Andy Mineo - Clarity
[Intro]
Sometimes you can just be in a funk creatively or you know, as a person and it's like there's a fog around you and you can't see out of it, but, that's part of the journey
Hm, patient, this beat done took its time
Well, then so do I

The Apostles' Creed
(as usually recited today)
The basic creed of Reformed churches, as most familiarly known, is called the Apostles' Creed. It has received this title because of its great antiquity; it dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of...
The Glorious Gospel
by Arthur W. Pink (1940)
"The glorious gospel of the blessed God." 1 Timothy 1:11
The Gospel evidences itself to be Divine, because it enunciates that which the mind of man could not possibly have originated. The grand truths which it proclaims, are without any parallel...
What Is the Gospel?
By W. Robert Godfrey
Many Christians, churches, and organizations regularly use the word gospel to describe their convictions. Theological controversies have occurred and do occur over the meaning of the gospel and who preaches it faithfully. What does that familiar word...
What is a “Gospel” Anyway?
A Few Thoughts on Gospel Genre and Why it Matters
by Michael J. Kruger
When it comes to reading (and interpreting ) the Gospels, one of the fundamental questions pertains to the kind of document we are reading. What exactly is a “Gospel”? And did the earliest...
Why You Still Need The Gospel
By Tim Keller
Acts 15:1-25
Introduction: Why the Gospel is Central
It is tempting to think that the gospel is how someone is saved and then they grow and move on to more mature spiritual topics. But Acts 15 shows us how Paul prioritized gospel centrality as a...

The Primacy of the Gospel
by Lee Irons
"For my daily Greek reading I was in 1 Corinthians 15 this morning. The opening paragraph is very helpful in orienting us to the primacy of the gospel:
“[1] Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received...
What Is the Gospel?
by R.C. Sproul
"There is no greater message to be heard than that which we call the gospel. But as important as that is, it is often given to massive distortions or over simplifications. People think they’re preaching the gospel to you when they tell you, ‘you can have a...
The Doctrine of Original Sin

Genesis 6:5-8,11-13 - Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually..... The earth also was...
"It is to be borne in mind, however, that the extent of the collection may have — and indeed is historically shown actually to have varied in different localities. The Bible was circulated only in handcopies, slowly and painfully made; and an incomplete copy, obtained say at Ephesus in A.D. 68...
Calvin and Servetus
by William Wileman
"A calm and impartial view of this sad subject has been reserved for this place, and for a chapter1 of its own. The immense advantage of having been able to consult and to weigh the evidence of the principal writers – certainly not fewer than forty – about...
