gal 3:19). An angel gave prophecies to Daniel about Israel’s future (Dan 9, 10). Likewise, an angel prophesied the messiah’s birth to both Mary and Joseph (Matt 1, Lk 1). An angel strengthened Christ ...

What is anthropology? Anthropology comes from the Greek word anthropos which means man or humanity. Therefore, anthropology is the study of humans. It considers who we are and why we exist. In secular universities, the study is engaged primarily from a man-centered perspective; however, since God created humans and made them in his image, it is impossible to truly study humanity apart from God. It is from God that people derive their significance and purpose. Consequently, the study of anthropology is intensely practical. For us to know who we are and what to do with our lives, we must see ...
