At multiple points, Paul writes that he is not ashamed of the gospel. Why did he need to write that? What is it about the gospel that could bring shame on someone who preaches it--or believes it? The gospel offends us in our self-righteousness. That’s clear. It also offends us in our licentiousness. The truth of our union with Christ and liberation from sin’s dominion can fly in the face of the desires of our flesh. In all of this, the Lord has us and will complete the good work he has begun in us! Jon and Justin talk about all of this on today’s episode.
Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin consider how we will bear reproach for the sake of Christ and the gospel. This is the normative experience of Christians.

MTD and the Only Way to Heaven - Don ...
The MTD worldview is a broad road that leads to destruction. It’s a popular road to walk because it’s easy and no one will be persecuted for taking it. But Biblical Christianity is exclusive in its truth claim that Jesus Christ is the only way to a God. There is no room for compromise.
